hi jester,

looking good, you even got the downward pointing engine, well done most people miss that

[fritzie101]

Jester looks very nice except is this an F6F-5 or F6F-3? If it's a -5 you need to get rid of the bulge on the cowling in front of the exhaust, change the windshield to the later style without the frame on the side and also the antenna masts on all but the earliest hellcats were straight not raked forward. Also some -5s had the window behind the cockpit deleted( look at individual aircraft photos to see if this one had the rear window or not).Basically what you have is a early -3 with late war markings. As far as the profile itself goes I like it alot, you just need to tweek it a bit.

I like much the light effects on the front fuselage. Really smooth. Also the wing comes out very well.

[BLOWHARD]

It's looking really good. Maybe check the fuselage from the canopy to the tail. I wonder if you could pull more of the shape into it?
Can't wait to see the weathering. The color looks really perfect!

Jester is a bit rabid in his approach to art. Where most people leave off and call it a done deal, he's just getting his second wind before lunging in again. Not my area of expertise, but awsome looking indeed!

Looking good Jester,, I agree with BH cant wait to see the weathering,,

Very Nice start(as per usual), I have to agree with BLOWHARD(as per usual) about the fuselage shape, but I guess this is the price you pay when posting a WIP. Colour look right on.

Here's a couple of nice images from my files, hope they help, even if they are pointing the wrong way.
