Blowhard, Thankyou, yes it's a cylinder for sure!
I get what you are saying I got the shading right in the gun barrel but the body is not quiet right, see what you are saying. Maybe a few gentle and subtle dents in the metal areas(cowling) would be a idea. This is a commanders plane and in the VVS, it was Siberia time if the commanders plane was not kept in pristine condition, even in combat situations, this plane is preware, so I am sure it truly was nearly spotless. But shading wise I couldn't agree more! it's just figureing out a way that works best. But yes I actually copied the one pipe image to my desktop because it has some interesting higlights.
Not sure how to create that sunglare...sure there's a tutorial somwhere on here....
I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and give advice, I know you're a very busy fellow.
Cheers
Das kEEd!
