3D model goofs

Just a few things that need to be changed.

B-17 engine nacels are too large in comparison to the wings.

Bf-109 G-10 R6 kit is mounted in the wrong place. The R6 was mounted just outside the propeller arc in the first 1/3rd of the wing.
Also the rudder had the same front cut as the elevator. It also didn't seperate from the vertical fin when it was pushed to full deflection. And the elevators don't have full deflection modeled. They could be positioned up to a 45º angle from level, currently they are around 30º if that.

Fw-190 had a small cooling fan behind the propeller that spun in the opposite direction. Various films of this can be seen in the old "Wings of the Luftwaffe" series that ran on the Discovery Channel.

C.205 supercharger intake was the same tropical intake fitted to the Bf-109 F4, the current intake looks like a toilet paper tube. Also the radiator under the fuselage is too small. It needs to be a tad longer and just a hair wider.

Spitfire has no moving control surfaces when you use the F3 view. They only show up when you look outside the cockpit, and even then they are paper thin.

All of this is minor stuff, just a few quick fixes and you'll be all set. I know I listed more goofs with the Bf-109, that's because I have several books and posters of the Bf-109.
Once this stuff gets fixed we can have some real fun. After all, most of this looks like it was just minor over-sights or time savers.

Don't take any offense, but I thought I was having fun!
