Make a guess

[niebieski]

just by looking at it's stabilizer

I've been dreaming for years some developer would recreate this very unique plane in simulation world.

Sadly, there's seems to be zero percent chance for it to happen.

For the last couple of days i've been learning PlaneMaker, Blender (and 3d modelling in general, never done this before), reading OBJ specs, XP plug-in API etc.

I would love to sit in it's amazing 3d cockpit with at least half of it's systems simulated. I doubt i will ever get it to this point, but well ...

... at least i can dream, right?

Nimrod

[niebieski]

Nope, Nimrod has low horizontal stab

[Nicola_M]

ok, i think it's either going to be a Vulcan or Victor.

[niebieski]

No, sorry

[philipp]

Vickers VC-10 ?

[GrahamH]

Yes ^^^ Same guess.

[niebieski]

Sorry guys, it's not VC-10

[namaui]

Then it must be the VC-10's big Russian brother, the IL-62.

[niebieski]

Congratulations, namaui!

Here's the 53 meters long beast being born piece by piece at "Blender noob" manufacturing plant:

For those of you unfamiliar with Ilyushin Il-62, i highly recommend taking a look at Cubana World Air Routes DVD teaser on YT:

Five cockpit members, 18 (eighteen!) windows, hundreds of instruments to look after and specific eastern mentality that goes with operating this plane. Why would you need anything else?

Looks good so far! Good luck, looks like a real tough project.

[niebieski]

Thanks!

Think it looks better with wings, no control surfaces yet:

[Hampster]

I already want this plane! Wow!

[Orcair]

What a classic! The plane looks great niebieski!

[Ryan M.]

Awesome!

Man, I'll need at least 25 keys programmed into the XP10 "3D quicklook" now!

Good Work tho!
