“Last Call” cowling “P-47”
And here is the other recent "P-47" cowling project all finished up. This one is a companion piece to my "Ready for Take-Off" project and looks like it was from the same squadron with the same nose artist... me! I was given free reign on this one also in regards to subject and period correct … Continue reading “Last Call” cowling “P-47”
“P-47” Cowling Project “Forget Me Not”
Here is the first of two recent private commission "P-47" cowling projects completed! For this one I was given a blank canvas... authentic period correct looking but artistic free reign to do whatever I wanted to do... so I chose a 1945 photo of Yvonne De Carlo (aka Lily Munster) as inspiration because I've always … Continue reading “P-47” Cowling Project “Forget Me Not”
New CAF Airbase Georgia Logo

My Dinner Date
I had a lovely dinner date this evening over the Chicken Primavera from Primo Barone's right here on the airport... the Beach City Baby C-53. I'll probably work until about 10:00 tonight before I wrap up Day Two in the Vintage Wings Hangar.
San Souci Nose Art
My friend Scott asked me to design some nose art to honor his great uncle who was killed on his 2nd mission with the 492nd Bomb Group in a B-24. The Liberator had the name but no artwork. To go with the name meaning "Without Worry" or Free of Care, I felt the perfect choice … Continue reading San Souci Nose Art
New P-47 Thunderbolt T-shirts!
After the recent news of the Evansville P-47 Foundation acquiring Tarheel Hal from the Lonestar Flight Museum and going against the mission of any credible museum, covering the authentically painted Thunderbolt in "Spirit of Evansville" vinyl graphics, it really made me sad. I will always remember a time when I was on the phone with … Continue reading New P-47 Thunderbolt T-shirts!
