[gaucho_59]

I have finallly arrived to Vilseck....

Hallo,

I did see the nice and interesting pictures for the Liore et Olivier 45 panel.
I can you please tell me if the panel is somewhere to download ?
I' m also interested about all the french aircraft panels out of this era.
If I only can get pictures to make the panels my self I would still be glad.

yours
Papi

staying in hotels so I have not gotten set up here yet (I am in a room at the transient quarters in
Vilseck so I am still living out of a suitcase) so as soon as I ccan I will send you the bmp.. I have
not done a config for it yet....

P-39 wide panel... some touch ups...

Thought I'd add a few cosmetic touch ups to complete the wonderful panel posted by Morton...
here and there... some bolts, reflections, gun sight shadow, etc.
As usual, available via PM... (not easy working on a laptop and on the go... but I think the
resulting image is quite O.K.)

Jet Provost profile... back in the groove!

Here is a fresh new profile...
As usual, available via PM... (getting better at working on a laptop and on the go... think I
will do a texture if I find the right model... does anyone know of a good one?)

you have taste Gaucho! i recently finished a profile art Piece for a Jet Provost Demonstration pilot here in the uk (a good friend of mine and on sale via himself at shows he attends) and have been working a T-6 for a client also

yeah... my buddy let me in the JP3A, as after my PPL + 100hrs that's where i'm headed, course on that and potentially also the Hunter....

 

[gaucho_59]

Yeah... I saw this photo in your Facebook ...

Your profiles are masterful... when I saw your photos in Facebook, I thought... how nice.. in England they let you sit on the cockpit... at air shows... lol
but I guess this is only for VIPs...
Actually, at some USAF air shows they let the public sit for pics... I am in Germany now... so I might catch a ride to England before I leave...
btw.. thinking about doing a Hunter profile too.. probably in some exotic foreign livery... I think you are doing great with the profiles... (back at the Palms
Springs Air Museum, there might be some interest -they sell a lot of memorabilia stuff - when I go back I could show an example and get your some prices
they would pay...

a Hunter you say...... on my Works in Progress i have Hunter T.7 (Very early days in work, lots to add) & Likely T.8M, MiG-21bis, P-51D, F-16, T-6, T-6A Texan II, Tiger moth, new iterations of Meteor (both T.7 and NF.11), Robin 2160 & Cessna 172, completed i have VC-10, my gen1 Meteors, Dragon Rapide, Percival Prentice, Auster AOP.9, Jet Provost and DHC-1 Chipmunk....

I got to sit in the JP as it's display pilot/owner is a friend of mine and he's offered me a flight up in the thing when we can arrange it, then again i've also sat in Flankers, F-4E's, A-7's... just a matter of talking to the crew... i've got a trip to make up to the Scottish Airshow in Sept as part of the charity artwork i'm currently doing in support of a charity who focuses on STEM program (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths).... kinda easy to see why FS took a bit of a back seat....

 

[gaucho_59]

Here's my Hunter...

I got going this morning and could not stop....
Probably will have to take a relook and change something I missed or need to add...

G.

Great work as ever guys.

Can I offer a few pointers on the Hunter T8M? The shape of the nose looks wrong, and the demarcation line between the Extra Dark Sea Grey and the white undersides should be sharp, not feathered.

Here are a couple of pictures which will, I hope, be of some help.

 

[gaucho_59]

Thanky you very much....

I will rectify things... as I find time to do it...
Thanks again for the pointers...

[gaucho_59]

My best on short notice.. lol

This is about the best I can do - save for starting the profile all over again... and I'd rather
spend the time on another project.. lol
Hope it more reasonable meets expectations.. Thanks again for the pointer...

Looking better. Hope you didn't take offence; I could never do work like that, I just don't have the skill or patience, but it would be a shame to have seen it lessened for such an error.

 

[gaucho_59]

No offense taken....

Absolutely no offense taken... I appreciate any pointers to make things better... Sometimes, certain details are a bit "over the top"... what some folks call "rivet counting"... like specific shades of RLM this or that... because oxidation, U.V. radiation, etc. DO operate to change colors (like cars.. parked outside... the factory color is lost after a while
I was in Viet Nam (1969) and NEVER saw TWO aircraft, trucks, APCs, etc. the same shade or hue of O.D....
Thanks again...
