Asymmetric Plane

[CaptainSpaulding]

Is it possible to do an asymmetric plane in XP?


By asymmetric I mean the fuselage, as in this Dieselpunk painting:

Or asymmetric wings, as in the Rutan Boomerang:


..or the Blohm & Voss BV-141:


...or BV-111:

Maybe. You can build the symmetric part as normal, and add a misc body, or engine nacelle.

Yes, this is definitively a way to go...
But what about asymmetrical fuselage?

I don't think that there is a way to do that... 
Infact, a part some artistic painting, I don't even think that a planes with asymmetrical fuselage really exists...

Thanks for you suggestion.

I don't see how this could work. And I'm talking only from pilot's perspective, when half of field of view is blocked.

Infact it doesn't work at all. It's just a crazy thing in the real world.

In dieselpunk terms, it's just a crossover between train and plane. Which is, somehow, cool to see.
From my point of view, it's just a speculative curiosity...
I don't really have any intention of making a plane of that kind.
It's just for fun.

Yeah, you can't model an asymmetric fuselage in PM.  But you can get "close enough" then model whatever you want in the OBJ.  Asymmetric wings could be done with misc. wings easily enough though.

I was going to give the Boomerang a go myself, until I heard VSkyLabs is already on it.
