Hi! Nice again!

Also check the letters HK (should be more bold) and T9 (9 looks complete different) Don't use standard DIN 1451 Letters. Seams T9 was haindpainted! And the swastika is too black!

Cheers,

Okay, okay. I screwed up. I only wanted a quick one before going to sleep.



Here is a corrected version, incorporating Simon's remarks (thanks!) and a few technical details: hole in lower engine cowling, underwing light... I've changed the red paint section but I'm keeping the sloped border as I believe it is the case.

I've also resized and relocated the cross, which should now be correct.

Let me know what you think.

[Baron]

me again!

check size and position of the letters HK!

Cheers

Is this better? I've altered the HK as much as I thought is reasonable. I don't think it should be moved/resized more than this.



Always impressive to see how many replies anything with German markings will get.

It's so true. Do a Soviet aircraft with paints the wrong colors and the markings all wonky and nobody notices. Use the wrong Werk Nr or have the wrong red value in the RGB sequence for RLM 70 and you'll hear about it!

Cheers,

Logan

Found a picture of "Jerry" on Little Friends:

This plus the other pictures seem to confirm the shape of the red marking on the nose of this aircraft.

[Jarink]

It looks like the red nose stripe was painted vertical after all, just not parallel to the panel lines. (Vertical in relation to the ground! )

Gammy examines pix pretty closely and is good at observing small details. Doubt if he'd miss something that obvious. I think he's spot on.

Super job GM!!!

Thanks for the compliment. I'm afraid I'm not always so thorough, though. In this case, it was a quick job and I did miss quite a few other things. Thanks to all who helped me correct and improve the drawing. I might be doing T9+CK or a bubbletop Germanstang later.

Right now I'm at work and tired and bored and half-depressed so no drawing today. I wish I could sleep or drink but boss say no to both... Can't imagine why...
