    Possible to check these out?

    Few points.

    -Rudder assy should be slightly wider at top. It's general look is more round than pointy.
    -White 7 should be white.
    -Von Rosen crosses ofcourse.
    -There might be some tweaking needed on gears..hard to judge from pics. (maybe gear legs too long or at wrong angle.)
    -Pilots headrest was usually very thin (look picture gahris posted) much like in a6m2....well this is nitpicking:)

    I tweaked screenshot of your model to more "perfect".
    [​IMG]
    1. I made rudder slightly wider at upper part(by adding 1 corner more). Lower edge almost vertical.
    2. "White 7"
    3. Radio mast and wire. (not sure if possible, but atleast la5 model has them)
    4. von Rosen crosses. (could be all shades from finnish flag blue in pic to light blue)

    Ps. That Lynx you made is cool:)
    I didnt think it would be possible. :cheers:

    @illo: :@prayer: your feedback is invaluable. (hope my english is right -"invaluable"). thx alot.

    @all: any comments and notes (like illos ones) are greatly welcome. when i already spare time on modelling these planes, i want them 110% :mafia:

    good point, ill send an engineer to have a look at it:) (same for the mast and the ending of rear fuselage)

    i couldnt remember which colour it should have been as i returned home:) . the white seven is white already.

    in its place, there are all 6 on the plane. tryied to match the best blue as possible:)

    ill post some detailed pics so you can have a look at it and tell me whats wrong. the wheels could be IMO a bit smaller.

    :( youre right, my cockpit seems too wide in the lower part. that means id have to change all fuselage, at least its upper part. ill have a look at it.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    btw the plane now looks a bit schizofrenic, dont you think, illo. model and lynx art of a bw-366 (thats the plane from my plans), camouflage of jari's bw-364, white seven of unknown one.
    nevertheless, it can be our FH special :). on the other hand there should be no problem to change the white seven to red four and the lynx art to a dog art (or what it is). whats your opinion?

    a point to the colours: im not sure whether the dark parts of the camo are black. i made them black in the model. i guess i have no suitable colour anyway. all others are too bright...

    further changes:
    model thoroughly revised to suit WB format; not complete yet
    (great thx to pgmonster for feedback)
    camouflage is complete
    spinner made orange as at jari's bw-364

    i surely forgot smthing :)

    Cockpit seems ok imho. I just mean armored seat is quite thin.

    All colors are correct for white seven. Lynx is there in every finnish brewster.

    Black is black. Green is ok too...just needs adjust imho bit more to olive/darkgreen.

    Spinner is black in white seven. It was absolutely correct.

    No i don't think so. I will list all facts here for easy reading.

    1. Camo colors are Black/Dark green
    2. Lynx is correct for "white 7" and it looks perfect.
    3. Spinner is black in "white 7".
    4. bottom is all gray from nose to tail tip except of yellow East Front bands which are painted over it in rfuselage, cowling and wingtips.

    cc on all points. im heading home to make them real

    the colours i get from renderer in autocad, are always different from those i choose. the result in WB will surely look yet different.

    it was the whitest white in the posted pics :D (see above)

    Tomorrow I hopefully will know correct camo shades of BW-383 (white 7). I will post picture of it here then.

    Im 95% sure all colors are now correct with information we have. I have small doubt (5% change) black/dark green could have been dark green/olive in this plane basing on 1 poor quality profile. I will let you know immediately when its confirmed.

    Please post 1 side and 1 above view of your current work when you are ready.
    I'll sent it to some friends with knowledge of this particular plane for comments. :)


    Ps. Your DW-520 uses that other green(olive-yellowish) shade which might work perfect on brewster. You can use your personal taste to choose green camo shade. :)

    I think ive seen both used. Might be even on same plane at different time.
    Finns paints were quite non standard (unlike in LW)

    No, both links are working. Pictures are just too big for your browser to handle. So you have to download them.
