My experience in graphic arts started B.C. (Before Computers). I've been an art director and creative specialist for over 25 years. I have worked with Apparel Companies, packaging companies, advertising agencies, marketing groups, websites developers, graphic pre-press production houses and just about everything that requires artwork. I'm still only 43. OK so I had no social life, but I have no credit card debt. Not bad!

Description Here you can see the change 8.0 to 9.0 allows. The cammo blends in 8.0 are hard edged. In 9.0 the cammo has a soft blend and still allows the molding.

A P-51D Mustang, A Supermarine Spitfire, and a P-40 Warhawk. 3 of my favorite planes! Beautifully rendered too! Very nice!

You're welcome Todd! The glossy metal look is not all that realistic anyway, especially after a few battles. Gun powder and weather really oxidized the aluminum and gave it a dull gray look. When we see them all spick'n span at the air shows, that's the result of a tremendous amount of work and TLC by the owners and their ground crews. During WWII, a Crew Chief might have done his best to keep a plane looking good, but it was more important that they run and shoot good! I did some work for the P-51 Fighter Pilots Association a few years ago when they had their reunion here in Pittsburgh. Lots of great stories and photos!
Everybody loves the P-40! It's one of my all time favorite planes!
