You are missing the rear portion of the planning hull, right now there is nothing behind the step, that doesn't bode well on landing...

Tried making a head on shot, but it looks really crappy IMO. Whatever, I will post it:

You said that you were basing the aircraft off of the photo of the Model HK-1 on the previous page. The fuselages on that look to be about a 1 to 1.5/1 to 2 ratio between width and height of fuselage. I'd try making it narrower.
Also, the wing thickness look to be too thick compared to the span of the wing.

Yeah so I stopped trying to make a catamaran front view. Got too frustrating and odd looking. So on to other things! Still a big work in progress, need to reconstruct some parts. This is not a seaplane.

For those that are wondering what that assembly in the back is:

Looks good. My main critque is that where the shadow of the wing and the curve of the fuselage meet should be a darker shade (light blue in the RGB rather than green).

Some little changes like you said, I think I did it right. Also made the wing stick out more.

Here is another little project for a large helicopter. I decided to let it go, as it wasn't really what I set out to make. I like the look of the Piasecki H-21, but I wanted to produce something more 'commercial' and ended up with something that is way too large. The project is called "65 decibel helicopter", as I intend to make it a commercial, urban helicopter.

My small, commercial helicopter for use in major cities. Sacrifices lift capacity and engine power by having a sound of only 70 decibels.

I felt this wasn't owed its own thread, but I have started developing a parts sheet for my AU nation, Vayiir. This is for a roughly WW2 equivalent period in my world.
