Green, silver or . . . BLACK!
Which will it be? Stay Tuned . . .

these are bad ass birds!
Hmmm, I wonder what colors I picked . . .
An overwhelmingly hard paint scheme.
Sinister; I like them.
Now, of course, I need to add these to the to-do list for stats
Zoe: any thoughts on how the unconventional CoG would effect what maneuver cards we'd use?

Today, I stumbled upon a book or two at the Comox Air Force Museum that were of serious interest. Awesome line drawing of planes, in three view format. With planes from the 1912's. Like "British Bombers" and "Japanese Fighters".
I was trying to justify buying them, and not doing well, considering the upcoming release of planes. Then, a light bulb came on. I am volunteering in a facility that has one of the largest research aviation library in western Canada. And they have a scanner! They had the two I was eying, but they were on the sale rack, because we already had them in the library, and probably in better condition. So, I went looking for more. There were lots more, of all sorts of planes, from before WWI to after WWII. So, why buy them. Just scan the drawings I want, if they are there.
Like this one:
So, cards might be more possible, if I go check the museum for the drawings I want. And I can get them at ridiculously high resolution (600+ dpi), if I want, rather than some of the garbage that is put on the 'net (72 dpi) that I try to make do with.
Guys on the Forum will benefit, but my workload has to get "clipper-ish", if I want any time for Real Life.

There is already a card in the Files section, Mike, look here http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/dow...p?do=cat&id=79
The card probably needs a different movement deck letter now.
I have always liked the futuristic look of these planes but it was a good thing for the Allies that they neveer entered service.
