It's based on the F4-Phantom used in the 70's.
I had an older version but I wasn't satisfied about it so I decided to start it all over again.
(Click here for the old version, yes it's not so good.)
I think I need some advise about all his wings

Edit: I think to have fixed most of the errors, pic updated.
Edit²: Added color to the plane and think to have fixed every error.
Anyone has advice on how to start shading

Well for one I can tell you the back or right wing of the plane needs to come out more or something with the angle doesn't look right to me. I do have a plane book here but none in this angle :( Sorry Other then that it looks good so far. :)

Yes, the angle bothers me too.
But I've searched for several other methods to create those wings, none of them seem to work.
That's why I'm hoping some of you guys can give me a tip =D

I looked at some ref and I think the wings on this thing are a liitle bit longer.
also, I'm not sure your wings are aligned with eachother. I'd need to draw a red line and check :D
apart from that it looks quite alright at this stage.

If there was just some way to measure one side to get the other side at the right angle. I fail at that part sorry. :(

yep monstara is right ... need repair :)

nose of the plane isn't good now look at with bending on the left/up ... near to the tail from above have something badly maybe need non pixel lines for curves !!!

Thx Monstara, that sure is a good tip.
I'll try to fix that part.
But I'm not quite understanding you zi-double.
Could you explain a little bit more?
Edit: I think too have fixed most of the errors sed.
I updated the original picture.
Edit²: More people have assigned several more pixel errors and I think to have fixed all the wings.
I have added a colored version of the plane.
I hope to get it fully shaded by tomorow,.. or next week.. as I'm lazy.

Try making the air intake more detailed as they were wider than that on the real planes.
