The underlying thing in this thread has been the need to use NURBS properly to get the result.
Trying to model polymodel style with NURBS just wont work. There has to be A change in technique and approach. If a polymodeler wants to use NURBS they have to LEARN!

It's not a NURBS problem. The REAL airplane would be modeled in NURBS by a skilled NURBS modeler and would take a sufficient amount of time. You cant just start "throwing curves around" and wonder why it doesnt work, then make statements about the problem with NURBS. It's not fair to the others who view this forum or are experienced enough to actually model an airplane with a NURBS modeler.

With some time invested one could become skilled enough to model an "AIRPLANE", but lets be realistic.
