added metal effect to fuselage darkened the rest and toned down a touch the alphas, still w.i.p

Hi kikko,

All Comets - from the prototype to the last 4C had that dorsal fin extension. Why do you think it's wrong?

Jens...what i think he means is the apparant length/height of the dorsal extension.....Its there so i don't see what he means by not seeing it...?

Just no so pronounced with some paints maybe...?

Hi, Jens

first of all : don't think it's pure criticism :'( If you see that photo posted (good for all Comets from 1 to 4 c) the fin is shorter and not so prounounced . In my opinion it should be lesser long and lesser tall but it's not a problem, your work is highly respectable and I am very happy to have the early Comets available, too. :welldone:
