    WWII Nose Art Project (s)..

    Hey team..

    It’s that weird guy from So-Cal again.. This time I just thought I would share some pics of my latest project’s, there pretty cool if you’re into WWII nose art.

    The first on is an access panel some guys wanted painted up and of course I was more than happy to take their money..


    Materials used.
    Everything is from the “House of Kolor”
    • Flesh tone base FT-B
    • SG 105 Blue blood
    • BC 25 black
    • BC 26 White
    • FT-03 Flesh shadow (Red shade)
    • SG 100 Urethane Intercoat clear






    I’m staring out with actual piece of aircraft grade aluminum siding / sheeting.. I had to cut it size, 18”x18” filed the edges and wet sand it before it I had it just right..







    Now I’m cleaning it, I started out with 400gr and worked my way to 1000 wet sanding, then I buffed it all out with rubbing compound, no polish or wax..






    Before I attempted to spray anything I laid down one coat of Adhesion Promoter (Bulldog) & two coats of intercoat clear, then I’m proceeding to paint up the basic outline here of the overall design at this point.






    Here I’ve got base design complete with bullet holes, kill signs and of course a name. I’m now laying out my outline for my 60 + rivets..

                  Wow those are nice. My Dad was a B-26 pilot in WWII and the two planes he spoke of the most were named "Coughin' Coffin" and "Virgin Salle". I'm going to look through some old photos and see if I can find any pics of the nose art on those and if I can find 'em you may have another project.
                  I'm only smiling at you while you talk to me because it's hilarious that you really think I give a crap about you.

                  As I've gotten older I thought I was gaining patience, then I realized I simply don't give a crap.

                    Very awesome. I admire all the work you've shown so far. I'd pay money for a painted aluminum panel like that just to hang on the wall.

                      If I didn't read your commentary, I would have thought those rivets were real. Awesome job!

                        Thanks Sir... I'm glad you like it.. Each rivet takes 4 different steps to complete.. They are a pain the asssss but really help pull of the overall look..

                          Some quick facts about the Nine O Nine:

                              Good work. I have painted kill markings on a P-51, but I am not talented enough to paint nose art.
