@WG okay, sorry to hear that you went through all those hardships, and thanks to be ready to assist me, thanks!

Hi, my name is WINGS AVIATION, so I started like this. You can see my first planes, but honestly, I went through a lot of hardships and almost had my account deleted.

Anyway, feel free to ask me for help; I'll be happy to assist you.

@jamesPLANESii okay 👍

@TheBoeingPerson Because of the thickness of the walls on real life planes

@ComradeBazookaBall 👍

@winterro damn, it works good for breaking your fingers.

@jamesPLANESii why make the walls thinner?

Hello there, Im at robotics right now, as i send this, so uhh hello. :)

@StockPlanesRemastered you mean XML editor and nudge?
And then the blueprint button?

@SimplyElegant yeah that's just a mod that as i said opens in game xml and blueprints. It's also built in to the base game, making those blueprints in that website hotlinked in your bio usable. Your point?

@StockPlanesRemastered “Designer suit mod?”

@SimplyElegant the hell dude? At what point did I even mention mods other than the blueprint mod?And also fuselage smoothing should be the last step because it makes things much easier to see.

@StockPlanesRemastered No mods are needed.
All you do is use the Smooth front / back.

@jamesPLANESii come to think of it we need to put together a guide on building replicas and good looking aircraft in general

@StockPlanesRemastered 100% this. The only thing I'd suggest is make your walls even thinner. 0.125 is still 12.5 cm thick or almost 5 inches. I usually start off with about 0.0625 or 0.05 or even thinner depending on what kind of plane I'm building. It's also handy to keep the size of things to fractions of 1 metre as it makes nudging and lining things up much easier, although you'll need to get good at memorizing your 1/64th times table lol

@TheBoeingPerson Yes! And then what i like to do is if i find a section of pieces that has a smooth transition, like lets say a section of pieces in between two bulkheads, I'll replace that section with one single piece. that way i can cut the part count. typically this will happen in between the cockpit and nose and the cockpit and tail on a single engine fighter. For instance my North American A-27 Texan I'm working on right now.

I've also been doing this for ten years and i just figured this out btw

@AvocadoSeams no

Examine the other planes here.
That's how I got better.

Its called reposting/stealing other skilled users' planes and spamming detatchers in them.

@MonsNotTheMonster ohhhh that’s a good idea, thanks!

Take your time on making it. And get a lot of reference photos, and a good quality blueprint.

Also a ton of trial and error

@Hiimakeplanes ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, I see

Look at the front and top part of this

Usually very thin ones

@TheBoeingPerson make shapes out of separate fuselage parts
