Re: Bare Metal P-51D

Hi WH1SKEA,
I really like your deep shadows under the machine and your highlights on the radiator scoop.
I'd thin down your highlights on your fin, remember this is a thin object with a sharp leading edge. I'd also tone down your highlight on the mid-line of your fuselage to about 40% of what you have now. It is confusing your shape. Your highlight on the top of the rear fuse could be thinned down too. The P-51 rear fuse is a relatively flat sided affair.
I hope this helps!
Grubby.

My small voice of almost noone meaning nothing on this field I would say this...reduce or remove the light reflection on the fuselage...it looks like the Mustang has some nonrounded fuselage...I mean that one that goes through the middle of the body...

Peter is right: it shows up more (too much IMH with the darkened panels and shading.
