I've had the rear done for a while but as soon as I finished it I knew it wasn't right.
It's of course based on the previously made front view and side view and I don't think this is the right proportions of the engine to the ship and of course I based these drawings off of David's plans for the other views.

Red is a trace Drawing from a photo
Green is David Schmidt's
You can a difference in the profile of the engines. The body is a bit more angular

I then did a photomatch from a separate picture (than the ones you see above) in sketchup and made this version of the nacelles which look really good but aren't perfect.
For instance the angle seems slightly off as well as the shape. Nor does it perfectly fit the look from both front and back.
At this point I'm just using sketchup to visualize what I'm doing in 2D in 3D to see if at least the proportions are right which I think right now says they aren't.
I may go back to sketchup again with a big all or nothing view by view attempt at the ship since I know the top view is down right.
I may be looking to do a photomatch upwards of 5 different photos in the same drawing just to pin down these problems.
I really expected to much closer to done by this point because of David Schmidt's plans but if I'm going to be accurate I have to be sure.
