Hy all! I open this thread because i would like to present the hungarian airplanes.
Hungarians ,in the WWII had got german,italian,and some own expansion plane.

Fw190F8
In this picture you can see the 102."Puli"Fighter-bomber squadron's plane.
Squadron commander was Captain GYőző Lévay.The Squadron contained three company the 102/1 , 102/2 ,and the 102/3(this was the training group,but it's never formationed)
Sergeant János Róza flew with this plane ,that you can see in this picture.
He is one of the most famous,and most efficient hungarian fighter-bomber pilot.
He had got 5 airkill,and 3 unjustified airkill.He destroyed 5 tank,10 motor-vehicle.

Very nice profile, but...

I'd tone down the black and white a bit.
They both jump off the aircraft as if they are not part of the aircraft.

Look at the (RLM) colorcharts and find that black and white paint are never #000000 and #FFFFFF.

Also try to add more shade (for the white) and hightlight (for the black) to them blend more into the image

Is that some sort of toy dog on the unit's insignia??? The puma with the Bf 109 had more "panache" as we French say...

I agree with Serval about the pure black and pure white. Are they ever existent in nature? Even if they are, I think pure white should be used only to represent void on a drawing.

I'd also make the panel lines more discreet. I like the way you've captured the shape of the aircraft. It looks more massive than it usually does on profiles but I like that. Brings out the "big brute" side of the Fw 190.

Hy!
This is a a hungarian sheperd dog.Győző Lévay had got a sheperd dog name "Mocsok" ,that's why 102.squadron had got this insignia.

Thx the reflection.

A couple of hints:

1: Use more complex and dramatic highlights and shadows.

2: Do not outline wings and the fuselage with black lines. In reality these do not exist so why draw them?

3: Add some highlights to your Panel lines and work in a high resolution. Now you panel lines are too thick in scale. If the drawing was scaled up then the panel lines would be a inch or two across which is way too big.
