Tried my hand this evening at creating my own original air art which I hope will blend in well with Cathartes' original AE air art. I think it came out pretty good so I’m going to try more of them eventually. Unlike my previous air art this is not just a cut, paste and shrink job created from another artists finished product. Rather I created it using a black and white line drawing which I fleshed out. I believe this is similar to the method Cathartes’ used on his plane sides. I believe he started with line drawings for his creations.

Below will be a running preview of all the air art I create using this method. In following posts I’ll attach the actual game files for DL.

Game files for the Nakajima A4N:

This is the drawing that served as the foundation for the plane.

Looks fantastic, thanks Gary.

Thanks Paradigmblue. Here are a few versions of the Ki-10. I'll update the preview in the OP.

What an impressive display of amazing skill.

Very nice Gary !

Very impressive work , Gary! You'll be in demand![:)][;)]

Thanks all. Another plane, Grumman F3F, 3 versions.

Sweet Gary! [&o]

You are becoming the new AE art master. Good to see new goodies being made for us modders. Well done.

Thanks. I'm trying to fill in some planes from the mid 1930s that aren't in AE. Maybe someone could do a mod on a WW2 in the PTO starting in the 1930s. Curtis A-12 Shrike attached below:
