VB-2 pre war themed BR 37J1 jacket

[Griffon_301]

Hey guys!

As some of you might have read, I had commissioned Miroslav to make a pre war VB-2 patch to go onto my BR 37J1 jacket.
I was inspired by a well known picture of Boone Guyton standing in front of a VB-2 SB2U Vindicator and wearing a 37J1 adorned with the squadron patch.
Unfortunately I did not find a good rendition of the VB-2 emblem on the net but I was lucky to discover that I had a book about USN pre war aircraft color schemes that had a fairly good rendition of said patch in it. Miroslav agreed to proceed on what little information and template I could provide and today, I picked up the end result from the mail.
What should I say? - one word "stunning"!
Miroslav did a magnificent work and I will surely have him do another patch or two for me...I can just wholeheartedly recommend him! A great guy to talk to and deal with!
Oh and before I forget...pictures are included as well
Thank you so much Miroslav for doing a great job, I am satisfied beyond expectation ... Now it will be up to Fardin from Whitefeather to get the patch onto the jacket

Cheers from Vienna

Love it. Guyton and his white helmet are definitely going in the 37J1 look book.

He had an interesting career. Read about him here.

He also wrote a great book about his experiences...

I am still undecided if I should place the patch on the opposite side of the USN stencil or if I should place it over the stencil admin Guytons jacket...

What do you guys think?

Both ways sound good. Nice work!
