hey, i'm no expert.  this is just a humble question, Truekill...are the white lines on the wings supposed to be that bright?  

the plane might seem a little more battle tested if the white lines were a little more faded.

great work.  love the butcherbirds.

I like it, but it looks...... Muted. Too subdued. Shouldn't there be more contrast between the colors? Just a tad more?

is that black thing exhaust or paint? put some scratches on it and add more weathering

Looks good Truekill.  The contrast between the upper and lower camo looks fine :)

One comment, the dark parts on the fuselage below the cowl, is that part of the paint job or are those radiator dirt streaks?  Can I suggest adding a heavy motion blur in the aft direction?  The dirt looks too "clean" :)


You'll also need to remove the swastika before submitting to HTC or AH-skins.

You'll find it prolly looks better when you adjust the rivets'/panels' to go along with the rest of the texture's changing colors, so it doesn't stand out so much and brake the illusion.

Truekill, actually quite the opposite. I meant perhaps making the colors stand out from each other just a hair more. But I haven't even seen any real pictures/plates of the historical colors. Just going off of aesthetic inclinations.
