B-18 Big Ugly

[JMSmith]

nice one paul,

nearly choked to death when i saw the airman pointing at the frame

you are quite correct on this frame, it should be a gentle curve not sharp like my original, but all the others still stand.

it is now up to the jury to decide which is correct


by the way this is nothing compared to GM,s mitchell wing

John I think this angle shows the parallel line of the two plexiglass nose panels, not angled as you seem to be convinced of.

[wildr]

This is what I have come up with so far, there are various versions of engines and nose and turret configurations. I will try to work on all, but am not confident on the natural metal colors or my ability to render the same.

Still changing, Wish there were more color photos

Hello:
Here are some of my notices - I hope they will be useful at Your work

[wildr]

I hope these are better, I think the darkened underside is too dark, I'm still workinking on all of these. B-18s during WW2.

[BLOWHARD]

Those look nice to me

[Supah]

Didnt these also come equipped with Magnetic Anomaly Detection booms?

[wildr]

Hold on hold on, its coming, 2 versions

Whilst they are nice profiles and it is a weird type I have to agree with Maciej's comments that they look a bit too flat, the photos show a gentle curve to the fuselage.



It isn't a big image but the cross section shows the curve and the noses look a bit odd due to lack of depth. Maybe softening and expanding the highlights will make a difference.
