Thanks Butch and Ted. Slow going but fun.
Marshall, awesome job on Funny Bunny! :encouragement:
Steve would you like some help with stuff like bump maps? Or a bare metal exterior? Keep up the good work!Quote:

Glad to help! Just PM me when ready. If you can, keep the rivets & lines on their own layers. I'll do some effects treatment to them prior to turning them into part of the bumps. Would be happy to help compliment all your hard work there.
Thanks Rick. Will do.
Looking good guys!
Oh Wow! What Duckie said. The wear and tear and fade is simply stunning work Marshal. Very realistic. :applause:Quote:

I have photos where, due to color differentiation and what appears to be surface stress, all control surfaces look as if to be shinned with fabric. Then, I also have found some photos that show what appears to be smooth, flat, evenly reflective control surfaces that look like all are metal skinned.
Does anyone have any source of documented construction materials for the control surfaces of the B-26?
Thanks for any help you could be.
Steve
If you look at this pic:
Ha, does not work, but now look further down

Oh, BTW, did you post a pic, or a link in your post. Not seeing it here.
EDIT: Ok, never mind :-)
If you look at this pic:

I would say ailerons and elevators are painted, and thus probably fabric covered.<br>
Great job so far, unfortunately I am currently in my spring/summer travelling mode, so I have almost no time to do any painting. I am however very much looking forward to produce the extremely weathered paintjobs, like the one above, that you so often see on B-26's.
Steve, I'll look thru my docs to see if I can find an answer to that.Quote:

Thanks for all the replies folks. Still plenty to do before I have to make the decision on how to treat the control surfaces.
Thanks Milton
Thanks Butch. Will take a look at your stuff.
Jankees--I agree with you on your photo example and that's probably the way I'll go barring any evidence to the contrary.
Ted--those rudder pics are perfect examples of what I'm up against. And I found "S987's" work early on. Amazing work.
Thanks again, ALL.
I fired an email to Robert "S987" since he's done the Marauders.
He's also here at MilitaryMesh.com "luxomodo08"

He did the early version also. Very talented modeler and artist.

EDIT: Wow that was fast, just got a response from Robert and he said go with fabric control surfaces. He does extensive research on his work so I believe him.
EDIT2: Just to be clear ask about the rudder (fabric) and elevators/ailerons are metal correct? Awaiting response, but I think that's what I've read. (B26.com).
