That's a big improvement Vraciu. The colours look right, the aluminium looks a lot more like metal now and the panel line dirt works well too.

Thanks man.  Couldn't have gotten this far without your help.   This has certainly turned into a group project.   :)   :salute

What about it?

I do see that it's missing the counterbalance.

That isn't modeled in the game so I left it off.  Guess I will have to add it...

The seam seems (ha ha) too light or too solid or something.  Just looks off.   Maybe it's just me...

Horizontal stab updated.   Looks a lot better now.   Some of the rivet highlights are in on the NMF part of the fuselage.   Can you tell at all?  How bright should they be really?   Seems like they're gonna' be "Neon Gray" if I pump them up enough to be seen on the aluminum surface.

I took pics without shadows by accident, but they were too good to just throw away so I have included them.





And to think we started HERE:

Shadow layer for the rivets is in.

I think this is the best I can do for now.   Gotta' learn some better techniques.    :lol

Thanks for the help guys, especially you Devil for the step-by-step walk through.   :salute
