WIP: Boulton-Paul Defiant

Just started modelling a Boulton-Paul Defiant, a WW2 RAF fighter. It took part in the Battle of Britain, but was quickly withdrawn due to heavy losses. The reason was that it was too slow to compete with the BF109 fighters, and relied on a rear-facing gun turret for defence.

This model will be used in a short I am currently writing.

I am following Kurt's Spitfire tutorial, and the screenshot shows the progress at the end of the second video.
I have not yet decided if I am going to do the model completely in Maya, or if I am going to convert it into polys, and then take it into Modo, as I prefer the way Modo works for modelling, and I can also work at it on my Mac when I can't be bothered to wait for the PC to boot up.

Any c&c welcome.

MODS: Would I still be able to post WIPs here if I use Modo for the modelling, because, strictly speaking, it is not Maya, but it is following Kurt's videos, and the first part was actually done in Maya.
