Thread: Second request for Aichi B7A2 Ryusei ( Grace ) Card

  1. #1

    Default Second request for Aichi B7A2 Ryusei ( Grace ) Card

    I thought I'd bring this request up again.
    Another new plane just added to my collection is an Aichi B7A2 Ryusei (Grace). Would anyone be interested in creating a card for this plane? Once again, I would appreciate it. I believe the current stats are W deck, CC/C forward, A/A rear arc, 20 damage.

    It's been a few weeks since my first plea for assistance in acquiring a card for this plane, and the Curtiss SB2C-3 Helldiver. Hopefully someone will have the time to work on them, please.

    Mike, this was the best line drawing that I could locate:

    Not good for doing up a card, I'm afraid.

    This is the best I could find, and it still looks bad when I try to use it for an overlay on other colors:

    Line drawing increased to 150 dpi, and still ridiculously pixelated:

I would also need to reduce the shadows and highlights, and that would mean redrawing at least some of the lines, anyway. A LOT of work.

    Note: Blueprints.com limits their sceen images to teaser thumbnails of seriously low dpi, to get viewers to pony up for a subscription.

    That looks perfect!! Thanks Mike and Mischa for all of your help. It is so rewarding to be able to use a wide variety of aircraft in WGS aside from the few and far between official releases.

    What scale are these new additions, Paul?
    1/200 or 1/144 ?

    They are 1/144th. After I had collected all of the official 1/200 releases, I wanted more planes. It took me a little bit to accept mixing the scales in a game, but my desire to fly a greater variety of planes eventually won out. And since I have no painting skills, the pre-painted 1/144 F-toys were perfect for me.
