Hey I'm just trying to keep things positive

i got reference drawings from blueprints and scaled them down and traced. The wingspans and length of aircraft are to scale other features may be slightly off. also i posted the f4f a week ago to see if anybody liked it and i didn't get a response so i just went ahead and did more.
ps i saw somewhere the f4f wings fold like that, SORRY. someone already did the f6f.

Fair enough.

Then you probably introduced a lot of translation error when you scaled them down. There's no way the P-47's wingtips look like that. There's no way any actual mass-produced combat aircraft of the era had wingtips like that, at least with a conventional engine and wings up-front config.

Not that I know too much of the Me109, but from the looks of it...did you just take the P-38 you made earlier and rip the cockpit out, to put it on one side of the aircraft? Because that's what it pretty much looks to me, with a few revisions to the tail.

Hi JDolan,

To be fair to cvbbdd, none of the major dimensions match the P-82 or the P-38, and it doesn't have the "fuzzy" look a straight re-size would do. It may not be accurate (not familiar with the Me109Z at all), but I think it's a genuine new drawing.

Regards,
Adam

Better. Absolutely, better.
