Van RV-8A

It seems all I have time to do at the moment is GA profiles!

Here's a WIP of a workmate's plane. Apparently it was assembled by a group of QANTAS workers to a very high standard.

There are still a few details to be added, the flaps to be drooped etc.

Grubby.

Re: Van RV-8A

I see where you're going with the reflections on both the tail and the canopy but it doesn't look convincing to me. But then you may well have some photos that will prove me totally wrong!

I'll second that on the canopy but I think the tail reflection is really nice!!
Overall, a great looking shiny paint job

Re: Van RV-8A

Very nice, Grubby.

Just a question: there is a highlight running on the upper rear fuselage that suddenly stops on the canopy. Does the canopy have a special shape that gives that effect or is it just WIP? Hope I'm clear enough.

Re: Van RV-8A

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

Gaetan, I think there is a rampant mask at work there! It is a WIP so I will fix it in due course.

Grubby.
