Super Etendard Tiger Meet 2008 colorfull piece

[stephane_G]

Bonjour,
I just wanted to show you my latest profile of Super Etendard special color scheme used during Tiger Meet 2008 (instead of usual squadrons deployed aboard US Navy Carriers)


And some zooms



Just tell me your thoughts

Nice paint scheme!

[stephane_G]

As you know Ga?tan, I'm more used to draw US Navy aircrafts, but this time I found an interesting painting scheme for a french navy plane. I couldn't resist.

[stephane_G]

Hey, guys, nobody else than Gaetan to comment the work ?

Technical stuff to discuss ?

[AGNT_Matt]

might just be my eyes but the tank look matt finish not gloss like the airframe part from that C'etait tres bien!

[stephane_G]

Perfect, this is the only way to improve. Yes I must admit a glossy lightning should be added too the tank.

Looks nice. Cockpit appears very well rendered.

Only area that I question is the scrubbing marks forward of the intakes. Are these supposed to be reflections? Somehow they seem more like a marking on the surface, in comparison to the glossing streaks on the fuselage.

These scrubbings aren't reflections, these are part of the tiger drawing. There are white scrubbings behind the head of the tiger, and black scrubbings on the head of the tiger itself. That the way the artist painted this nice tiger scheme with aerograph.

I really like it

Oh I see! Just did a search for a reference photo, and indeed they are well presented as markings.

Thanks!
