Does not matter what you used , like the other dio, this one is fantastic. Didn't notice any battle damage.....did he run out of gas comming home from a raid or patrol ? Very , very nice...........Al

Hi Holger,

very impressive water! I like the water flowing over the wings. I would only keep the cockpit window open, but that is nitpicking .

I was thinking along the same lines. The water over the wings really sets this dio off. Very nice. Also thinking the same about the cockpit being open instead of closed.

I can only repeat what the others have said! The water flowing over the wings REALLY sells it! Have you ever thought of doing a feature?

Hello mate.
I like your work is very attractive.
I recommend that you use for another time
Oleoaquil to simulate the water, you find in art stores and also sells under the name Vallejo effecs watter.

I just upload an image of a Do24 and use that material to water, see if you convince

Saludos
