Lest we forget the "Deuce." Thanks to gamary and blowhard for the tips. Comments will be welcome and cherished---I have a looong way to go at this game!

Looking good, Joe.
Maybe bump up the highlights to give it more shape. I'd run quite a sharp highlight along the spine and up the fin. Even if the paint is quite matt, narrow radii will always give a highlight. Adding more highlight to the nose, fuse and tail bulge is going to give them more form too. Watch your cast shadows from the wing on the tank and pylon, they should probably be almost as dark as they are on the fuse, it is the same object casting the same shadow. I think the shadow on the tank needs to slide back well under the wing. Run the shadow on the pylon down from the leading edge and then run it over the tank from there. The intensity of the shadows on the fuse look pretty good to me, nice and subtle with some reflections.
I hope this helps!
Grubby.

WOW! Great improvement over the WIP you showed me!!! Very strong, nice bold line work. Grubby suggestions are worth trying, it will get even stronger
Nice work Joe Just remember me when you hit the big time

That is a really strong profile. It sits well and looks the part.
For some reason it looks a little bit unfinished, but I can't put my finger on it, a lot like my own work, (I can see its close, but can't see where it is lacking).
Take a break from it for a week, then have another look at it.

BUT, I think its a cracking piece of work, very well done.

couldnt have said it better Jest, i'm into a brick wall with my F-104 but step away and come back and you always realise that you remember what its missing

Very nice, Joe! Is the F-102 that big or are -102 pilots that small? I was a bit surprised by the relative proportions, but I don't know that bird so well.

I have a looong way to go at this game!

You don't want to put a after that but a . How would you have fun if you weren't learning and improving and so on? That would be really boring IMO.
