check the intensity of drop shadows from the air filter on engine, and tail section...they differ and should not AFAIThink...as well as it whould be consistent partially with the prop drop shadow...

Thanks peter for your comment,
I checked all the shadows as you've suggested, now they are all the same features, Black 100% (Layer Style multiply, 25% opacity)

Looking good

OK, a couple of things here Santos. First of all the gap between the spinner and the body. You can't see a prop shaft here because the oil cooler protudes into the back of the spinner, so the gap would appear black almost to the top. You can't see a prop shaft at all. Secondly, your upper wing surface is so dark it looks like a kid got at it with crayons. Lastly, you are emphasizing the tail canvas ribs far too much. This needs to be very subtle. The canvas was stretched so tightly it almost looked like a smooth surface. Also, your frame numbers are way too large. In all though, it's a dramatic improvement from your first post.

Yes Santino,

otterkins2 is right in almost everything!

Your drawings have become enormously better.
The fabric of the rudder you have to improve but still ... she is drawn to bold.

What I would also be different, the slot is on the manhole cover.
The cover is removable and the surrounding black line is on your profiles too soft.

Thank you Otter & Heli for your comments and suggestion

Stencil frame numbers about right now but too bold. Reduce the opacity and they'll look more natural. The tail ribs are still far too defined. There should just be a suggestion there...but that's my preference. It's your art. On the whole, it's looking very good. Heli is quite knowledgeable in this area too, so you need to take his comments seriously. Right now I'm looking at the yellow on the cowl and thinking it looks too dark.

Here is a close up pic of an E rudder, (E7 probably but the same with your E3 anyway), to see how it really looked like...and what the guys mean by more subtle...

thank you Otterkins2 and elephant for your suggestion

I've just finished upgrading to the new standard the E-4 and E-7...

cheers

Looking very bella now Santos. Only comment I have is on "Weiss 15". I'm pretty sure the Hertz on the cowl was red and not black as you show it. If it is black, it's a unit marking I've never seen before. I also think it's too far forward, but I'd have to check my references on that.
