Other Post MiG-15 profile

[JP Vieira]

Hello
Here is a study I made about polished metal surface aircraft.
I used the famous MiG-15 as a subject, in order to understand and develop new methods of depicting metal polished aircraft.
I will do a follow on to this one to study the depiction of weathering on aircraft with these kinds of surfaces.
All comments are most welcome.
Best regards to all

From an artistic point of view, try shading the top a pale blue colour and as for weathering, a dulling of smoky shades around the intakes, exhaust and the rims of the cockpit is allways good. And below either green of brown, but very light shades. it's all about trying to get a mirror effect with shiny sufaces.

Or for a really shiny aircraft, a P-47 THUNDERBOLT, or how about a B-29 SUPERFORTRESS?

Can't forget the P-51 mustang either.

Or the , F-86's, F-84's, or even the 51's that were used in Korea.

In Vietnam you had the Mig-21's, the Mig 17's (most of them. Latter they were camoflaged), Mig-19's, F-105's, and F-104's, and the F106's/F102's, C-130's and the C-123', and Hueys.

Most of these Vietnam era fighters and cargo aircraft were in silver and then later on they were painted in Vietnam camo.
