Verville-Packard R-1 Raceplane (WIP)
Hey everyone, I’ve been working on this for a few days and I’m excited to get it into Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. The Verville-Packard R-1 was the winner of the 1920 Pulitzer Prize, the precursor to the National Air Races. -
Re: Verville-Packard R-1 Raceplane (WIP)
Very neat! I like the forms you modeled. The materials on the fuselage and wings have a good base but do need more interest. Normally I would say to add some dirt or paint peeling off to add more detail but if this is going into Microsoft Flight simulator then maybe it's better to keep it fairly clean. You could try adding… -

Ahh I see. Damn you've really done your research. -
Re: Verville-Packard R-1 Raceplane (WIP)
I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed the forms! :) Regarding the suggestion I'm afraid it can't be implemented here. This aircraft's fuselage was constructed of wooden framework with 4 layers of molded (wooden) veneer over top. It's literally just a painted smooth, mostly uniform shell of wood, glue & nails. I looked up… -

Started working on this again, looking for some feedback with the materials. Only really worked on the wings and the blue part of the fuselage so far, but in general the biggest challenge are the broad swaths of undetailed fuselage (painted wooden laminate): 3D Viewer: https://p3d.in/FCOw0 Looking for crit! -
Re: Verville-Packard R-1 Raceplane (WIP)
Took about 3-4 hours tonight and built the cowling. Just a few details left, like the additional air intakes on the front and the little clips that hold the cowling onto the rest of the fuselage. Then it's onto the wings, fuselage and finally cockpit. Gonna try to do some UVing next though just to make my life easier… -

The reference for the tailplane above is below; the clearest image of the empennage' remains after the crash of the first prototype. I've noticed some key differences between this aircraft and the one that won the first Pulitzer's Cup in the 1920s. Below is an image of the remains of the first precursor aircraft prior to… -

What do you guys think - good enough for $10? I'm going back to front with the modeling.
