Description


I'm putting this up again on the suggestion of cryptojoe, hope it's okay... (The large image is a composite I did, with the smaller photo being the original reference of a real plane. I airbrushed out the plane from the original and put mine in with an old photo feel... )

The fuselage has wrong shape, Im afraid. The very front part of it is too smooth, it should get thicker just behind the propeller (the reason was that the Czech engineers had to change the engine to a bigger one and thus the front part of the fuselage was broader than Germans designed). The second problem is the top part of the fuselage behind the cockpit-it was straight, the line was not bent. The fuselage was a metal tube with as simple shape as Germans could design, to reduce the work load during manufacturing. I think it would be best to use some plans, even downloaded from the Internet. For most parts, you can use the drawings of Bf 109 if you cant get them for Avia.

Thank u for ur comments and for taking the time to look. :) Actually I did use blueprints for this, complete with cross sections, and also various pictures besides this one pic show here. But I am sure it isn't perfect. There were places where the various pictures I had seemed to show different things than the blueprints and I sorta had to wing it. Of course certain things could have been optical illusions, or results of a damaged or worn plane... Who knows? So even though I'm sure it's far from perfect, since it was my first model of any kind of vehicle, I still felt proud enough of it to humbly post it here. :D And I know the compositing here is not anything that involved or that detailed, I kinda rushed it, but I think it helps give the feel of an old photograph...

Oh, btw, I am aware that the angle my plane is in, and some of the paint job, is different from the reference photo. I wanted this slightly different angle. If I had time I'd try various realistic paint jobs on my plane...

Hi there sh! I don't know anything about Maya or fuselage, but from my eye's view, I would say that you captured it damned good! Hell of a job! :-)
