Thanks guys, er, loyal subjects

But please, when I start using the royal We, shoot me!

Yep, I'll never hear the end of this one

Grubby, I'm leaning towards adjustments of this kind too. I think I need to reshade the bomb. It's a very light gray in reality, lighter than the tan undersides, so I don't think I can go darker. But the top-lit comment gives me an idea that I'll have to try. I've got the clever (maybe too clever for me) reflected light going. That means you've got to have reflected shadows too. Perhaps the bomb should be more of a side lighting? I'll try that. I still want to decrease the reflected light on the lower edge of the tank too.

Interesting about the drop tank, they were made of either laminated wood or strips of bamboo. Perhaps weirder than the US cardboard tanks?
