Title: New fighter for NTEOP. The first Chinese one ever! (WIP)
Post by: Unknown Target on August 14, 2004, 07:51:03 pm
Here we go! Which one it is is still undecided, but I thought I'd preview it to everyone. :) I'm having trouble with where I should go from here. Suggestions?

Give it a tail. It looks underdetailed at the back.

Agreed, needs a tail or an engine in the back.

Maybe just some fins, the length is good.

I think something is missing in the marked spot.

Simple and nice mesh.

Update.

The big pod underneath is the missile pod.

Even much better. It is rather an atmospherical-like now.

Great improvment (to an already good model). ;7

I think it looked better tailless.

The last generation of fighters experiment with the same.

Instead a conventional tail, you could experiment with lenghtening the wings, or giving it a sparrow tail - it points downward in a V shape.

The reason I argue for that design is that the original had a nice downward slope that allowed the whole shape to flow.

BTW - good work so far.

Thanks for the comments all :) Although I'm partial to the tail fins already, so I think I'm gonna keep 'em :)
