Thought I'd post a ViaCAD rendered model. I was just trying to see what could be done without surface trimming tool

Very nice ED, thanks for posting! Is this all surfaces (no solids)?

Without the trim surface tool your used to, you are limited to imprinting curves on surfaces and exploding or stitching everything into solids and then using booleans.

Tim,
It's a solid. I broke off the glass so I could make them transparent. I used surfaces to trim solids, or to make stitched solids to join to other solids. It is amazing what can be done if you carefully plot out your design course.

FYI. For those not framiliar with the plane, it was designed for bomber support. It's wings folded and it was to be carried on a telescoping support in the belly of a B-36. Hence it's pudgy demeanor. Launches went well, recovery didn't

Yes, and it must have been a mad feeling to sit inside a reactor...
