Hello Kurt.

I'm making my own spitfire and i have one question.
How did you model the exhaust pipes in the front of the airplane?

I'm using the same technique as you usally do(poly ---> subD) and have practicly modelled the whole plane but i'm not sure of how to model the exhaustsystem.

regards!

Ok

But were they attached to the plane itself or where they just "combined" with it?
