Creosotewind | Scratch Built Grumman F9F Panther | Parked | 29-May-09 17:55 | | Views : 1044 | A screen capture during the development process. Adobe Illustrator is not a CAD program. It only works in 2-D. The colors are only used to help me keep track of the various sections: wings, fuselage, cockpit, etc. I think on my next kit, I'll try a 3-D program. That may help with some of the figuring and head scratching I went through this time. |
