After not working on this for awhile I picked it back up to finish. I have fixed the dip on the side of the fuselage and added the cockpit glass and started the interiors.

It is funny how not seeing this for a while that I look at it and wonder what I was thinking when I did certain things. I have learned since starting this not to collapse my modifier stack so soon............:lol:

I am going to change the rudder and adjust the outside floats as they look to skinny.

Someone posted a pilot on the old forums. I dont know who did that but I was going to rig him so I can change his sitting position. If I can figure out how to export him when he is rigged I will post him back up so other people can use him also.

Any comments or critics are appreciated:)

Good to see you're back on it Popeye. Yep, it looks much improved from the last time you worked on it.

The only obvious thing I can see is that your fin looks a little thick on top.

I'd like to see a wireframe of your floats. They've come out well.

nice to se you back on this. I think your engine cowling is a little small copared to the rest of your fuselage. Keep it up:D

Hmm, you're probably right about that. It's close but if I look at the lower siloette in this pic (http://www.usspringle.org/Kingfisher2.htm) it's wider and straighter a line.

The fin. The top it looks a bit chunky. Usually they taper from thicker at the base to thinner at the tip.
