What do you think about that?

Nice but why you have pint transparencies of the bottom turret in the underside color?

I think it's a factor of size. If you look closely, you can see the windows are there and colored the same as the other windows, but because of their size, they're difficult to see from this angle.

It is possible but better to ask Cédric. I know his work from before.

Cheers,

In fact is shade which gives this effect on the turret at the beginning all is transparent ..... if not this plane was assigned to Squadron 206 of the RAF and thus coded VX-D

did you pay your licensing fee to boeing ? if not they might come after you.

I wish I could do something like that, I can't draw a straight line even with the help of a ruler.

Boeing asserts full with things but never passes to the action, the photograph is English and the plan of the profile is French, they has nothing to say to me :lol:

Don't appologize, your English is light years ahead of my French (some rude, some VERY rude, and some Cajun French)

I like the profile but:

-- The topside looks solid grey, I can't make out the camouflauge pattern like I can in the photo.

-- The VX-D are the wrong proportions, they should be 2x as tall as they are wide. Also they and the serial were probably red. And they are a little too large; in the photo you can see they are not as tall as the roundel. The roundel may be slightly undersized, what size in inches did you assume it was?

-- Proportions of fin flash are incorrect.

-- Sloping part of the upper/under camo demarcation coming from the tail should be flatter, more gradual.

Sorry to be nit picky, but profiles are generally intended to be used as references, so the details should be right.
