Hi Clint!

Colours look good to me. Just the RLM 65 is not blue enough!

Cheers!

PS: You shouldn't cut out your fuselage lights and shadows with things you attach there later. (Schleppantenne) Antenna behind the wing for example. I'ts much easier to rework your profile if you do all attachments separatly.

With hindsight I wish I had kept the bottom fuselage shading as a single pass with the attachments on top later but it was too late by that point. I will create them on another layer but I'm just going to have to fill in the gap on the shading below. Bit of a pain but in the future I will do it as you suggest.

As for the RLM 65 what RGB value's would you suggest?

Thanks

Clint

Hi Clint

I think it looks great ! I think the highlight on the fuselage is spot on. I think you should try a light shade on the turrent under the nose...see what it looks like.

I also think you should look into the horizontal stabilizer highlight. I would increase the opasity of the current highlight and add a more narrow and more focused highlight to the leading edge.

I think the shade on the fuselage should be more consistent. It looks like the shade bends up in front of the wing and bends back down behind the wing. I tried to add a ground reflection on the F-105 i´m doing at the moment and i think it looks good, perhaps that´s worth trying aswell ?

Hoep you can use my comment...under all circumstances, this project will turn out very nice !

Keep up the good work !

Hi AC Pro

I will look into the horizontal stabiliser, it could do with a slight highlight to tie it in with the highlight on the fuselage.

The shade on the fuselage: I think I know what you mean, from photos of the Ju88A-1 under restoration in Norway it appears that this area of the wing root kind off flattens out around the area of the wing spar, not conforming to the general curve of the cross section. Thus bending the shade up and then down again at the point where it flattens out? These photos may show what I mean? (excuse the little helpers, what a cool way to spend your childhood)






The gondola under the cockpit: I did mess about with the shade on this area but it's only the shade iv'e used that really gives the effect of the gondola being right over underneath the opposite side of the fuselage:


Ground Reflection: I'll look into this and see how it turns out.

Thanks again Aircraft Profiles, I hope what I have written makes some kind of sense?

Warm Regards

Clint

I've added a highlight to the leading edge? And a couple of other little details.


Cheers

your highlight look very nice for me

[Aircraftprofiles]

Much better ! Great work mate !

[Baron]

Great!

Thank you chaps!

I've updated the RLM 65 with the paint chip Simon, How's the undersides looking? (bit blue to me but that could be my monitor, so if it looks good to everyone else I'm happy) Added the Fug 10 Antenna mast.


Thanks

Clint, yer looking totally awesome so far. I can't wait to see this beauty finished! The only complaint that I have is that it just looks a little too crisp for my taste. A lttle Gausian blur perhaps??? Anyways, yer doing an admirable job of doing the old bird justice!
