P-38 pilot makeover

[Devil 505]

I'm just going crazy on details for these skins.  I want to raise my bar for skin quality and detail this time.

It's a hell of an improvement.

How do you go about colorizing a B/W image?

I found this site to colorize B&W photos - its not automatic though - you have to do the painting and adjusting yourself.

I think both Christensen and Kearby looked pretty good. Now .... what I'd love to see would be Blackburn in Greebo's VF-17 skin and Kepford in Saxman's VF-17 skin. I'm not sure what the original skinners would have to say about it, though.





The other side of me would be just as happy to see celebrity pilots ....

LOL Robert Conrad might work - its a nice large image with the right amount of color.   But I'd hafta put him in a '51 or a '38, not a F4U.

Do we have Kearby's "Fiery Ginger" P-47D-11 skin?   That would make a nice spot for him...

Blasphemy! Put McQueen in a 38.

+1 on that - the lad in the middle BTW is wearing prosthetic legs. Anyone guess his name? And his two buds? (hint - the lad on the left is a Canadian from Calgary (born in Edmonton) - William Lidstone "Willie" McKnight)
