Hi,

I found the original on the internet....haven't been able to find out what squadron it was made for. Maybe an early draft for the 14th Photo Recon?

The start:

First colours:

The plane:

...and here is the current status:

It would be great if somebody can give me some hint about the origin / squadron!

Ties, that's a fine piece of draughtsmanship - Walt himself would have been proud to have executed that...

Or Tex Avery! Superb work.

Of course, Loony Tunes

I stand corrected Mac

No luck as to squadron, looks like someone else has been looking for a couple of years.

Peter,

no, just a degree from law schol and a couple of years in the PR business. Actually, I get my money for talking but hey, that's something you gotta be creative, too!

All the best Jeff

Hi Jeff,

thanks for the info!

That's what I thought...well, should be even more fun to do the late version

Ties, i've said it before but from someone who draws everyday for a crust your quality of linework, proportion and brushwork are superb.

just learning from you, Jerome and the others...

If you don't mind then I would really like to paint your patch design, maybe this weekend...seems as if I am in "Bunny mood"...

Ties you have set the bar much higher than I can ever achieve ,I can paint but not to the level you do .My problem the smaller the drawing the more I struggle with getting the subject sharp especially with expressions on cartoon type faces .I would love to see your painted version of the 530th BS patch .All the best Jeff

 

[Andrew]

Ties, give up your day job, that is excellent work. Next time I get a painted patch i'll check how long your waiting time is .

What kind of paints are you using?

 

[Vcruiser]

You certainly have talent,Ties!

No, but this is the original draft from the 40s.

Currently I am just reproducing this stuff.Hopefully, on day I would be able to put more own creativity into these things...

the patch with bugs riding the P-38 is the first design for the 435th Fighter Squadron when of course they flew P-38's they later switched to P-51's and went to the second design of the 435th of an american eagle standing on a cloud holding a 50 cal machine gun under wing and there are some stars above him on a ringed round background ,this one was for thier P-51 era.
