      Looks good but i think it needs motion blur propellors.

        Lovely model. Compositionally I'd go for a lower camera angle (I think your background plate could just about sustain this), and would tilt the aircraft slightly off horizontal, to make it feel a bit more dynamic. Great work πŸ˜„

                Suggested composition change. Tweaked lighting. Props coming next.

                  Looks good. My only thought is that I'd tilt the nose of the plane up just a touch more. See how at the moment the wings and horizontal tail-planes seem to touch? Tilt the nose up a bit and you'll get a bit of blue sky between them, and the model will "read" better. Hope that makes sense. Such a great, clean model!

                    Good suggestion. I agree. Will do that.
