Wow and you said that is just your first model created with MoI?

Off to a great start! :)

Mike, thanks for responding and thanks for the link. I'll try it out.

The Germans had a bunch of wild designs in the works when the war ended. The advent of jet engines opened up a lot of possibilities as far as design went. They weren't constrained to putting a propeller on the nose of the plane. Check out the 3D models at Luft46. http://www.luft46.com/luftart.html I've started on a Horten 229 flying wing. That plane was decades ahead of its time.

As for being my first model, I do have some experience modeling in Rhino, so that helped.

Thanks, Mike. It looks like that OBJ utility worked.

some of them are really "obscure"... aka "everyone, except the bumblebee itself, knows that a bumblebee can't fly"

added to the special thread Gallery :)

Great model!

Thanks for the Luftwaffe concept planes link, very interesting.
Certain models appears to come straight out of the thunderbirds tv series. :)

Amongst others, I really liked this Messerschmitt Me P.1079 13b render:

Have you tried the Il-2 sturmovik simulator series?
Very good stuff...
