Heya folks,

I know what I'm after, but I don't know the terminology to search for it, so I'm hoping someone can help me out:

For aircraft canopy's / windows, there's a style where you start with a (for example) grey, airbrush white at the top and a blue-ish at the bottom, or a blue at the top and a white at the bottom... You see, that's the problem, I can't find which way round it's meant to be, and my google-fu is failing me. From the perspective of windows on a 747 or something, what's the correct way?

(examples I've found on Dakka: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/544722.page#5924006 http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/519373.page#5481996, plus a few others the other way up!)

Welp, this is what I've ended up with:

Hope it's the right way round, but just happy to have it finished.

It looks good to me. I would say its the right way as you have the lighter bit on the top (where the sun would be normally).
