Re: Hellloooo Corsair

Overall it looks very good, I would how ever extend the shadows up a bit and let the highlights come down a bit more to make the fuselage look a bit rounder

What Supah said, especially on the cowling.

Also,the direction of the shadow on the antenna mast doesn't look like it matches the shadows on the tail.

Re: Hellloooo Corsair

There is something about the shadow on the upper side of the inner wing which looks wrong, the angle of the crank would mean that the fuselage would either cast a pretty complete shadow on it or it would be exposed.

Re: Hellloooo Corsair

I agree about the antenna mast shadow. In addition, the antenna mast was located on the starboard side of the fuselage, I believe.

Keep us posted.

Re: Hellloooo Corsair

guys,
I'll check out the antenna side soon. made some improvements (and added the elevator push rods!). john's calipers will confirm the alignment of the main wheels,

Re: Hellloooo Corsair

What's going on with that wheel? It looks like you hit it with the bevel/emboss byr the real wheel is pretty sharp and flat. Unless you're doing the other style wheel...but it doesn't look like that.


You can't cut corners on a plane like this or someone will notice

Your shape is looking better and you did the weld lines nice

Re: Hellloooo Corsair

BH,

woops. the wheel is fixed. here is one color scheme I have tried. the old trusty palm tree is added (the only competitive advantage over BH). I need to fiddle with the highlights more, soooo watch this space,

Re: Hellloooo Corsair

Are you sure about the red/blue surrond to the border to the insignia? Never saw one like that.
