        Work in progress of a Spitfire from the Biggin Hill hangar in the UK, oil on canas paper 10in x 7in.

        It’s from a photo so I’m aware the fuselage has a bit of a strange shape near the viewer and I need to adjust the direction of the radio mast as it shouldnt be vertical.

        C&C welcome.

                Good start, neilly. Photo’s can give you distortions.

                    I’ve done a but more work on this now, would appreciate any critique whether there is enough difference in tone – I’m thinking that the rear of the fuselage should be much darker…still need to fix the curve under the wing root.

                        Hi I hope you don’t mind i have found one of my photos and flipped it to match the angle.

                        Sorry about the awful editing ,it really is not my thing LOL :).The fuselage needs to be rounder ,yours looks flat and also tapers down towards the tail.The Spitfire is a pig of an aircraft to get the angles right ,good luck :thumbsup:

                            The letters and roundel would help show the roundness of the fuselage if you paint light into the top halves and shade the lower .

                                    I’m liking your composition and idea of the Spit in the hangar. Will it be a morning scene? Good start.
