Mixtec, the program I used was XaraX1. It’s a 2D program. This was the first aircraft I’ve done with a vector drawing program. Usually I use a bitmap paint program. I used a photo model to get the general outline of this aircraft, as I was interested in spending the time learning the program. Just like brush and canvas artists aviation model outlines are often used for accuracy and time saving. Once you’ve sketched the shape all the colours, shading, markings and rounding out are done by hand just like with a paint brush. It takes me about 35 hours to create one aircraft on a simple background. Here’s the nose of the aircraft with a few layers pulled apart for a better look. Thanks for your comments.
