Thanks Geoff and no worries! 🙂 Although I don’t intentionally aim for photo realism, I guess it’s a byproduct of adding more and more detail to my work (such as wingtip light cover nuts :p ). Plus I worked a couple of years in the product visualisation business, making photoreal images of various consumer products, techniques of which probably sneaked into my working methods.
Etienne, thanks! Yes I’m aware of the yellow T Mk IIIs of the Turkish AF. In fact that photo was a great help for me during my modelling, as I don’t just rely on 3-view drawings (I actively avoid them!), but make extensive use of photos and engineering drawings/data. There’s a nice high-res picture of this machine available, here. I may give this machine a go at some point when I’ve worked out all the finer differences between the FB Mk VI and T Mk III. For the moment I’ll try to (re-)focus on wartime aircraft again.
