Cheers Phil!
Unfortunately, I couldn't find one of the pieces - if it's anything like the real stuff it's probably rattling around the hoover .
I had to use part of the tail from the Space Shuttle

Hi hansony
Welcome to the GE community! That's a very impressive model you've built.
Quote:

Difficult to answer because it depends on the animation, but basically what I do is:
- Create the model(s) using SketchUp.
- Export the different parts of the model/animation *separately* from SketchUp as KMZ files.
- Extract the Collada (dae) models from these KMZ files using ZIP software.
- Then write some KML to put everything together and do the animating. For this I just use a basic text editor (Wordpad or Notepad), or for more complicated animations like my Ferris wheel, a Spreadsheet too.
So, if you don't already, you'll need some knowledge of how KML works:
http://earth.google.com/kml/index.html
... Particularly Collada model referencing from KML:
http://earth.google.com/kml/kml_21tutorial.html#models
...and the TimeSpan tag:
http://earth.google.com/kml/kml_tags_21.html#timespan
IMO the best way to see how KML works is by downloading kmz files from the community, unzipping them and opening up the 'doc.kml' file in a text editor.
If you do that for the Airplane you'll see that the KML contains 35 placemarks, each with different <TimeSpan> <begin> dates and each linking to a separate Collada model 'brick'.
