Today on "Wings"... I loved that show. Anyhow, who, way... I'm off work (Nothing to deliver), so it's into the crafty room and start on me WINGS!
A touch of clarification. I'm adjusting (Scratch Bashing) my White Bird into a Short Skyvan in a touch of a basic way.
1. I'm making the wings 1 inch longer, due to Squaring the fuselage. (7 X 7 instead of 5 X 7).
2. The underside will match the top in length to start.
3. 5 gallon longer paint sticks inside the spars running out past the nacelles.
4. The wing tips will be cut at a 45-50 degree angle then later papered over for a Horner wing tip. (It's either that or adding a drag reducing winglet.)
Then,
5. Fuselage squared, no side tapers towards the tail.
6. Moving the base of the cargo door back to just under the back of the wing, or a smidgen more.
7. Stepped tail area near the design of the C-130 Herc, only single door, drop down.
8. Extended the Wheel Pants/Skirts to cover wide 2.75" main gear, set in dual axle configuration.
9. Some internal doublets at the wing mount area, tail, and floor.
10. Installing main gear first to measure height to set nose gear at correct height.
11. Nose gear box... That is a whole other show.
