That last one more closely resembles the view the Axis had, that's for sure!

I like it, maybe some color text, but I like it alot.

Looks good, but i'd add some more colour.

Perhaps add sky blue for the background in the sight area, but keep the text background as it is?

I suggest taking out the flak bursts and taking out some of the smaller aircraft.  Patches sometimes have trouble with smaller features looking right (unless you are OK with just a generic airplane shape).

For example, I'm having a lot of problems with getting the airplanes to look OK in Husky patch design -- that is what is taking so long to deal with.

The patch is looking good, by the way!  I like both ideas (multiple planes and one big one).

Remove the flak and the smaller AC, leaving a 3 bomber formation in the crosshairs?

Hmm, I like that :)

When designing patches remember that AH patches are sewn, not printed, which gives certain restrictions to detailing but it also makes them quite unique.

Eg. the angle of the bomber in midi's design is good because the outlines are nearly horizontal and vertical giving a clear shape when sewn. It is possible however that the smaller bombers may have their engines sewn too close together making it look rather odd. If the plane will have more oblique angles it may have to be bigger to give it enough detail to be recognizable.

I think 3 is a good number of planes and maybe of slightly different sizes.

-C+

PS.Maybe one version with map outlines of Germany behind bombers? Only outlines because if it is filled with some colour the colour is also sewn on patch which somewhat reduces the accuracy of objects sewn on top of that surface. That would probably also translate to one guideline: If you are going to make small details on patch make them on base colour of the patch so any other sewing under the details will not distort them. Although I'm not sure if the makers are enthusiastic about making patterns on the base colour only...


Edt. One nice base for B-17, more oblique angles but he angle is nice: http://sill-www.army.mil/Graphics/aircraft/b17.jpg

Found this too, sry a bit OT: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/mharneyma/image/b17sunf.jpg

loboxx,
I thought ROC was losing it for a minute when he said,
"Check the Op Husky Patch thread a few notches downstairs.",
then I remembered it had been a while...had to open up the threads from 45 days ago to get it to show, but you've probably already figured that out.
