Nalp. But I'll be happy to fill you in when I do.  :D

Updates without pictures, according to 4chan, are not very good updates.

However, I have been working at getting detail drawings closer to reality - this time it's the forward fuselage. I've got the lateral proportions mostly intact, but as this is a vessel which travels in 3D space, I still have a ways to go.

That said, determined dimensions are as follows:

Length - 14.5 meters. This is the same figure as for the original Kulas.

Height (without wing height or stab height) - 2.6 meters (give or take - this is still a little fuzzy). This is an average of heights of the max and min fusalage heights, which ranged from just under 2.8 and 2.4 meters. It'll look good when it's done, rest assured!  :D

Width - TBD. It will likely be similar to that of the current width of the fighter, which is just a little more than the length.

That said, the plan as follows is to get accurate orthos of the forward fuselage for modeling. I tend to mesh drawings with what I can do with the actual model - this tends to yield good results. The guns and the still less-than-impressive engine vector assembly are products of this process.

You should have pictures in March.  :nervous:

Updates without pictures are still better than no updates I think. Thanks.

But what is "stab height"?

As for the size, just make sure it fits through a Titans hanger gate. :lol:

"Stab" is aero enginerd terminology for "stabalizer," whether it's horizontal or vertical. The Kulas of course has a vertical stabalizer on the bottom of the fuselage. This will be a simple part to make by default, but I still need a design for it!  :p
