Thanks guys.
I used to think that modelling the outer skin and the structure of aircraft would be same in the category of CGI but now understand they are different. The former should be more dynamic in rendering than the latter because they are more bird than machine.

My latest working table.
Modelling a machine

 
There's quite a story to this one, but i'll shorten it if I can, It depicts in 1939, a 204 Sqn Sunderland after it had been forced to ditch in a rough sea, after a double engine failure, on contact with the sea, the port 'wing float' was torn off, some of the crew scrambled out on the stb wing to prevent it capsizing, Luckily a Dutch freighter had seen the flying boat come down and went to the rescue, a line was secured to a prop, it took off all the Sunderland's crew, which were later transferred to a destroyer, HMS Icarus, as soon as the line was released the flying boat turned over and sank. Phew. . . it's oil on canvas. Facebook

Any idea who did the Typhoon art? Really like that style.
