    Good job!

    Set the fill on your rivets to 0 and it'll be even better.

    Just because you go to all the trouble of drawing them doesn't mean you need to draw attention to them.

    Thanks, James.

    To Vacajun, I really want to attend to things you mentioned, but I just don't know what to look at... Can you point with red arrow on my image what you're trying to say?

    To all: this is closing soon: I just need the torpedo attaching mechanism & a few stencils/small hatches left to do... Any suggestions? Really don't want to overweather it, since this particular guy didn't live long: it was KIA...

    Mangas,

    You've now scratched my itch by adding more shading to the center of the bottom of the horizontal tail and lightening up the dark line near the leading edge. You could still lighten that dark line a bit.

    If you look at mclaring's version on page 1 of this thread you'll see he has a minimum of shading under the tail, but it better conveys less thickness at the leading edge of the tail than your previous versions.

    Good to go!!

    Vacajun, early mclaring's A-20 profile lacks some 3D highlight/shading, and he admits that himself!
    Believe it or not, but A-20's "horisontal tail" (as you call it) did have hell of the thinkness/roundness:


    P.S.: Please note that this guy is at the same exact position towards the sun (source of light) as mine...

    Re: Havocs...

    I hope I didn't "overhighlighted" it:



    According to the last researches, these 51th PTAP guys used only 1 torpedo from starboard... So it's barely visible...

    I swear someday I'll rotate it so that it's visible, but so far I would have to rework damned all stencils/codes/lamps/underside star e.t.c...
