This one was haunting me since i took my lil break but i wanted to finish it. The black circles are  supposed to be windows HTC modeled them not me!  I did all the panal lines and riviting myself also :p

Very nice work!

Though Id try and slightly erase randomly on the rivets.  It gives them a worn look.  As of now they are too defined IMO.

Those dark circles are actually holes in the aircraft that go through it.  

Check this out.  You can see it here.


I very much like the worn, dirty look to it as well. :)  But, I think I'm going to have to go against my opinions and say this:  The Navy kept their birds clean because of all the salt getting into the plane.  Im not so sure, but Ive seen that they wiped up all of their planes regularly, but dont quote me on that.

I don't know... I think it looks sweet that way.  First thing I thought of when I saw the rivets was how nice they looked.  That dirty look is also very well applied throughout.  Just say its a land based Navy TBM, and it takes off on dirt runways   :aok
