Very nice Rogerdee!  Maybe turn up the specularity a bit to make it "shine" a little?  Or is that just an effect of the in-game lighting?

The lighting does look a bit dull.

Bravo, Rogerdee.   Very nice on the details, shading and weathering especially look good.

One thing - I have never seen this bird depicted with black paint on antiglare and fuselage top.  Its more like to have been the standard flat green or olive drab, isn't it?

Are you working from a color pic or painting, or B&W image?

Dan can probably post pictures that we can compare the colors with.  I've never seen a color photo of this plane, but you can tell from the b/w pictures that exist that the vertical striping on the fuselage matches the shade of the anti-glare.

Roger your black wing stripes are not wide enough.  Look at what Jester posted up thread.

And black was used as a cowling anti-glare,especially in the pacific.
