The markings were a challenge and not just to the scalpel but OK in the end.<br />CTA do some interesting stuff - I have their "Welcome to the Jungle sheet" - not convinced by their colour recommendations always or by the blue in their insignia but worth having. Never seen that film (whatever it is) so don't know about the Gnat scheme - never mind it came free. They often have deals on postage on facebook and also available on ebay.<br />cjw_1954https://www.blogger.com/profile/05864106639518369821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848437078181345610.post-76276698672643796002018-06-12T07:16:54.635-07:002018-06-12T07:16:54.635-07:00Yes, it could be great to have carrier diorama wit...Yes, it could be great to have carrier diorama with piston-engined Skyraider and nuclear-armed supersonic Vigilante standing side by side. Or just WW2 designed Skyraider from nuclear-powered supercarrier. <br />As of FJ-3, situation was complicated not by colour profile but this: http://www.afwing.com/gallery/jolly_rogers/61fury.jpg Here, as well as on your photo of E215, it seems that fuselage band have thin lighter outline. Is it an illusion, some effect on film or white outline of darker (yellow) band? At first decision was to give white band and thinner yellow one separately, but there were no enough free space on the sheet. So it ended as a white-outlined yellow band only for it had been considered that to paint solid white band is much easier than an outlined one.<br />As of eclectic product line, CtA for now decided to specialize on carrier-borne aircraft, of all countries and periods. As of requests - well, who knows, may be one day they would show us an Enterprise timeline. ;) At least I've already opted for one particular Ent's bird. <br />And yes, thanks for appreciation of CtA's work - sometimes there is a little bit of mine in it too.Snorryhttp://snorska.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.com
