Very nice mate ! It looks great !

(sorry about my absence from this forum !)

Cheers Mads, I'm sure you've been busy.

Progress, I can see the finish line but not yet. Underwing not finished quite yet. Oh and gotta do the Dive Break.

Overall:

Now I've got a slight issue with the background bit being not as dirty and weathered so I'm gonna have to go back after and dirtyerlize it to match.

Cheers

Clint

Pretty solid looking!!! But you gotta get the gear on it

Will you add the wing shadow to the nacelle?

Clint Mitchell · #**185** 18th April 2010, 21:25

Cheers dude, yep gonna be a lot of shadows which I will probably do last all at the same time for consistency. Just got to finish weathering the underwing then the dive brake, undercarriage, some boring niggly bits to do on the main fuselage and then some time spent balancing everything out. Then exhaust stains, oil streaks etc. Then Finito hopefully. Next stage A-5

Great job. When you finish this one maybe you could do all the variations that the '88 had. Shouldn't take long, you've done he hard bit.

very nice...congrats...
But if I may, from the first look I had on the detailed wing view, I got an impression that the wing is broken down...upside down V shave...could it be due to the strong dirt/shadow effect on ailerons?

other way excellent one...

Thanks GFR, that is the plan really. It's not gonna take long to create the slight changes between the variations it's mainly just:
A-5: Different engine (on later models) so different exhaust stack config and a few little details on the fuselage, oh and the longer wing which I'm about 90% done with already because I created at the same time as the short wing.

A-4: Slightly different tail, larger wheels and again different engine so exhaust stacks and some elements of the power egg.

And then many different armament/armour and B-stand/C-stand canopy configurations for all above models. But yeah the hard bit is almost done. Then about 500? different markings schemes to churn out.

Then maybe move onto the more specialized versions?

Peter K: I don't understand what you mean? Does anyone else notice this? Could do with sorting it if there is an issue.

All comments and crits are welcome to get this one spot on gents.

Thanks

Clint
