A shrubbery, eh?

First... what is your favorite colour?

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?

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.

I thought it was a nice touch. Haven't seen it anything like it since.

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