Yay I decided to give a modelling a try :D It had to learn everything though hence it took me almost an entire week to do the geometry of my first model, but here it is: a B-25 Mitchell medium bomber.

Still needs a gun turret, gear and bomb hatch but it's starting to look like it I think :)

Pretty good! :)

I've got a book on US WWII airplanes, there are some pictures of B-25s, can scan and post them if they'd help you skin it. 8-)

at first, before i9 saw the jet engines, i thought it looked like a liberator (or is it and you havent got props?)

They're piston engines without props :wink:

A liberator is a B-24 and has 4 engines.

ok.. the only difference between the two, i think, are the enignes.. both look the same otherwise

You just could not be content with beeing an exelent scriter, could you? Noooo... you had to start UV-slaving and pixel pushing as well ;)
