Multirole VTOL Jet (Kestrel)

32.9k SPairforce  4.1 years ago

In the fictional universe in which my aircraft are a part of, this plane was the predecessor to the Hornet and Dragon aircraft as both were designed to replace the kestrel due to it being a mediocre dog fighter and strike aircraft.

    @SPairforce also you can try and improve your landing gear using finetuner to nudge the spring into the fuselage.

    @SPairforce its straight. If you look at other builds, the cockpit is made of more parts as it makes the shape of it smother when the smoothing is on. Look at it on the side and you'll see what I'm saying.

    Agh, I’m not entirely sure how to improve my cockpits, like at all, what do you suggest as I already set the fuselage smoothing to on.

    This is really cool but I would suggest that you work on the cockpits. It's a bit rigid and not very smooth. It would benefit the looks exponentially.

    Just so you know, Hornet refers to my most recent VTOL fighter and Dragon is for my Marine Corps Ground Attack Aircraft.
