RE: Let's Talk About the Covering Sequence
Some days it takes 3 cups of coffee. 8 oz cups? Nope, 16 oz. cups! Em, how about a coffee "40"?
I'm liking the 3rd iteration. Combines the 1st with the rear flipup of the 2nd. Just not keen on the forward fin treatment of 2nd.
In the 4th the top of the fuse side trim lines have been softened to better match / transition into the curve of the trim on the fin's forward section. As a result, the side trim wrap around to the fuse top moved forward so the top has been modified and republished.
Just keep tweakin' - 5th side turns the rudder trim trailing edge down (like the 1st) ...
6th side: For grins Ioverlayed a big oval over the fuse & fin that closely matched the curve on the bottom of the fin / rudder white / yellow boundary. The fuse and fin trim were then adjusted to match the oval's curve. The oval was proportionally expanded to each side of blue then red trim.
I can see the potential of using several ovals, varying in size and proportion (from pure circle to a highly skewed oval) and overlaying them over the fuse, wings and tail. The biggest challenge would be to cut the templates. But wait, I just bought a printer that can print images up to 44 inches long. Emmmmmm ....
For the moment Ilike the bottom &top asis with 5th side view ...
