Wow, this will be a must for me. Looking forward to it also. Another great gift from UKMIL
 
no VC at present, I always do the externals first. As a one man team, I cannot do the VC till later

I think the intake on the tail is a little too large, and the incorrect shape?

You appear to have modeled the wings straight. They aren't on a Eurofighter. They have compound curves at both ends of the chord along the edges, an inverse camber at the fuselage and the whole wing twists along its length. The leading edge slats follow these compound curves as do the elevons at the rear. The second shot from RAS shows the curves nicely.
 
Exciting!

It may only be the way the screenshots show it, but I'd double-check the width of the nosewheel tires (tyres to you UK folks!). They seem a bit wide. The main look to be a bit wider than they should - but am less sure - again, just what I can glean from screenshots.

This shot shows off the wheel details well. Also, note how the mainwheel struts angle - they're not 90 deg to wing ...

... Also shows RAS and Baz's point about the compound wing surface ....

Finally, the blades/vanes under the nose are way large ...

Keep at it - great effort thus far ....

I have the luxury of unlimited access to the aircraft, so I will measure the tyres at work and see.:salute:
 
"Unlimited access to the aircraft." How cool is that. An FSX aircraft designer's dream. Thanks for the updates and keep'em coming. :jump:
