Description
Ok, this is NOT Sparta... ;-)
There were only eight, not 300. I've been improving the "Rabual" textures for my 24 Squadron Wirraways after a bit more rummaging around on-line. Doped aluminium undersurfaces- another "alpha-masked" surface shader- in particular to exclude highlights from the enormous serial numbers painted under the wings. I gather that the A20 prefix simply means its a Wirraway... I mean if that wasn't there I'm sure we'd all mistake them for Hurricanes or Spitfires, wouldn't we??? ;-)

Yep they'd look like Hurricanes and Spitfires, if you closed your eyes and turned around :) From a distace it could be mistaken for a SBD Dauntless maybe. Seriously though, good model and texture work, do you plan to upload this one.
Wonderful job.
Brilliant!! ....I wouldn't fly too close to old 'puffin Billy' down there though :-) Great model, like Maxidyne I was thinking 'Dauntless' maybe in a bad light.Love that factoid about the 'A20' was that for the benefit of friend or foe? makes you wonder...well, makes me wonder anyway.Really nice background as well, a fine piece of Aviation art... 10/10+
Well done Briney! Damn nice lighting effect there... I'll bet it took more than a few attempts to get right!
Excellent lights & work!
Fine looking Render, really excellent! You can be proud of this one mate it's looks brilliant! Epic lighting here... Rob
Fine work. The smoke on the wingtip is confusing me... :-) Is this smoke? Or a cloud?
