Also, 4 out of your 10 marines are actually F4F Wildcat fighters. The Zeros and Wildcats have to do with a rule about carrier fighters with a reduced price tag and a reduced move (from 4 to 3, I seem to remember).

Accurate Miniature Equivalents for Custom Painting your 1940 E&P

@Brain:
I want to see some P-40 Warhawks with the Flying Tigers paint.
*See first page - the single Chinese Fighter (has the shark face accurately there, but not a good pic of it). The Flying Tigers fought with the Chinese, and one unit accurately represents that… All A&A variants have only one fighter starting in China. Maybe I’ll do one with US markings for my 1942 and original board for the sake of completion, but no more than a single unit.
I’ve toyed with the idea of doing 1/2 P-38s and 1/2 Hellcats… Not sure yet. Don’t want them to look too similar to UK and ANZAC units. We’ll see - that hurdle is a few weeks off.Oh yeah I forgot about those. I am sure I will like anything you do.

Speechless.
There are no real words to convey this awesome. You’ve even actually managed to make me find my old pre-Dreadnought models and start painting them.
I can’t wait till you finish. :-D

I can’t wait until he finishes my set :-D

I want to see those U.S pieces.
Come on! Show me your war face! -

I would think that the roundels would be the longest part of the paint job.

Yet, he seems to pull it off almost flawlessly.

It’s about a third of the total paint time.

You painted the metal cap on the canteen… You’re INSANE man!

I know you’ve probably got enough things to do….
But i’m thinking of trying to paint my own in a similar but to a cleary inferior standard given a) i’m shit at art b) i’ve only painted giant airfix planes before and c) well i doubt there’s anyone out there that has done a better job.
Well i was hoping you could post a list of shades and equipment needed?
I understand if its trade secrets and all - given you’re going to do other peoples.

Well thanks to AllWork’s beautiful stuff, I decided to stop staring, drooling, and wanting; and decided to do something about it. So, I’ve started my own project. Not as ambitious as his, I’m painting my Guadalcanal set. Starting with Japanese bombers and transports, here’s the first of it. Just wanted to say thanks to AllWork for doing all the historical research. I’m using his stuff as a guide.
Also included is my set of Home Factories inspired by Virococchas’s work. Enjoy all-
