Gday folks,
Just two quick shots showing the latest update of my Beech Starship project (which can be found here). I have managed to add something that resembles the tip sails and engines nacelles, also successfully exported into FSX without any problems. With each step she's getting closer. 8-)

Thanks for looking. :)

C&C welcome
Cheers

er....wow! Brilliant! I think ive seen a photo of this aircraft in a book from the mid eighties...?

I must have missed the earlier post you linked to, i didnt realise you had done anything like this. I keep looking at tutorials on how to do this, must have a bash one day!

Cant wait to see how it develops :)

Do you plan on making a VC?

Looks nice Mitch! :D

BTW...  Winglet needs to be pointed more IMO

I may still have some pictures since I spent a lot of time around them as a child when one was based in Buffalo.  I'll post 'em if I find them.

Thanks for the kind words gents, inspires me to work a little harder. :)

Because this is my first model I don't think I'm up to the task of modelling a complete VC. I am willing to leave it open for someone more talented to attempt one. 8-)

Agreed, thanks for the observation. The bloody useless 3-view drawings tell a lie and its not the first time either. Any pictures you may have will be great asset. Thanks Jordan.
