I am currently working of a FW 190A-5 (JG 54 Nowotny)
While creating my panel lines / rivets I noticed there’s is something odd about the left wing on the 190A8B.bmp (the a5 and A8 share this bmp).
The left wing appears to be both narrower and shorter then the right, at least in relation to how the texture gets mapped.
The image above is the easiest to see.
I know the obvious thing to look at is that I don’t have the rivets / panel lines on the left wing placed properly. That’s was my first thought. However you can see the same on Kweassa's Jg2 A5 and the default AH2 A5.
If I move the lines / rivets forward those lines rivets along the leading edge get cut off. In fact they are cut off already:
1st the right wing:
No problems here:
The left
See how in the circled area the panel line gets cropped. This is in addition to the first pick where I circled the rear area.
So my conclusion is the left wing is to narrow.
It is also too short
The default wing shows this clearly. The left wing tip is cut off in addition to being moved closer in toward the fuselage.
I maybe able to force a fix by resizing my rivets panel lines on the leftwing to 95 or 97% the size of the right but it still will look incorrect.
Since the A8 has this same issue I thought I would bring it up. I am so happy with the g6 fixes I hate to come off like an ingrate. Hell I don’t even like the A series 190s. However, should you find the time could you please look into it.
TIA
ps The MG17 cowl looks pretty poor compared to the d9. It’s basically completely flat with no curvature at all.
