Hello,

Recently I started creating a model of the Airbus A320 aircraft. The hard part is mainly the front end, where the cockpit is. How do you advise me to model this? I have the main shape, but putting the windows in I find very difficult.

You can find info and many high quality pictures on this site:

I'll post some screenshots later.

Thanks!

you could try putting in the windows surfaces(no splitting) then play with control points to adjust your surrounding surfaces to meet them.but its difficult for me to tell without pictures of your wireframe.

This is the screenshot. I cut out a part of the nose, modeled the windows and now my intention is to get the remaining surfaces in.

Airbus Fan aren't you? I am a Boeing Fan myself :) (My favorite B757). Anyway, it'd be best to create a surface first, the "head" (One in between nose and body) then do a spilt/trim. Make surw the surface direction is outward rather than inward. Use a curve that you make cockpit window w as a cutting tool. Hope that helps.
