• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

Port side only.

As for the stickers, I'll try to find something. If not, just put something in German with a communist context on it (like "GENOSSEN" or so).

Yep, got that...and noticed I'd forgotten the star near the top of the Q...so fixed.
I'll do a bit of a general search on East German aircraft and see if I can make sense of the arrows.....but pretty sure they won't say 'do not touch'...;)
 
Bjoern...I went with 'Vordach Bedecken' as there appears to be 2 lines...;)

Hopefully that doesn't actually translate as 'your hovercraft is full of jellied eels'.

Meanwhile...Viper's one is coming...slowly...at least the underside is done. Looks like the top of the wings will be a pain too...;)

That sounds awful. Make it "NOTÖFFNUNG KABINE" or so.
 
Now there's nothing wrong with Monty Python quotes...
You telling me that I really did say 'jellied eels, etc' in my text? ...;)
 
OK...changed it to "NOTÖFFNUNG KABINE" .... now if that incites werewolves to attack me in my sleep then you're to blame...;)

My German eddikayshun dates back to 1970... in high school at the age of 16...;)
 
OK....the fuse is 'done' [apart from the fade of the red stripes towards the tail].....just the top of the wings....much of which I'll have to guess/approximate...;)

It takes ages just finding a font....like the 'L-139' on the tail....that's 'Liberal', BTW.
 
Jafo, you're obviously a very prolific, as well as exceptionally good painter. Would you have any interest in doing a Frecce Tricolori paint?
 
Viper....I do it for fun [as all skinning should be done]...some of which is a challenge...either/and with complexity/lack of detail info....like these wings. The bottom was almost easier...the top has little documentation.

Bone....thanks for the vote of confidence....you'll need to post some pics/links so I know what to look at/for...;)
 
I had to skew...perspective...resize...deform just to work out what the wing image was...then blow it up a tad...but with a little more cleanup to do....this is how it painted.
Whether or not it's 100% accurate is anyone's guess....I suppose if I can pose it like the original photo and it's passable then that'll do...;)

[I'll do the other wing too]...;)
 
N1390A is done. I put in a few of Matt's notes to add detail [poetic license]....looks like they weren't reapplied after the paint....;)

I'll upload it shortly...;)
