Fairline's made a mustang? Where might I find it?

[techumseh]

His Thunderbolt and Mustang are responsible.

They drew the Skyraider?

You could say so- without their painstaking effort it could never have been done.

Hmmm, apparently I was wrong. The F9 was the first carrier jet. The F2 was second and was chosen because of its bigger engines and ability to do high altitude flights. Even embarrased the air force when test flights showed it could catch the B36 Peacemaker.

Here's an F2 Banshee, an F9 Panther (minor changes from last post), and a Kriegsmarine Me-262.

Excellent work, Harry

[Harry Tuttle]

Thanks!

[fairline]

That's a canny looking set of planes Harry

I think I've cracked it - I've started drawing stuff without remembering it

Credit where it's due Typhoon - that's a great unit that owes very little to it's original 'donors'

[Harry Tuttle]

Thanks Fairline. Couldn't have done it without your color scheme.

Very sharp, indeed. I assume that the American jets are in historical paint, and the German one involves a bit of imagination?

[Eivind IV]

Very beutilful! Great job!

[Harry Tuttle]

Well the American jets are pretty darn close. Typically in that time period the color scheme was a darker blue, almost midnight in fact or just unpainted (to lower weight). The insignia is typical for the variations I could find on the internet.

The Kriegsmarine Me262, which is just repainted of course from Fairline's Me262, is purely fictional.

Which reminds me, no sig on that, I'll have to repost when I get home.

What colour would you want the F-86 to be Harry? Should I give her the same scheme as your F-2 and F-9 or leave her basic grey for you to change however you see fit?
