<img src=http://poserforum.net/Grey/se5a001.jpg> Thought I'd post this here since y'all were so helpful in finding the plans. The drawings are a bit difficult to work with, since the scans are so low resolution, so I have to wing it in many respects. The shapes you see here are preliminary for the purpose of getting angles and sizes correct before I dive deep into re-creating canvas streatched over framework.

The wings should now be pretty close to the actuall SE5a wings.

I'm hoping for a little comment here from those of you with trained eyes as I'm going for the most accurate model I can... Already noted the exaust pipe thread below...

Any other input is quite valuable, thank you

Things look good as far as I can tell. Is the bottom of the plane really that flat?

BTW, what software are you using?

Keep up the good work,

-Drew

Probably not, but I'm not sure yet.

I'm not even sure I have the angles set up quite properly. Even made some mistakes on the wings which must be corrected before I can continue.

I'm using Rhino to make the model
