Main body

 

The main body of the B5N is long and slender, perfect for manouvering. The nose however is more bulbous. in order to create this, I made the body in two parts, the main body, and the nose.

 I started with the nose, I created a cylinder as it is the closest shape to that of the aircraft body. In the Modify tab I went for an Editable mesh and selected the vertex selection. I used this to mould the nose into the desired shape using the blueprints.

 



When I felt happy with the nose; I moved onto the main body. I again used a cylinder as a base point. I also used the same technique as I did with the nose, editable mesh and vertex selection. I made sure that I aligned the body with each blueprint to ensure that everythin all lined up and was the correct size. I then used the attach tool to join the nose and the main body together:
