I was a classically trained graphic artist before computers were the norm. I did not fit into that crowd, either. I found critics and “experts” to be, quite honestly, not my kind of people. When do you start on the Jayhawk? Thor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Hi Thor, I think I’ll wait until Werner Wings releases the conversion and decals..I’d like to finish my Killer Egg also…but I may not be able to resist starting the Jayhawk Yep- not my crowd for sure. I can 100% guarantee that I am the only one from that class of students that went on to be a combat pilot- and that’s ok. It’s a big ‘ol world with room for everyone, regardless of what Bill Gates says Funnily, my right-brain was also a bit out of place in the fighter community, but I was able to visualize/conceptualize things airborne differently than a lot of my peers. It made me an above average formation pilot, and my briefing boards were works of art! cheers Pete cmayer, Oldbaldguy and jenshb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been fortunate enough to work on everything from Piper J3’s, to 747’s. I have also been priveledged enough to work on experimentals, warbirds (P-51D, B-25J, T-6G, T-28C, Chipmunks, Tigermoths) and business jets. I currently work on the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye for NG. Aviation is my life’s passion, and I am still at it. The right side of my brain is not always welcome in my industry, but it serves me well. I can relate to everything you said. Looking forward to your further updates on not only the killer egg, but the Jayhawk as well!

chuck540z3 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Having been mostly away this summer I completely missed this, or I certainly would have said something sooner. THIS is the kind of creative modeling that inspires us all! Not that many of us could do this kind of work (I sure couldn't), but it pushes us all to a higher level of creativity in our modeling. Congrat's Pig on superlative work with the water and I am certain that you are having a lot of fun doing it. So cool....

I learned a lot in the process, and happy to pass it along. Here it is from above: and here is where the mounting stick for the helicopter goes: Floyd is done with the decals and the resin conversion parts are almost there. I wrote some of the narrative for the decal insert. Fun project with more to follow! cheers Pete Edited September 28, 2021 by Pete Fleischmann Kagemusha, easixpedro, Landrotten Highlander and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 Well cool. Floyd has got the Jayhawk conversion released. Patiently waiting for my two sets…. The AT-38 is at the top of the priority list, but I think I’ll be able to also get after this build once those conversions show up (ahem Floyd! cheers Pete geedubelyer, scvrobeson, Starfighter and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
