Free Texas Air Force

[Jacques]

Hi,
any ideas of Free Texas AF marking? Perhaps just a white star in blue field, like USAF in early WW2...
I plan to build a Skyhawk of Texas war of independence, in camouflage similar to Free Kuwait

Here's what I did...




Here's a link to my Texas Mirage build with more pics...

To make the roundels, I used a French roundel plus a smaller USAF roundel minus the bars.  The TX flag on the fin was carefully made from scrap pieces of red, blue & white decal plus a white star from a Bicentennial scheme aircraft.  Basically, scrounge through your spare decals and see what you can come up with.  If I was to do a WWII era Texas aircraft, I would use a larger French roundel (perhaps with a yellow surround) plus a smaller US star for the center.  Hope this helps.

and happy modeling, Bryan

Nonononono (echoing my wife talking to our little twins), you've gotta consider this:

Big red roundel, big white roundel inside that, and a blue BBQ smack dab in the middle!!!    Kill markings are BBQ sauce bottles.

No yellow rose? Other than that I really agree with that scheme for the Republic of Texas.
