Any of you guys out there that do profiles.
I need a volunteer to make me a P-40N profile.
This has nothing to do with a paint scheme for a restored P-40N :wink:

Hi Jack,

you can count on me for sure if you would like. In this moment I work to release order for book and have few other small orders but for sure I will be able to do it for you.

And off course- I never made profile based on preserved aircraft. Only based on aircraft archive images. In the signature you have my web site where is displayed my works [note links Profiles and Gallery] and also feel free to visit my art portfolio.

It is on you :P

Cheers :D

Just a word of advice: It'd probably be best to find an artist that has already done a P-40. Since most of the work involved in producing a quality profile is in the research, both you and the artist will benefit from the heavy-lifting being out of the way already. And, if the guy works digitally, he may have pre-existing and easily customized art available. In both cases, you're more likely to get a deal.

There are a lot of quality profilers out there. (more than I though, judging from this thread).

Tom Tullis gets my recommendation: http://www.tullisart.com/

I'd volunteer myself, but I'm overloaded with work at the moment. Looks like you have plenty of good options, though!

Rich, is it time to change the name to Capt. Dann ? If so, congratulations !

Nice P-40 that you did. Where's the sharkmouth ? :lol:

Pin on the Eagles on May 01. Then I'll be Cap'n Dann.

Pretty happy with the way the P-40 book came out

I haven't seen your book yet but did just order it. Looking forward to it!
Wish I'd known about it. I'd have thrown a couple hundred photos your way :!:

Jack,

I managed to scrounge up a pretty fair collection, but it is still not as complete as I'd like it. I am light on XP-40Q, P-40F and L and Russian sam-el-ot-yy (Russian for airplane)

Working on B-18, P-26, and SBD/A-24 books at the moment.

I've got some good SBD shots and some P-40Fs.
Do you like them ripped open some you can see inside :shock:
BTW what HSL sqd where you in?
My step-dad flew a bit with HSL-36 at Mayport in the SH-2F Seasprite.

I was able to come up with some pretty interesting French, Chilean and Mexican A-24/SBDs. Still looking for unique USAAF A-24s, especially the two that were in Dayton up to about 1950.

Did you see my P-40 profiles on my web page? Anything close to what you need?

Ripped open is good too. Especially for Merlin P-40s. I have some SBD that way. You just don't see enough photos of their guts.

I was in HSL-43, the Battlecats. SH-60Bs as original equipment. Made two deployments including Desert Storm on USS Mobile Bay. By the way, momentum is gaining for the celebration of the Centennial of Naval Avaition in 2011. I'm pushing for a 30s retro paint scheme on an F/A-18
