I am currently working on drawing (in FD scale) all British and Argentine aircraft involved in the Falklands Conflict of 1982.

I will be drawing one or two examples of each plane/helicopter involved with accurate paint schemes and squadron markings. I am considering doing squadron insignia to go alongside each drawing as is done in some Shipbucket-scale drawings. The best example of this, in my opinion, are KimWerners coats of arms in bezobrazovs Type 22 drawings done recently.

Would KimWerner, or anyone else be interested in working on this with me?

\/ List of drawings to to can be found below in my signature \/

Jabba I'm interested but right now a bit hanged up with USS Sacramento (she showed up to be a difficult lady :D ) and two (2) italian crest made in brass. It is some task to figure out to draw brass colour in a way that is thrustworthy.
But if you got the patience I'm in ;)

Not a problem mate, this is going to take me quite a while to get finished anyway, I am very busy in the 'real' world at the moment too, so no rush!!!

:D I'm going to see what exactly this will involve in the way of drawing tonight/this weekend and will pm you with any questions or news if that's Ok? :D

Oh, I saw your Sacramento the other day, looks like its coming along really well. I particularly like the colour mix you have used for shading, the slightly 'washed out' red of the hull somehow looks better that most others. Looks more realistic that the bright red usually used I think.

Anyway, good luck with the drawing!
