John, here is the start I have.

hi paul,

be very carefull, none of the drawing out there are any good, here is the correct nose glazing and also my canopy, canopy not checked.
that was as far as i got so between us we might get it finished

Nice start, but it needs more ugly.

[wildr]

Your rendition of the cockpit area was spot on, I think the nose drawing is not correct looking at all the photos I have (200Plus) I notice nobody posts photos. The area in the gunners position lower left plexi panels have no angle in them, it is a curved frame for the plexiglass ball.
Here is an earlier version of the B-18, a bomber version of the douglas DC-3.

Still not as ugly as some of the stuff the British built but looking pretty ugly so far.
The edges of the highlights look very strong and as though it was angled, I know it's very early stages but thought I'd mention it anyway.

I'd lower the opacity on the panellines quite a bit and remove the lines outlining shapes.

paul,

i have the same photos remember, you gave them to me

[wildr]

you are looking at it from an angle, not in flat profile. I would suggest the answer is somewhere between our two positions.

I don't know if this is helpful or not, but I took this in my recent Wright-Patt trip.



Cheers,
