P-80 is definitely doable. Send me reference photos or let me know what unit markings you want me to put on them and it'll happen. For now I am concentrating on a/c already in the DB.

Pretty sure Platoonist already did the P80.

Oh.... Don't give me an old shooting star, she goes but not very far,
She'll rumble and spout, and surely flame out,
don't give me an old shooting star.

Elf, would you be willing to do a P66 colorization for me? I've got a sideview of one but not colorized. Not sure if they would use it in the update but possibly in Chinese markings since they had most usage of it. The US only had one group that used it in game but then upgraded to P38's, in game I think it's a P36 or 40B at start. I'm working on alot of Chinese air units that I've mentioned to Don, maybe they'd be interested in using my info. I've got it in gif, jpeg & bmp format, which would work better for you if you're willing?

When I was doing the 3D ships I sure that the Japanese ships was done by a differant artist to the one that did the Allied art the detail in the Japanese ships wa snot as good as the Allied
I got Photoshop the other day and as I had never tried the normal 2D ship art started doing some for practice and to learn to pros and cons of Photoshop. I will do more but concentrate
on the not so go Japanese ships

you may be able to to make use of the results if you can I will send to you the originals

I’m working with my old art files, upgrading and reworking them, right now I’m trying to add propellers to Allied a/c profiles… many of them are too big to have a propeller, looks like I have to redo some of these… may be there is something else here to improve or change? Brightness, colors… scale? Any ideas?

Hey Sub,
I've been collecting side art profiles for the past few weeks. Got quite a variety. Would you like them for reference/ideas?

Hi

some nice work , the only fault i can see is they appear quite bright any chance of 'greying ' them down a touch.

Cheers
