Dave,
An 8th AF version I would vote for is "Hurry Home Honey" flown by Richard Peterson. That said, the 9th and 15th Air Forces have some less-remembered "greats" as well. Also, I think that there is a good amount of reference material for some of the Iwo Jima Mustangs... an under-represented lot. Ryan

remember, I don't like to consider an aircraft unless I have seen some original photos and historical info.
There are some very pretty profile artworks out there, but they're quite often not a very accurate source of paint scheme information. A lot of artists that paint these profile artworks take a little bit of artistic license... and not every artist works from original photos and eyewitness data. Over time, memories, facts and artwork images can degrade like copies of copies of copies. ... having said all that, I must admit I do like Mark Styling's work! ... and Sweet Arlene is already on my list. (I have some original photos)

I totally agree with your reasoning, however. Ryan

OK, that doesn't lead right to the artwork i was talking about, but if you click on it and follow directions it will get you there! "To err is human, to really foul things up requires a computer!"

-Latest update copied from my Forum-
Well...print out is GOOOOD! I am very happy with the way the colours and details have printed on my little Home printer. I set the output to "Fine" (higher dpi)...but did not alter the colour (I have a "vivid" colour setting on my Brother printer for increased saturation) The rivets are not overpowering if you ask me...and would blend in more if you opted for low to normal res printing. (Most home printers are set to "normal" or a middle quality resolution as default) I'm using an average quality 65lb cardstock and the absorption rate is pretty good. Glossy papers would be a lot sharper...but i still don't think the rivets will be a big issue. Since I have decided on a first paint scheme and I have the basic fuselage parts done, I am able to start a test build. I can assemble the front and rear halves of the fuselage, but I won't be able to attach them until I get the Cockpit parts done. heres where I am so far... (one thing I did notice and fixed this morning, is the colour transition over the Prop Spinner parts. However this might be the only aircraft model with an unpainted spinner, so it isn't really a big issue)
