1st attempt? I'll give you a 9. Nice work. It will be nice to see how you improve with some more practice and time.

Thanks for the positive comments. I'm currently making a P-51B (Malcolm hood) with the colors of the 357th FG. Still, I'm trying out some weathering but no success so far.

Hi, Pong. I haven't much experience with Photoshop, but I use Corel Photopaint 9 for my profiles., which is slightly similar. For weathering, depending on the desired result, I use the 'coloured pencil' and the fine airbrush, using lighter shades of the base colour etc. Fine 'paint chips' etc can be done with the fine HB pencil. Give it a try and see what you think.

why don't you try your siggy instead - Whisners crate of the 352nd fg ?

Great idea, Erich. The combination of blue and 'NMF' is a good contrast, and helps build the experience of 'light and shade', and, of course, reflections.

Very nice! I'm going to try and start doing profiles in Illustrator/Photoshop, and hopefully I can do as good as that!

A good place for starters is simmers paintshop. They have plenty of tutorials and advice. They've really helped me with my profiles.
