Thank you - but it might sound a bit odd to you, I've always felt the exhaust stains lacked something, they just don't look quite... right to me. But perhaps that's just me... >.<

I think the black just needs to be less solid and more soft

Quite agree, I need to work in some tints of brown and grey, and some traces of burnt paint around the exhausts... ^^;

I've seen a real Mitchell of the same design (12 forward-mounted guns). This variant was designed to sink ships just by shooting them over and over again. Quite the scary beast up close!

I know - I've only ever seen the 'glass nose' variant (solid nose Mitchell's aren't very common over here in Europe - but then again, Mitchells aren't very common over here at all), the idea of staring down the barrels of 12 0.5s is surely scary... ^^;

Even more frightening when the guns are mounted on a dark-blue monster named 'Devil Dog'. It was an attack plane for the U.S. Marines. 30 ground attack missions, and it sank two destroyers, a cruiser, and one or two cargo ships.

Weird. For some reason, the comment above was posted into the 'Emergency Strip' thread, and again on the folder page. What just happened there???
