That's almost a normal-looking aircraft, John. Are you sure you want to do this?

[GiantFlyingRobots]

Nice! Will follow with interest.

I did one of these when I was working out for myself how profiles were done.

Believe me when I say Johns looks better than mine already.

Doing another is definitely high on the list.

[GiantFlyingRobots]

BTW. What line-art are you using, and can I have a copy for later?

[JMSmith]

sure can,

although the side window is the wrong shape, i have to redue all the canopy frames this weekend

[GiantFlyingRobots]

Thanks, will definitely be my next project, just need to finish the 6 different ones currently on my desktop.

[JMSmith]

i will post the modified mask when i have done it,
only looks like the quarterlight window and the frame thickness on main canopy needs doing, outline shape look to be right

[JMSmith]

right, well that drawing is well out,
here is the modified mask, based on period and restored aircraft photos

[JMSmith]

right,

now forming using different colours than before, i always used black for shadow and white for highlight, but no more, looks far better using greys and blues and purples

Took this today.

As an image (crappy phone camera) its far from perfect, but gives a nice view of form and shadow which is at just about the right angle for profiling purposes.
