Wings and Canopy

Blocked in the canopy and the wings.

Wire frame unsmoothed and the 3-key smoothed. I wish there was a way to render the display view contours (i.e., the unsmoothed edges on the smoothed surface when you press the 3-key).

I built the canopy using a cv curve network and a combination of boundary and bi-rail surfaces.

Added some detail bits ... (hook, tail light, wing blisters, guns)

Now I have to start cutting things up ...

1. canopy frame and glass
2. gear doors, hatches
3. gear asm and wheels
4. cockpit

NOTE: The tail hook is incorrect. I am not sure what the thing in the bottom is but it was the only thing I could get a clear image of and assumed it was the tail hook. I still cannot find any reference material of the actual arrester hook asm.
