Pilatus PC-7 / PC-9

[helischmidt]

hehehe well I should have spotted that myself and I have to figure out how I am going to portray that in a way that looks good

Hello Supah,

here you can see how the PC-7 exhaust pipes.

many greetings

... so in about my idea of ​​the left tube!

Wonder if a minor tweak to the lower shadow on the wing leading-edge-fuselage intersection could eliminate the sense that the inner wing has a gull shape similar to the Corsair?

That is one outstanding art work!

- Edited the exhaust to make it look like it is turned down a few degrees.
- Edited the wingroot shading to remove the illusion of a gullwing as much as possible.
- Added a propeller, it still needs some more work.

I really like the wing sahding, Supah! I can't say exactly why but it looks nice and crisp.

My only comment would be about the wing root, as Joe said. The highlight that you've drawn on the LE makes it look as if it were going up. If you simply try to modify that and make the highlight horizontal, I think that would solve the problem.

Hello Supah,

very good, your modified new drawing.
The wing leading edge, the light reflection, should really be on the inner wings horizontally. Here the wing has no slope.

Hallo Supah,

sehr gut, deine modifizierte neue Zeichnung.
Die Flügelvorderkante, die Lichtspiegelung, am Innenflügel sollte wirklich waagerecht sein. Hier hat die Tragfläche kein Gefälle.

Viele Grüße
Heli

Sweat looking thing and it looks like you've just about got it down. My question is, what the hell are you doing???? A plane with a fan on it? What ever next AFV's, floaty things?

I honestly don't that that the black shadow that you have running along the top of the fuselage/canopy is doing this profile any favors at all. Have you considered/tried doing it in yellow and setting it to multiply or using a dark Blue/purple on the canopy glass and softening it so that it isn't one consistent line running the edge of the aircraft? As it is a present.

Looking again, it looks like you have done this on the lower 2rds of the fuselage.

Not completely sure I copy what you are saying but I will have a look. Meanwhile here is a seat I did based on pictures I got from a crewchief in the RNLAF who works on these things.



It's larger then what I need in the drawing but this made it easier to draw
