New Air Art

[GaryChildress]

Hi Paradigmblue, I'll give it a go on a D.520 in the near future. Still working on some earlier 1930s A/C for the moment. Bleriot-Spad s.510 is attached below.

I'd love to see a Dewoitine D.520 if you have the chance.

Hi Paragigmblue, I haven't forgotten. Working on D-520 now. I have the side complete. Still need to work on the tops. I'll probably have to finish tomorrow as I'm about to leave.

If i may give my opinion regarding the french ones, the blue circle seems too big compared to the roundel size.

See http://cocardes.monde.online.fr/v2html/ ... rance.html and attached picture.

That's gorgeous Gary, thank you.

Would you mind if I suggested a few others for Focus Pacific? I don't want to impose.

Hi Skyland,

Thanks for the feedback. I looked closer and think I had the colors on the emblems a little off as well. How do these look, the ones that say "after"?

Sure, what plane sides would you like?

[el cid again]

Can you do a Ku-8 Gandor - better still of one being towed? It is more or less a Ki-34 without engines.

And the previews...

Absolutely beautiful Gary.

Here's a full wish list for Focus Pacific. Anything you could do would be fantastic!

French Aircraft:

Breguet Br700 C2 - Twin engine fighter. Two paint jobs, one for the C2 and one for the D.
Arsenal VG-33 - Light fighter. Three paint jobs - one for the VG-33, one for the 39 and one for the 60)
Amiot 354 - Medium Bomber
Bloch MB.174A.3 - Medium Bomber Three paint jobs - one for the 174A.3, one for the 175B.3 and one for the torpedo carrying 175T.
Bloch MB.162 - 4E Bomber
LeO 451 - Medium Bomber. Three paint jobs: 451,455, and the French Navy version 451M.
LN.401 - Carrier based Dive Bomber. Two paint jobs in French Navy colors, the LN.401 and the LN.42.
Potez 671
Latecoere Late.299 - Carrier based Torpedo Bomber
Dewoitine D.790 - Carrier version of the D.520
SNCASE SE.100 - Twin Engine Fighter (Two paint jobs would be great on this one as well)
Morane MS.450 - Fighter (Two paint jobs would be great)

Skyland - I know you have a lot of French art, let me know if I'm asking Gary to duplicate something that's already been done in the quality of the War Options plane sides.

US Planes
F5F-1 Skyrocket (1941-1942 USN Paint Schemes)
P-50 Skyrocket (1941-1942 USAAF Paint Schemes)
P-65 Skyrocket (1943-45 USAAF Paint Schemes)
F5F-3 Skyrocket (Navalized P-65, with the longer nose of the P-50/65 rather than the sub nose of the F5F-1, 1943-45 USN paint schemes)
P-63A and D King Cobra in USAAF paint scheme

Dutch Planes
CW-21C in a new paint scheme for a fictional variant in Focus Pacific operating 1942 onwards.
Dutch DB-7 in Navy Blue or Grey Blue (for the torpedo variant)
Dutch Vengeance I

I know that the Skyrockets have been done before, and I appreciate those artist's work, but I don't know if it's really been done justice yet. I'd love to see your take on it.

I know that this is a big list, and that your time is valuable. Thank you for whatever you're able to get to.

Hey, X-mas already? I'm in with 2 wishes, too. [:)]
Nakajima G10N Fugaku
G8N Renzan

Those are of low to no importance, however, since I would just use them in my next campaign game.

[GaryChildress]

For some reason I got possessed by the air art bug today and created a Handley Page Halifax Mk III in South East Asia markings and color. Inexplicable.

Preview.

[Korvar]

Looks great - doubly so considering that plane sides are NOT easy to do.

One observation - is it me or does the nose look a little narrow? I admit complete ignorance when it comes to the Halifaxes, so it is more likely error on my part than yours.

But compare to this image - maybe this is a different Mk?

[GaryChildress]

I think the line drawing I was working with didn't have the little node on the front just forward of the little antenna underneath. If you remove it then there is a little bit more slope on the front.

[Korvar]

Makes sense - do you intend to do more camo schemes for rotating art or are you on to the next airframe?

[GaryChildress]

Just doing whatever strikes my fancy right now. I haven't done much with WitP in a long time but for some reason just felt like doing some art for old time sake. [:)]
