My second serious venture into the 3D Modeling world. I'm making use of Image Plane this time around, and it's helping me greatly. The images aren't one hundred percent accurate in terms of small details, so I'm using them for a general shape, since they are graphs of sorts. Flat, with the least possibility for getting a disproportionate model. I'm using them in conjunction with several referance pictures I'm using to give me an idea of the finter details.

uh, where are you getting these pictures to use? All of the pictures I have seen of your models are very detailed plans. For example, the abrams tank.

B-17 is the Flying Fortress
B-52 is the Stratofortress
Know your planes before you try to name them

I don't think he is. All you need is google to find that out. But maybe...

Unnecessary. Well, maybe a little bit. Might want a glass shader on the cockpit with a view inside.
