What it is?

[Falcon500]

Any ideas on what the circled objects are, i have modeled the things on the engine but i dont what they are so that i know how many i need.






here are some updates

[SkyNoz]

Well every modeler should take in consideration ever detail, the center object that is circled looks like a pito tube and the engine objects may be cooling intakes, not sure? and the yellow object may be something related with the air temp.

You'll find that the engine "bumps" are the blisters to provide clearance for the valve rockers......

(Durn kids too used to them tooorbine enjuns and don't know about real enjuns!)

actually i thought they were clearances for the exaust tubes, and wouldnt the PITOT tube be one the wing, i'll get more pics though.

now would 30,000 polies be to much for a aircraft this size? i still need to add a lot of stuff

On the blisters, you are right.....  where they appeared they are the exhausts - opening to the rear.  Note that they are not symmetrical in arrangement around.

it appears to be as you said rockers, as the exaust is farther down, closer to the piston head

on the very bottom

Thirty-thousand polys, for something in that stage of creation, seems a bit much by my standards.

This is where we start nit-picking.

It appears he's modelling the B-25H gunship   (the G typically had only two mgs on the solid nose.)

The "Clayton S Stack" configuration of exhausts was introduced on the production line with the first B-25C-15,serial number 42-32383 and was standard on all subsequent B-25s.

Well there seems to be a lot of gray matter between the G, H, and, J


anywho this is just testing what i got




so you think i can get away with pentaganal bumps around the engines?

You would be at the mercy of those who cultivate nits - (also known as rivet counters or nit-pickers):

Oh, dont worry about them, I always carry niticide

a lot of polys

[Falcon500]

I reduced the poly count on the cheek blisters and the exaust gates by 200 each, like it is in these photos there are 31075 polys
