This is a great looking rendition - you have captured the feel of it
nicely imho! I believe the real world plane has a noticable dihedral for
the main wings which I imagine might be a tad hard to show here (or is it
just the limitation of this view?).

Thanks. Do you mean the teardrop cross-section (my first plane and I have
no idea of the terminology)? I tried to capture it a bit but with the
limited range of wing parts available I didn’t get it quite as much as I
would like.

Actually I was referring to what could be called the “wing droop” as shown
in this photo:

Wow. That plane certainly needs some Viagra(tm)... I didn’t realise they
drooped so much. Might be time for a version 2 I think (ps. replied to your
other post at jlug).

That is a big droop! I thought dihedral was upwards toward the tips, or does it
cover both up and down? The Sopwith Camel was always described as having a
noticable dihedral on its lower wings combined witha flat upper wing to give it
a destictive shape and they slope up.
