Re: Miniature fin fillets in the Mustang Mk Is

I concur with Artist. The sun is almost directly behind and above the aircraft and casting the shadow of the vertical stabilizer. Notice the shadow of the horizontal stab. and the carb scoop.

Re: Miniature fin fillets in the Mustang Mk Is

You must look at the other shadows. Beiing an artist this is one of the first things I look for. ( the light source) You can see the light(sun) is coming from behind the aircraft. Not only what you are looking at as a wing fillet but look at the shadow from the air scoop on top of the cowl. See how it forms the same type of shadow? Coming from the same light source. Under the horizontal tail surface to, keep looking and you will see what I mean. Bob

Hi Friends

OK, I feel convinced, most likely you are right. What a devil's trick with this light... :-)

Thank you very much for your comments.

Best regards
