Thank you, While I admit theyre simplistic in difficulty they take me twice as long than normal as i have to work on the basic details on paintshop then import to photoshop to complete it,

dont ask why, im having all sort of problems with photoshop and its easier to do it this way than try and fix photoshop

I'm Facebook Friends with Jim Escalle's nephew, and he's writing a book on Jim's life. I've read a number of excerpts from the book, and there are alot of pics of Jim's time in the Air Force before he got shot down in Korea. I'll let him know you painted the plane.
 
Bone, I think I ran across Jim's nephew when researching The Georgia Peach on the Internet. There were some excerpts on his website about Jim's service. Evidently he flew out one day and never came home. It is an honor to paint Jim's F-86. I will upload The Georgia Peach first.
 
Black USAF

Well let's see just how much trouble this one can get me into. This is a fictional paint of a real aircraft but a fictional pilot and a fictional ground crew chief. It has a fictional start up generator but everything looks cool in the black color.

Even better than the other one
 
Gentlemen...this turns out to be quite exciting!
Your repaints are just soooooo fantastic!

Thank you so much for your time and effort! It is greatly appreciated! :salute:
 
Skyhawk, I have the black base color done, it shouldn't be to hard to make the yellow color. The other black details shouldn't be to hard. I will give it a go. Love doing this aircraft and with each paint I learn something about the paint kit.
