Beech Super King Air

Hy Guys.

The civilian theme continues. Here's the first peek at my latest profile. I'm doing this for a flying school client.

Looking at this I'm thinking the fuselage probably shouldn't be tapered through the cabin section. I'll check my refs.

Grub,

You have it right. Looking forward to your masterful work on this one!

[GrubbyFingers]

Nice work, Joe! Hopefully mine will look half as good as that! I'm glad someone else here has done one too. It's always fascinating seeing another technique.


"Look mom, it's one of them thar Ekranoplans!"

I've stuck some more bits on.

Looking great, Grub!

The King Air is unusual in that it has no sweep on the inner wing from the nacelle to the fuselage side, giving a challenge to profile the rear of the wing as it approaches the wing-fuselage fillet. This photo shows that pretty well, even with real-world perspective. Hope it helps.

Keep it coming!

I will be here learning a lot.
Cheers,

Learning is the name of this game, Marcos. There's not much chance of any of us developing dementia, we are constantly straining our brains!

Thanks for the pic, Vac. It's a good one. This is where the inner wing is so far. I'm not at all happy with it yet, but it is a start. It looks like it's been folded up out of cardboard.

Fantastic start! You really have a style of your own.

I agree with gamary bravo Grubby

Grub, beautiful line/form work!

Is this a WIP, or does that discontinuity between the upper and lower nacelle back ends really exist on the airplane you're doing? Can't believe Beech would make a draggy installation like that.

You're teaching me a lot--looking forward to coming lessons.
