Ja Worsley: I will be doning both the Tracker, the Tracer and the COD some time in the future. As you noticed i only do US NAVY aircrafts, but should somebody request a print from other airforces, I´ll a profile of any aircraft requested !

BIGVERN1966: I use ver. 11 . I convert the drawing to a bitmap with 300 dpi, then transfer it to photopaint, where i open it with a resolution of 500 dpi and a length of about 50 cm. Then save it as a Tiff file…..so that the way i do it ! What kind of aircrafts do you do ? I love to see and example of your work..could you e-mail me an example ?

Profile Drawer

I’ve done mostly Briitish RFC / RAF / RN Types (about 120 in total along with four French WWI aircraft operated by a RFC Sqn and threee WWII US Types operated by the RAF (Airacobra, Mustang III, Havoc I (Pandora) (P-39C / P-51C/A-20 to the guys on your side of the pond)). The only other US type I’ve done is attached. Profiles were drawn in Coraldraw V6 as a patchwork of colours and exported at 300 DPI at A4 size file was then opened in Photoshop V5 and the rest was done with layers and the other goodies in the package. The Phantom FGR2 (F-4M) was my second attempt at a profile and was done for a Squadron Histroy CD (with about 35 over types) the guy I did them for was my Brother who was running the project and we had 1000 copies produced, sponsered bt BAe Systems (could not sell them due to Copyright restrictions on the British MOD stuff that was on it, the CD were given away at a Sqaudron Airshow in may 2004 and at RIAT). The rest were done for a A1 sized Aircraft of RAF Coltishall Poster, of which I had 1000 printed off and have sold about 500 of locally. Most of the profiles are 30 cm long, due to the export problem I had and the requirements of the size of the fininsh items that they were designed for. (Aircraft on the poster were 1-88 scale). Poster shown below. (I suppose that the Gannet, Sea Hornet, Firefly, Swordfish and Albacore (all RN types) would quaifiy the poster for this thread).
