Outer yellow Roundal is 1mm too small, and whole roundal needs to be position 0.4 cm to the right.

You have to admit the Finnish schemes are wonderful….

There should be more of them. Buffalo travel in herds.

I really can’t see what is wrong with this picture!!
Can anyone help me!!

P.S that’s no buffalo! A DHC5 is a buffalo!!
PP.S Its a variety of cow that lives on the plains of Africa:D

For those who are genuinely puzzled by Osprey’s lack of recognition skills…

They do mock up covers for all of their forthcoming books, usually created by taking the aircraft type from a previous cover and pasting it onto a generic background. In this case, they have never troubled us artists to paint a Buffalo before so the poor designer, probably on a Friday afternoon, stuck a Spitfire on the cover, switched his computer off and went down the pub…

I’ll be painting the actual cover in a couple of months’ time, just got half a dozen others to get through first…

I did wonder, as the artwork appears over on Amazon, though to be honest I didn’t see when the book was released…

and don’t give us a bum ‘steer’!:D

Come on then Daz. It doesn’t look like anybody is going to get it. Tell us.

The left radiator appears to be missing?

well, therein lies part of the problem… I, as a designer (having nothing to do with Osprey) actually know a few things about aviation – and have designed and produced more than a handful of aviation titles – I eagerly exit my ‘office’ for the nearby watering hole, but professionalism dictates that nothing ‘wrong’ ever goes to press from my desk.

5 bladed prop?? An early one in the series and not one of mine!

One ‘artwork’ fits all.:)

And they both have five bladed props! the 91 Squadron book is a keeper though. Nicely done even if the XII has a 5 bladed prop on it!

Did I mention the XII has a five bladed prop on it? 🙂

:confused::rolleyes:

It’s wings are too big for the book cover,they need clipping.:D

:confused::rolleyes:

That Buchon isn’t in Spanish colours:diablo: ?

Odd though, can’t see the image or book on the Osprey site but Amazon especially do show different covers (the recent Skyraider, P-36 and F4U Korean books for example) – maybe they do some artwork to show something other than a “TBC”?

The real question is….will it be at Legends????

For “other” Sky read Ocean Grey.

Here we go again. 🙂

Mark

I wasn’t going to mention that :p

Ha, that easy, there’s not any Whirlwinds in view… 😀

No invasion stripes- all Spitfires have them…..:rolleyes:

I was going to mention the bit of blue “sky” between the stbd trailing edge and the fuselage, was a different colour to all the “other” sky…….
