I kinda like Guppy's black bomber as well. Krusty's first one looks real nice but somehow I don't think it would come out all that well in a patch.

OK, Guppy's black-bomber patch is coming out ahead in the comments.

One suggestion.  I was over Roscoroo's house the other week, and Mrs. Roo was looking over the patch candidates.  She suggested a silver outline around the black bomber.  Guppy, what do you think of that?  It would separate the outline from the German cross.



Also, I think it will be much easier to make as a patch if the letters are solid (no breaks down middle of the letter).  Could we get that modified and get a "TM" superscript on "Aces High"?

Is the TM necessary, or is it just being polite towards HTC? I'm curious because sometimes it's hard to squeaze it in.

Consider you've got a background, a blue, a white on top of that blue, a red, a black on top of that red and a white on top of that black, then the black of the bomber on top of it all... Is a silver outline on the bomber even possible at this point?

TM is perhaps not absolutely necessary, but I think it fits in OK.

An outline is definitely fine -- we aren't overrunning available colors of thread.

Howdy, all.

I'm going to start on the patch as in the previous pic.  It looks good, and I need to get going on it before Rangoon, '42 runs.

I'll send out an e-mail and ask for donations, too, as the patch fund has about $40 in it currently.

The good news is that the DGS patch process will be finallys starting. :)

Folks, the initial sewout of the Der Grosse Schlag patch is in.

Don't worry about the fact that it is out of round -- I'll get that taken care of.

The question I have isn't about that but about the following.  They did the letters and inside circle border out of blue instead of black.  However, it looks nice with blue.  It think we should keep it as blue.  What do folks here think of blue letters vs. black letters?

Blue looks nice, but I'm not picky.  After reading a few posts up, I was wondering if there was going to be an outline added to the bomber or was it decided to be left off?  Either way, I think it looks good.  I'll be sending in my donation.   :aok

The patches are in, and they are beauties.  Thanks, Guppy!  They look better in real life than in this scan, even.  The texture of the stitching makes it 3D-ish in a very nice way.



So, time to let Roscoroo know if you want one (roscoroo at hotmail.com).  There are some folks who donated a lot toward this one -- you guys, please feel free to request however many patches of whatever sorts you would like.  The ones still available are shown here:

I'll send out an e-mail as well to the pilots of Der Grosse Schlag telling everyone that the patches are in.
