Hi - following your success on the pilot re-size on the T-33 is there any way you could sprinkle your magic dust on the Dave Garwood Hawker Hunters please?

Did take a peak, the pilot figured at model specific so no default avatar "node", so sadly can not be modified. Fear Dave has to do this.

*NEW* - 21628 of No. 1 Fighter Wing, Canadian Forces Base Lahr, West Germany, circa 1969.

Aircraft carries the road runner character on the tail flash in keeping with the "flightless birds" motif that Canadian T-33s used in NATO Europe for a while.

Now... I have yet to find any pics of the left side of this aircraft during this period in RCAF T-33 history, so I've made a couple of assumptions based on other aircraft pictures from the same era. Namely, I've included the No. 1 Fighter Wing heraldic crest on the left side of the nose because I know T-33s based at Baden-Soellingen had their 4 Fighter Wing crest painted on. See my 4 Wing Instrument Flight livery as an example:

Also, the hawk-eyed among us may notice that the nationality markings on the road runner airplane look a little... off, this is intentional as the RL aircraft appeared to carry hybrid roundels, probably created by painting over the original leaf from the RCAF-style markings and replacing it with the leaf from the (then) new national flag. This was a short-lived practice in the mid-to-late 1960s until the new, official roundels were introduced, and resulted in some weird looking markings where the blue ring was too narrow or the leaf was too small, or both!

This one was fun to make. Coming soon.

I know I posted pics of this one months back, but it turns out I never actually uploaded it... so here it is.

Yay. That's about my favorite combo -- RCAF (my Canadian veteran grandfather was annoyed that they'd dropped the R for a while), maple flag, and day-glo. Another beauty!
