He-162 "Spatz"

Excellent work Santo! A few minor things to pick bones over, but on the whole an excellent job. Didn't listen to me on the gun sight did you. Oh well, easy enough to fix.

"Didn't listen to me on the gun sight did you"

do you mean something like this...

Santo,

Great work I'm sure you've caught the error in the cast shadow of the wing leading edge on the last post. By the way, can you tell me where you place the sun for your shadow effects (elevation and azimuth)?

[Otterkins2]

BINGO!!! Ya got it Santo! Nice gun sight.

Sounds familiar. I've got my eye on you, Joe!

[santynus]

I place the sun on the middle of the aircraft and 60? of elevation

[Vacajun]

It's interesting to note the way we have different approaches to the sun position for profiles. Most renderings have the sun at about 60-70 degrees elevation in front of the aircraft and others use different positions.

Thanks!

I made some new update

[Otterkins2]

OK. Ask yourself if you feel that's better than your first effort. I think it's an enormous improvement!

[Vacajun]

Santo,
Congratulations! Fantastic job.
For your consideration,I think the leading edge of the shadow that the wing's unswept leading edge casts on the fuselage should be vertical for your sun angle, not swept aft as you show it.

Great work!!

Joe
