  Excellent

Thanks guys, I've gotta get this done, my paint brushes are calling me and I must obey .  Can't wait to see more of yours.

This is real masterwork   

[felixdk]

This is something that I do when painting these things and I'm wondering if anybody else does this to have a palette of the colors that they've used for, say, shadows, etc.  You can, of course, just erase it when the painting is done.

Yes, I normally work with swatches, very useful,

By the way, may I use the colors you have pointed out in my swatch ?

Off course you can use- take attention about combination of colors and opacity. All you can see on Felix art

Help needed,

Does any one knows were I can see a clear image of the marking (see attached image) seen in the aircraft of 1 Lt Charles "Chick" Cleveland of the 334Th F.I.S. "Lady Luck"
also, if possible, a link to photos of the above aircraft

All the help will be very much appreciated

That's the insignia of the 4th Fighter Interceptor Wing (they started out as the RAF Eagle Squadron in WWII).  I know that I've got it several places, but you should be able to find it through Google search.

  I take it back, that insignia applies only to the 334th FIS.  The size and orientation (facing forward or back) of the insignia seems to vary from plane to plane, so it would be helpful if we could find a photo of that particular a/c.

Metar,

  Feel free to sample to your heart's content .

I'm presently goggling for the insignia, with no luck so far I'm afraid

Let us see with more persistence

For insignias I found a very nice link

Here's another one that comes in handy.  They have a section on unit heraldry http://afhra.maxwell.af.mil/

Beautiful basis to build upon  .  The natural metal schemes seem to be popular.  I guess everyone likes a challenge .
