Hello to all,
I am new to this great world of FS development and have now entered into a great learning curve. I have watched this forum with great awe at what you guys bring to the FS world. I've been trying various experiments / programs to see which level to start and now have got into things in a more semi-dedicated and semi-serious manner, though still very amateur.
This project which I am introducing today is my first serious aircraft development (actually its my first ever development) of what in my mind is one of the great twin props in military service, The Hawkeye, its history is famous along with it having a long and continuing service record including current deliveries.
These are very early WIP's of the exterior base models, though I now feel confident enough for others to see the current progress. For sure there will be many tweaks over the coming months or even longer to improve shaping, detailing etc. There is not and will not be for some foreseeable future any mention of release dates. I haven't even thought about VC's and the world of panels, that I will leave until I am satisfied with the exterior base models.
So here we have one of each model posed in an in sim screenshot / static form.
E-2B Hawkeye Base Model...
E-2C Hawkeye - 4 blade variant base model...
E-2C Hawkeye - 8 blade variant base model...
E-2D Hawkeye base model...
At this time I am satisfied with most of the modelling of the rear end, principally the horizontal and vertical stabilizers, rudders etc. I am also satisfied with the rotor-dome, its mountings, the engine cowlings and props, antennas, including HF wire antenna, front end including nose shapes, cockpit windows etc. though some future tweaking on all these will ensue.
All other stuff is WIP basic level and will be next for improvement.
I will be posting progress with better detail shots as and when confident to release them.
So there you have it, I am open to all comments and suggestions, and for sure will be seeking help in these forums. All the Best for now.
