are you going to add the other planes in the Pacific war too ?

i’d suggest add some colors would be nicer to look at LOL

@RickyBlender
I’ll double check my cowl shape. Thanks for taking the time to look so closely at the model.

I already have a pretty decent Betty, George & P-38. I’ve been thinking of doing something fun with them all.

The coloring is just a PBR shader. I haven’t done any UV layouts or texturing yet. I’ve barely started the cockpit, I don’t have a pilot yet and I haven’t made any ordnace or weapons racks yet. Once those are done, I’ll work on some interesting color schemes.

Good luck on your Zero. Will you be posting it here at BA?

Mark, great looking model! Going to be gorgeous when it’s done. Any recent work on it? Can you get a good shot of the engine posted? - Rich
