Generally there should by always shade gradation (lightened > basic > shaded) even on white surfaces, and so far usually the "actual" (background) white was used by SB/FD artists only for "lightened" parts, whereas the "basic" was already slightly darker (so technically no longer "white" ) to show "it's there".

Btw. although initially the shading principles in FD assumed that on rounded elements (like fuselage or engines) were meant to have it's "roundness" represented merely by one-pixel-thick shading (with fuselage along upper and bottom contour), in practice we have gradually departed from it towards slightly stronger representation and I think that on an aircraft this size You can safely make the lighter/darker shade on fuselage 2 or even better 3-pixel thick (on the top of engine it's already 2 pixel-thick anyway)

Thanks for your comments eswube, i try tu use de shades depending on the objects.

Hello to you all, today i present a new plane.

The Argentine I.Ae.22 DL from the Fábrica Militar de Aviones.
This aircraft was design as a advance trainer using wood and a indigenous engine the I.Ae.16 "El Gaucho", the design was based on the North American T-6 Texan. Production ran from 1944 to 1949 with 201 aircraft produced and withdraw from use by 1959. Future development was suspended due to the high amount of military equipment in the post war and lack of interest from the government. There are 2 surviving aircraft in museums.

Make this aircraft was dificult do to the limited info i was able to procure, i manage to find a few images on internet but very few, if some one have good pictures or have any info to share thanks in advance (allready used the principal internet and museum pages).

Enjoy
