Details

This is one of the most complex models I've built. The complex wing parts (slats, Krueger flaps, spoilers, ailerons, and triple-slotted Fowler flaps, are all included. To save you the trouble of rigging these things, (which might not transfer from one file format to another) I've included separate folders with those parts "up" and "down", so you can simply turn them on and off, for the effect you like. The human figures shown in these renderings, for scale, are not included.

This model has all the window and door openings, moveable doors and control surfaces, (including trim tabs) scale retracting landing gear and doors. The cockpit has a moderately-detailed interior, ready for image mapping.
