An original Varga would have been published in Esquire Magazine and would have been covered up, right? Can you scan the original atwork for comparison?

The plane looks great!

Here's a little something on Joaquin Alberto Vargas y Chávez in case anyone is interested:

I like it as well. Big improvement on the previous job.

Question for you, Dave. Is Ed Schnepf still associated with Executive Sweet at all? If so, what is his affilliation? Just curious.

I love the artwork, hate the PC part of it.

He should have painted it au-natural, and gotten some vinyl cut to be placed where neccesary when neccesary.

Very nice, but screw the PC crowd. It would have been much better in the original form, but I don't own a B-25 then do I. :)
