There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Been playing with Dave Garwood's DH-89A Dragon Rapide a little. I was looking at some old Scale Aircraft Modelling magazines and found some profiles for the Rapide. Thought I'd play with the paint kit a while. What do you guys think?
Dave
that reminds me... yet another paintkit to finish
Great job Hotel-five-two :salute:
CHECK!!

Here' s another texture. Ironically there was a shading layer for the wings texture that I had turned off. I followed Gaucho's advice and played with some shading on the fuselage. The shading layer there only had 2 lines on the nose and the shading on the rudder. So, I added some more.What do you guys think, should I lay it on more? I kind of prefer cleaner planes.

PS, The dark line showing in the screenshot is built into the model and isn't on the texture.
That long line in the model is actually correct, if a little too overpowering, for the actual "stringer" along the fuselage of the real thing is quite prominent as you can see in the attached image.
