Re: Should the story about Do335 W.Nr. 240113 get rewritten?

Original answer material about Do 335 is edited away by me: Reason is that Simon Schatz did many of the profiles in the botched Medcalf book (Classic No. 23) on the Ju 88 (see Book revue section of this blog)
and post abowe appears be self promotion of his profiles. There is no revelation to state this plane was two seater. #112 and #114 were. Simple.

My opinon on these profiles (here and in book) follows.
"You should perhaps reconsider some of of the excessive "glare" shading on your drawings, specially fins.
If that whould be real airfoil, these were not so thick on leading edge. And wrong in my opinion. And under scoop also looks have
some excessive (*solid*) white. Similarily under fuselage seems solid black, but yet much lighter shading under wings.
Do not blame unpainted for this. In my mind a shadow is a collection of transparent grays (not solid blacks). Think about it."

This opinion of mine also extends to some of the "modern" profiles, such as often presented in UK monthlys.
Some are really horrible in using black for shading.
