IL-28 Cutaway

[Mangrove]

I'm feeling to be the last man standing in the 2D-part of this forum so I decided to do something for the matter. :rolleyes:

Naah, just kidding. I found unusually good plans with +15 cross-sections and all wing spars from the aircraft.

All work is done in Illustrator.

Isometric I take it? Looks pretty good, but there are a bunch of places where the width of the pieces doesn't look right all the way around. What method are you using to transform the cross section into the isometric projection? Assuming the blueprint tracing is accurate, the Free Transform tool should drop it right in there using some construction lines. For example, my old 109 WIP is in 2-pt perspective, but the idea is the same. Disregarding the inaccuracy of the cross sections themselves, you can see that they are accurately placed.

And, because I was bored, here's a little draw-over to show you what I mean.

I used Illustrator's automatic 3D-rotate function.

Wing(s) ready.

Nice start. Not many 2diers here. Good to see something a little different.

This is great. Keep up the good work. Something a bit different. Very cool!

Is this aircraft located anywhere in the US? If you find one located in the US, I might be able to 3D scan while enroute to museums.
