Fifinella, two versions, super difficult with the fine details of the face. the last part to do on this patch and the most tedious. If I screwed it up I'd have to go through hell to salvage it by pulling apart to replace key parts. Luckily, all went well.

Great work Sean as always!

Last time I panted FiFi was for my daughter's kid size A-2:

Nice aging paint and nice jacket. Where can I find one. I'd like to keep my boy in one through the years as he grows, or in several would be more like it.

patches are both splendid

little A2 is cooooooooooooooool

Very beautiful patch .Did you use machine or manually sew those eye lashes?

 

[a2jacketpatches]

Hand guided machine stitch, it's basically bypassing the presser foot and teeth undrneath stretching to where I need it to be. Kind of risky, I probably should use a nice thick thread and hand stitch.

VERY nicely done work on "Fifi" , I did several hand painted ones of her for various people and the facial detail is the most invovlved on them , but it is a very cool patch to do !

I have a question about the background "disc" color on the patches, I have seen "Blue", White" and "Red" for this color background and am curious as to which is the "True" color for it ???????????????

I saw one in the 8th AF musuem in Georgia that was an "original" and it had a white disc background , some also had the unit number and field on the disc too, I assume there were "variations" just like a lot of the Sqd/Group patches had .........................

Wondered that myself, The only official patch I know of is the small blue one. She is completely within a blue disk as opposed to this design where she is larger than the disk. I saw the red, blue, and pink, but not sure if they might be individual Squadrons or something. That's why I made half a dozen Fifis that can be applied to whatever.

Terrific! Here is Urbaniak's version on a Good Wear in Seattle. The other two are originals.

Nice photos, thinking I should put one on red. Anyone got input as to the background disk color variations?

 

[art of a2]

I've seen the background in blue before but the background certainly looks better in red and probably true to the originals..

I WOULD LIKE TO BUY MY WIFE AN A2 or B15C WITH THIS PATCH IT LOOKS AWESOME

Look how small the patch is compared to others.

I've got three Fifis left ready for the backing color of your choice. If anyone wants one let me know, otherwise I'll be making a red, blue and another pink for Ebay within the next few days. 155- through Ebay, 140- here. The two in this post were listed at 8pm and sold by the time I woke in the morning, so i don't think they'll last long.
