B-25…what do you think of the Art Work?

After the roll out of our B-25 last September we contracted for art work to use in the facility for things like T-Shirts.

Before we finalize thought I’d get some opinions…what do you think?

Being a bit picky, the vertical perspective isn’t quite right on the fuselage side markings.

Still very nice though. 🙂

You are free to buy the aircraft & paint it to your satisfaction…

Image markings follow those on the aircraft.

Aircraft follows the photos of the original.

Don’t know quite what to say, it’s the way it was.

Thanks

Tom, just a query, did the wing codes and markings follow the line of the aft spar and not the main one, looks an odd way to do them.

Thanks for all the input everyone, its appreciated

The product line we are developing for production will be the type of art work you see.

Each new image will have one unique feature of the aircraft in colour…in this case Daisy Mae. Others will have different features highlighted depending on what is unique to the aircraft in the collection.

The idea is to highlight the uniqueness and in consultation with staff, members and a selection of non aviation folks the single bit of colour makes the image pop and attracts the eye, while highlighting the unique feature.

Not being an artsy kinda guy I use alot of feed back in making image decisions…one reason I’ve posted the new image here.

Thanks for your specific input

Artwork looks great, but the nose art should also be in black/white.

When operated in the RCAF during the 50s and by 418 Squadron in the Strike role specifically, the upper turrets, tail guns and waist positions were removed.

Instead they had the side mounted gun pods and additional non flexible nose guns for ground attack and strafing.

Thanks for the question

I see no sign of the tail guns.

Were they removed on your aircraft when it was in that paint scheme?
