P-51, Sea Fury, P-38, F4U/FG, F2G air racer cartoons

( 1/23/13 update: A second set of all digital drawings, which look more realistic than these or the first set, may be found at:
www.flickr.com/photos/wbaiv/8384233887/
Color them in and send me a picture!)

These cartoons are meant to convey the markings carried by

Bob Hoover's Rockwell sponsored, yellow, P-51D,

And (Clay what his name) purple-overall #64 P51D

Sea Fury #87 Yellow with flames painted on the nose, at a couple of diffeerent points in its life

Hawker Hurricane Mk II G-AMAU, "Last of the Many", flown by Group Captain Peter Townsend

F4U-1/FG-1s Corsairs "JOE" #99, Lucky Gallon/Miss Port Columbus

Lefty Gardner's P-38 Lightning #13

F2G-1s Super Corsairs #84, #57 and #18

These are about the limit of my hand-eye coordination, and should not be taken to suggest any particular non-standard feature of the airplane I'm trying to draw- Hoover's P-51D didn't have any unusual stuff done to the radiator, I just messed up the drawing. I DO mean to suggest, however, that the #18 F2G-1 had an extended fin and rudder while the #9
4 bird did NOT. #84 and #57 have different, non-standard carburetor air intake trunks above the cowlings, not seen on #18

11/15/12 Update:
I have made a cleaned-up digital version of this which can be colored in to suit yourself on a computer or printed and colored with crayons, pencils, etc. www.flickr.com/photos/wbaiv/8158430474/

Basically the same airplanes, except Miss Port Columbus was replaced by a red and white marking... The scrap view Sea Fury and Super Corsair have been expanded to full images.

I've also posted a colored-in version here: www.flickr.com/photos/wbaiv/8189174225/

These are still cartoons, not rigorously scaled drawings, and I spent WAY too much time on them, but the colored-in ones are pretty and the digital profiles are a good vehicle for more profile marking research More colored in versions too!
