Okay, Jack, a quick search of WIX didn't produce an original photo of this bird in wartime. Can you please assist?

Now lets see the unique weather staining pattern copied too. :D

All kidding aside, she looks gorgeous, and I'm really looking forward to the first A2A shots! I love the hand-painted nose art especially, and that intake flap behind the exhaust is a very nice B/C-model detail. One more reason why I will need to travel out to see some west-coast shows eventually.

Alright Jack, I can see the Natives are getting restless! Post away. Keep in mind the wings are only primer....we have not completed the markings and still have major parts to paint.....it's still in process and only 30 degrees in Boise! (

Our friend Ross Parton is the artist and he is exceptional! We discussed how and what we wanted and he simply nailed it. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for the "old school" sign painter touch!.

Hello JCP, we are restless when we see good work being done and waiting for someone to put some air under those wings..... :wink:
