Bentley Tempest drawings

[Mangas]

I think I have some problems with the front section of the canopy:



John & James, do you guys have any hi-res images of the closed canopy? Especially the front area... That should help...

These crappy walkarounds doesn't show it close enough:

... Was there an armored glass?

may I see the perfectly drawn tires times larger?

First image is a Typhoon.

Second image is 'marked' as Tempest.

And looking through the images of Tempests that I do have they look to share canopies. Happy to be corrected.

I don't have anything clearer that is starboard im afraid.

These are fine, thank you.

Unfortunately, it'll be covered with plate anyway...



P.S.: am I only one who thinks the main wing is not thick enough?

Hallo Mangas,

no problem if you a certain detail not to show would like.
They are thereby in good society.



kein Problem wenn Sie ein bestimmtes Detail nicht zeigen möchten.
Sie befinden sich damit in guter Gesellschaft.

BIG improvements, and pretty fast too. Looking good so far

Watch out for the lighting on the upper spinner: it is not coherent with the lighting on the upper nose. It should be, as they have nearly the same shape.

Looking good, though.

Do you mean this?



@all: how do you guys do those heavily perverted spinner blade that points directly at you?

[BLOWHARD]

NICE!!!! It wasn't too long ago that you were working hard to figure out how to do this. You sure picked it up quick!!!
You might want to consider changing the upper highlight, making it not so thick top to bottom, keep the higher part but clip the lower portion off. Does that make sense or am I explaining it weird?
I does work on the forward cowling though I think.

Yes, I know it's a ww2 thingie, and it's a bloody combat plane -- not a glamour lady's car, but still... Did anyone ever think of trying to make that "polished refrective" effect we can see in the museums?



Or am I digging in the wrong direction completely?
