NATEDOG can you rework the canopy frame to be more round? (yes I know roundness is tough with polygons     )

detail it up the way you have with the 109 cockpit frame? sort of a premptive shhh! for any latecoming critics    

other than that it looks awsome, but that canopy needs a bit of touch up since its the part of the plane that we will be seeing the most.
the front armored glass window needs a rounded top edge also.

Please just view this as constructive criticism not meaning to hurt any feelings.

       

less important:

tan/brown exhaust stains from supercharger.

panels that vary in metal shade in some places where appropriate instead of panel lines

panel lines that blend in better.

   

The radiator inlets under the props would look a little better with 3 small inlets under each prop equal size horizontally by making the center one more narrow as well as making the dividers between the 3 inlets more narrow.
The inner side panels inside the radiator intakes need to be a darker shade of metal to simulate being in the shadows cuz when the sun shines above them they light up real bright.


its a gem even if you don't polish it though        

great work        


p.s. can you make the interior color all yellow green where aplicable, and have the gunsight mounted relatively high?

Actually the parts you will be seeing the most:

1.  The hideous tangle of canopy framing.
2.  Below you, the ground.  Around you, blue sky.  Above you, risers and a silk canopy.

yes but with the AH planes it apears that the canopy is same from inside and out only inner details are removed at range  

rounder the better

Nate, can you paint a great big red and white target with a bullseye over the cockpit area?  

On second thought, prolly won't need one <G>
