Skib Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 alight, help me decide. Im gonna use the tiger design on the right (the one with no hat) but Im debating between using the original blue/white start circle background or just rocking a solid red one. the red matches, but it feels like theres waaay to much red going on. so the blue breaks it up nicely... but nothing else is blue on the car. Solid red. Blue with the star. (origonal) Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 seriously? LOL! uhh the red one.. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 hard call skib, the red does match, but hmm hard call. Go to the library and get some WW2 documentaries/movies and start watching :D See how well they blend together in the movies. I think some did use blue but meh dunno. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 seriously? I spend ALOT more time in photoshop than I will actually painting it. even if I have a design I dont have to draw (like the teeth) I still have to spend my time breaking it down into layers (fucking tedious) for stenciling and print.

ariascarlos1990 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 The red one does match alot better but, you have to have something that will pop!. My vote is for the blue one. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Umm.... red. NO, wait!! ...... yeah it's red. Unless you plan some later additions that would match the blue. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Umm.... red. NO, wait!! ...... yeah it's red. Unless you plan some later additions that would match the blue. there is the pin up, the only blue is on the tint of her flight goggles. but theres a bunch of of colours too. the red pic by itself looks good but Im just starting to feel like its to much over all Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 If you're using Fisch's drawing as a template for your wagon, go with the blue. That's the one that his 510 has. Stay true to to the vision. ;) Quote Link to comment
paradoxx Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I prefer, the red one with the star of the blue one. So with the white star you balance you red amount. My thoughts Skip! Quote Link to comment
Dat620guy Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I agree with paradoxx. The white star in the red would help with balance but that's your call. :D Quote Link to comment

Solid red. Blue with the star. (origonal) Historical reference. The REAL flying tigers, the American Volunteer Force [AVF] nose art of the tiger mouth did not use a red tongue! That was an artifice of the British forces fighting in North Africa on their aircraft and was adopted later by the American Army Air Force succesors to the AVF when the Flying Tigers were merged into the Army Air Forces fighting in the China Burma India [CBI] theater. [No, I wasn't there!] By the way, I prefer the Coumintang Gear wheel. [Let's not get involved in discussions of the Boxer Rebellion, the USMC would not look on with favor, arguing US Krag vs 1903 Springfield is fruitless at this late date.] Chiang Kai Check and the Madam would approve of it.
