Boy...this is easy once you get the hang of it.....

in truespace apply a solid color to the parts you are going to map with same detail in the texture (example: black for cockpit, green for guns, yellow for wings and so long)
it will be far easyer to select em in lithunwrap

It you create your model with this tip in mind you make life a lot easier for yourself in the long run. As a backup plan you can always select faces using the Lithium Unwrap preview window. Use S to toggle rotate view and select modes. The fighter looks great by the way. The design works for me. Then again it looks like a Colonial Viper so it probably would work for me

How does it look like a Viper? Besides the wings, of course and perhaps the front of the nose.

And the engines. And the cockpit. And the guns. You are correct though. Aside from the nose, wings, cockpit, engines, and guns it looks nothing like a Viper.

No, the cockpit's not 'big' enough for a Viper. The guns are too big and too long. Engines are also unlike a Viper.
