another aim-54 and fim-92 stinger


Recommended Posts

Problem is that it isn't easy to find accurate FIM-92 schematic pictures / Profile photo's on the web :| I looked for some myself, didn't find much.

 

The lack of such information makes it difficult to get the proportions right.

Your reference photo for the Phoenix is of a dummy missile. Notice the blue bands. In combat, the blue bands are replaced by red and orange ones that indicates a live missile. You may want to find a photo of such for reference.

 

And it seems you could've modelled the back of the Stinger a bit better. The placement of the fins is off - notice in your reference photo that it attaches to a grey area that is straight (i.e. no longer curving inward), rather than in your model, which is attached to the area curving inward.

In the meanwhile it seems the Hellfire schematic picture in the hellfire thread is not accurate lol. It's not easy to model it right when the references aren't good :|

 

Walmis, the stinger looks better now. :)

I agree with D-scythe about the rear fins though.

 

Some interesting close-ups of AIM-54 (dummy)

(could be interesting for texture details)
