Here is re-Pete. This one I did as a well used seasoned veteran.
AIM model, Vallejo paints, Miscmini decals, spinning props by Keith. Model Air painted with a brush, 71.325 IJN dk. black green, 71.311 IJN ash grey.
I took these photos out under our dogwood. The shadows from the leaves made me think of cloud shadows.
Very nice Peter

Wow! Great job on those, Peter.
Great job on your namesake planes, Peter.
Really good job on those Petes Pete -
Thanks guys.
Anyone have something better than this?

Don't know if these are an improvement.
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
If some of these are from BlueprintBox.com, and not using a subscription, they are so small for dpi, or quality, as to be unuseable.
If the images are jpg'ed, and compressed, especially if they are grey-scaled, the lines get very blurred. Images that are at 150 dpi, or better, 300 dpi, as well as 2400 px or more, are usually worth working into line drawings. You can see the jaggy lines, particularly on curved lines in my drawing, along with the poor detail in some areas. The original was 72 dpi, but very large. Still didn't save it when I attempted to remove the white. Internet images use a lot of dithering (grey scale pixels) to make lines appear smooth on screens.

Excellent Peter! Rep gun is jammed. I need to do a dark green one like yours. The one I did a few months ago is the early war pale grey-green.
Mike, I emailed you a clean PSD file of a one-line I've been working on. If I upload it here, it will get compressed. Let me know what you think!
Yeah. That! I'll give it a try.Originally Posted by Dak21
However, if you did that as a retrace using Illustrator or Photoshop, that is a lot more work that I'd like to consider for plane cards. Not that I haven't done partial planes, or mods of drawings to make a different version of a plane. But, to do all the planes, it would need a bit of remuneration.

Very nice pair of Petes, Pete!

One of my newest acquisitions is a Mitsubishi F1M Pete, so I wanted to revive this thread. Was there any progress with finding a quality line drawing that Mike could use to create a card?
None that I have found.
Many thanks to Steve [Guntruck] for PMing me a vector file. I can make this work:

Stats? Unit? Crew?
PS: Based on some of the markings above, I'd suggest 'Seaplane Tender Kamikawa Maru, Deboyne Islands". Unknown Crew.

The Petes I did are definitely Kamikawa Maryu. YII-3 was abandoned at Rekata Bay. No assigned pilot I can see.
These stats are not approved!
[Edit: Card updated with Unofficial Stats Committee stats.]

Great card as usual Mike! I have a list of all the planes Karl has given stats for since the Unofficial list came out. Karl has given it as, Mitsubishi F1M Pete. Deck: P(z); Guns: A/A plus A/A rear arc. Damage: 14; Ceiling: 10; Climb: 6
Card above updated. Thanks, Pete!

Awesome, thanks!
Another excellent card!!! A big thank you to Mike and everyone involved. My enjoyment of this game has increased over the years thanks to all of the helpful people on the Aerodrome site. I sincerely appreciate all of you for helping me incorporate a very large collection of unofficial planes into my gaming scenarios.
That's great, Peter. I'm glad you have it, because I can't find it in my files.
Too many files....too many folders...

I have all (that I know of) the planes you have posted stats on that are not in the current unofficial list. I can send it to you if you'd like?That's great, Peter. I'm glad you have it, because I can't find it in my files.

So, just for the record:
Card inspired by the model by Pete [Teaticket], and having the stats on hand!
Karl [Jager] did the stats, originally.
Steve [Guntruck] had a good drawing for the base image.
I did the modifications to the template to produce the card.
Awesome collaboration, team!

Let me organize/aphabetize it and I'll email it to both of you.
Could I possibly be added to that email list, please.
Well done the team.

I agree with Paul, that the advice and support of the Drome members add hugely to the enjoyment of this great hobby. .
