Lovin it!
Ties, appreciate your content here with such interesting eye candy, please keep it coming. Would love to see a tutorial about how the shading and highlighting progresses. Very impressed with your end results.

Guys,

here is an update.
I decided to add some mission markings and I have aged the complete back drawing with acetone and Tandy's Eco-Flo Antique Gel.

No flash in the first pic, so it is a little bit dark but the yellow is pretty close to original drawing.

I like the addition of the bombs....and really like the added touch of leaving room for more of them.

Very good, looks to have a perfect patina.

Plan is to add the squadron patch and have the knits changed, as they are kinda blended wool stuff, pilled and smelly.

It will remain an AVIREX, nevertheless, I will try to make the best out of it....

Guys,

here is an update on the "Pawhuska Princess" project.

The knits have been replaced by a local tailor shop, using the correct weave knitwear provided by me.
I have decided to get a set in lighter brown, to have a better contrast then with the original dark brown knits:

As you can see, I did change my mind about the squadron patch and opted for painting it directly on the jacket:

The lining has been stencilled with name and serial #:

And a full front view (which is much too light!!):

Take care!

And finally:

Still an AVIREX, but as such it is not bad...
