| Ok the winning design for the tail and nose has Felix the cat as this was on the Black cats that flew against the japs during ww2 hence the design awarded. The chequer feature will be around the engine donks as well (like the B17s, B25 etc) and will look unreal. Last edited by AC-Jacko; 07-16-2009 at 08:28 AM. Reason: Having photo issues being loaded |
