Just to make it clear, I'm in no way meaning to bash true grit or anything, this is real early days, of course things arent going to be perfect.
But the textures do look a bit flat and without much depth, I have looked at plenty real typhoon pictures dont worry, I know they look pretty smooth. Had a couple fly over me too (havent been at an airshow yet though sadly).
The exterior isnt terrible in any way, its just that the interior exceeds the quality of the exterior right now. Although I'm sure that will change as progress is made.
The lighting could also be the culprit.
Overall I'm just really excited, very much appreciate the progress pictures and just made a little comment.
