Spitfire vs Spitfire

[Clave]

I reluctantly accept your accolade, and demand... a shrubbery!!

[Matt308]

A shrubbery, eh?

First... what is your favorite colour?

[Clave]

It's red!.. err... no blue!

Around thirty years ago a book called "Combat Aircraft of World War II" was published which contained 176 colour images of the quality that you produce. I remember reading a review of the book at the time, and the reviewer expressed immense dissatisfaction with the 'non-weathered' look of the profiles, explaining that areas of paint should be missing, oil stains, etc.

They all look great to me.

Does this debate continue in the profiling business?

[Clave]

Oh, definitely...

I'm taking this view for the time being - there must have been a time when the aircraft was new, and that is what I represent.

Now I have a choice: I can either do like, 30 profiles a month, or I can do 1 a month, and for now I would rather do 30 with no weathering...

What do you think?...

Totally agree, especially when you consider it as a business. Production matters.

Also remember that he was very critical of the six foot scale pilot displayed next to the images.
I thought it was a nice touch. Haven't seen it anything like it since.

[Clave]

While I do see the point of it, I think it would annoy me after a while...

[Wayne Little]

I'd rather see more than less! Clave you go for it man!!.. Your work is fantastic mate.

Any nitpickers can make sure the door doesn't hit them in the *ss on the way out....

Ditto for me Wayne. They are exceptional Clave. Keep it up.
