55th Fighter Group Mustangs

Is anyone planning to skin a Mustang from the 55th Fighter Group? We had one before the model updates and it was definately my favorite Pony to fly around..

How bout "Da Quake"

Seems an appropriate name for some of our AH types

*drools* Nice Dan..

But I definately like the yellow tail the best..

Both would be very nice additions.

Of the ones I've seen, I think I like Miss Marilyn II the best.. Yellow tail and red stripe down the side. But that yellow on yellow does look sexy I have to admit..

I like her even better, since it has the red line/ yellow tail

I've looked up those pictures on airliners.net from Miss Velma. It seems to have red colored nose art instead of the green in the picture. Is this accurate?

Hey guys i started to work on the Miss Velma. Its way from finished still but, i'd like some advice about the colors.

For some reason im not getting the color i have in photoshop and in the pictures for the nose cone.. can someone explain how to get this right?

I know about the wings and tail not done and all, im just focusing on the colors atm.

From The Warlords, vol. 1....

The green used was very dark, probably the available camouflage shade, US Medium Green 42, or RAF Dark Green.  It has been illustrated somewhat lighter in this book, purely to show that it is green, and avoid confusion with any other groups colorurs

So, the green is reeeealy dark.

And, that yellow demarcation stripe on the fuselage between the NM and green should be red.

Oh yeah, upper horizontal stabs should be the same green as on the fuselage with white ETO bands instead of black.
