I check all the red colored part on the profile and correct the problem...

Hi Santino,

IMHO, the panel lines under the wings should be less visible because of the viewing angle. Maybe try and tone them down a bit? Let me know what you think?

Also the bump in front of the cockpit needs a tiny bit of highlight. It looks like you did that on the first drawings but not on the last one.

I like the Normandie bird!

Hi Gaetan

A couple of things that you might want to consider to improve these profiles is to soften that highlight, by hitting it quite heavily with a Gaussian blur and then adjusting the opacity to match.

Also consider breaking the highlight from one that right now is continuous from tip to tail into individual highlights reflecting the different shapes/angles found down the length of an airframe. i.e spinner/airframe/tail assembly.

I suspect that the highlight as seen above is just a single layer, I've found the best way to create effective highlights and indeed shadows is to build them slowly and never be afraid to use lots of layers of varying opacity as well as soft light/overlays etc... etc.
