1.  Make the lettering (mostly just the numbers) on the primary hull smaller ...  about 1/3 to 1/2 the size.

2.  make the primary hull about 1/4 larger .. ( the proportions just seem a bit odd) .

as far as the rest though ..  styling etc for the era you have selected ..  looks good !!

Thanx!! ;D

Thought the same about the reg...easy fix. The proportions are due to the fact that it was designed that way...according to SFM, the Lancaster were not well liked in the beginning because the looked too stumpy, but, the crews loved them becasuse, like a Timex, they took a lickin' and kept on tickin'. ;D One of the big things was the short, fat nacelles...but they had the power needed so... ;)

Its a cute bugger. This is based off scematics right? I was looking at it and the shape of the hull (the cigar shaped one, is that the hull or secondary? never was to clear on that)  Anyways it looks backwards. I am used to seeing then start large up front and taper towrds the back. hehe thats the thing with Feds, we see thwm so often we expecct em a certain way l:rofl:

Either ways its looking good!
