Finished painting my AVG Jacket

[Tieleader]

Hey, guys.
Finally finished my first jacket paint job. This is an old Cooper brand modern A2 jacket I've had for decades. I removed all the old patchs for this project so hence all the sewing holes all over. Just to be clear this is a test project not a neat finished piece. I bought a new WW2 repro Cooper jacket for the real piece I want to do, an Eagle Squadron / 4th FG paint job. Let me know what you think I'd like to hear your constructive critics and suggestions to improve on these.

I've done artwork on a number of tanks and planes but leather is new for me. Let me get better first!
BTW like your kitty.

If the current one is any indication of your abilities, the next one should be spectacular.

Nice job, All I can say is you need to age the artwork a bit, looks to new for an old A-2. Some photos of some I've done in the past

As I stated this was a test piece on a somewhat old A2 I had just to see if I could do it at all. My intention wasn't to match the "distressed" look of the leather but merely get the hang of it.

Thank you. Getting better at defining really small lines.

A friend of mine does the vintage jackets, he also has a fully restored MP jeep, complete with the two-way radio, which I helped get back into working order.
