Van's RV-8
I have been intrigued by homebuilt aircraft since I built the Zodiac. Next up, we'll do the Van's RV8, by request. Noah, let me know what specs you'd like. Otherwise, it's dealer's choice. (It could be, anyway.) It'll be a while before I can get it started.

Here's a start on the RV-8. This is modeled after an 80" build thread that I found. I used a separate cylinder to provide points for vertex locations of the main cowl.

Looking good. I just remembered a painting I saw of this plane, painted like an
ME-109, flying in formation with three different variants of ME-109s.
All were portraid in a ghostly blue hue.

Funny how that is, but I always find that to be the case too. Same with the left half of a complex fuselage.
