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?

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.
