Patches for my "humpjacket" project

[Flightengineer]

In the last month there were few flights and a lot of time at home.
I made these two patches on leather for my new project - plan to turn my old AVI A2 into a hump pilot jacket.
This patches were drawn by me under the impression of the photos of the hump pilot's jackets from the book American Flight Jackets, Airmen & Aircraft.





The size of the ATC patch is 5 inches, the shoulder patch of CBI is 3 inches tall (my thanks to @ties70 and to @wittmann for theit help with clarification and information about CBI patch correct size and proportions).

Thanks, you mean ATC patch?

The very one. I remember reading somewhere that the dashes round the top edge are supposed to spell out something in Morse code.

Yes, red-white -blue marking represent Morse code dits and dush and reads as ACFC - Air Corps Ferrying Command (May 1941 - May 1942), AFFO - Air Forces Ferrying Command ( to June 1942), AFATC - Air Forces Air Transport Command (to July 1945).
On my patch is AFATC cause I wanted to reproduce period 1943-44

Awesome work, did you just use a standard leather paint ?

Thank you.

Yes, as usually I used acrylic paints for fabric and leather, bit old look and aging with wash for scale models (thanks Thomas for this idea, I used just paint for this before).

This is Pebeo Setacolor paints.

As you know this drawing process sometimes captivate more than the final result. Apparently like any creative work.
