If I don't quit screwing around here, I may actually end up making a plane... :)
Please feel free to tear it apart and tell me what's wrong. ;)

Looks good to me!
1 question and one comment:
Are the landing gear struts really that thin?
You seem to have one, or two, polys at the back of the wheel opening in the wheel pants that shows a different lighting effect...amybe a twisted poly or a smoothing group issue.

I agree with SF.... the landing gear overall looks a bit too thin ...
did you make the tires yourself? I usually just pop in the default ds_tire2 and scale to please.
I'll check the file tonight, though...

Those are brilliant! Thanks a lot! Now I may have to start all over because those three views are so much better than the one I am working from... ::) :)
