Oh man, I've just orgasmed!!!

Wow!

I love it, I love it, I love it :wub:  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:

Ones actually flown by Vampires, however, generally naturally fly at night, have solid cockpit covers (in case of daylight filtering through as they return after a night mission!) and navigate by their extra-sensory "bat" perceptions and radar.

Often therefore, black features in the paintwork, but more disruptive schemes like the one illustrated are not unknown.
My two Vampire Hurricanes are still awaiting paint!! :ph34r:

Jeff,
Dang near perfect timing on that last one.  Now, what do the werewolves, mummies and Frankies fly?

wow! that's really, really beautiful!!!!  :wub:  :wub:  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Obviously modelled after a shot down one during the Suez campaign that was passed to the USSR by the Egyptians.  Though since it is a prop job, you probably want a single syllable code name (sorry JMN coming out in me) - how about 'Flog'

All hail the God of Frustration!!!

Hi Everyone!

How about doing Wyverns in the colours and markings of the:

(1) Turkish Air Force
(2) Greek Air Force

The setting could be one of the wars fought between Greece and Turkey!

Also...HOW do you make such beautiful drawings of these aircraft?  (I mean aside from your obvious great talent) is there some kind of software that makes this possible?  I'm still struggling with Microsoft Paint.

Now let's pimp-slap the Wyvern a bit by making it fly COIN missions in Africa:



From 1959 to 1974 Portugal fought a long running and eventually losing fight against the growing tide of African nationalism in its African posessions- the right-wing totalitarian government of Antonio Salazar threw the weight of the Portuguese armed forces into a series of conflicts throughout Portugal's African possessions. Their primary air weapon in this fight would be the tough Fiat G.91 which the FAP found to be well-suited to the harsh demands of African counterinsurgency warfare.

Suppose the Wyvern was just as tough given its carrier roots and is employed by the FAP in Africa? This illustration shows such a Wyvern in the colors of the first G.91s that were deployed to Africa- gray/green upper surfaces with light blue undersurfaces.

That Vampire Wyvern is quite something!

:wub:

Now, for a Werewolf Wyvern?  They need something to strike back at them Vamps!
