At this point I decided I didn’t like the base color and repainted it..

Finished pic’s..
TBD..


HELP ME.. how should I finish it?..

Thanks..

These are my questions to the team…. I’m looking for your feedback here..


It’s missing something (s).. I think??

It feels like its missing the following to me..
Bullet holes
Rivets
Shading under the girls legs and butt?
Do I do anything with the lettering (Problem child)? I’m thinking about shading or 3-d the letters in white or black?
Should the camels be a different color? Do I need to draw a line though them or is it just understood.. (yes) I know the camels weren’t in the WWII era but they do represent today’s conflict war so I added them.. (too much)??

I would like to add everything above But at the same time I don't wont to overpower / clutter it too..

So again any thoughts would be cool..

Make the lines and rivets a little darker, and try to pain in some "Metal fatigue" :D

I vote for rivets and oil streaks. I've never seen an old airplane that did not have both.

Ok.. that’s kinda what I thought.. Rivet lines and age it with oil and dirt streaks..

Should I also add rust marks to the rivets too or is that to much?

Thanks again for your time and comments..

Dirt but no rust, I'm pretty sure the skin and rivets are alloy.

Love the "Nose Art" motif!

The only thing that kind of stuck out was the shape of the "star" being a little off. If you can tweak that further, it will look even sharper.

Well done!

Nicely done. VF-31, the Felix the cat, was onboard the Lincoln when I was. I helped fix a lot of their birds during several different deployments, F-14 Tomcats.

Seems like a snowball effect with you here. Very entertaining and inspirational.


Although I might add that here in NJ my cases will have to remain neutral for practical proposes. We have enough problems with transport issues.
