Profiles - AFC Camels

Hi Guys,

I have just completed 3 profiles of AFC Camels. Constructive criticisms are welcome as i am not an expert in this area. Info for these aircraft was not easy to come by.



the text for each aircraft reads:
1st - B9248 No. 6 (Training) Squadron, Australian Flying Corps (AFC)

2nd - B7412 "Y" 4th Squadron Australian Flying Corps (AFC)
Pas de Calais Bruay, 1918

3rd - E7267 Captain A H Cobby DFC DSO and Bars,
Instructor No 8 (Training) Squadron,
Australian Flying Corps (AFC), Leighterton
Cheers
Damian

Nice work, Damian.

But

I'm afraid you have the rudder stripes in the wrong order. British stripes were blue-white-red (fore to aft) until sometime the 30s, when they switched to red-white-blue.

Great Job! In Cobby's book they have the AFC 4 Camels in PC 12 not 10. I'm not sure they're right - just thought I'd raise the question; green or brown?????

Hi Damo74
profiles look good.
I was wondering what method you are using to generate them.

also - if you are looking for help with markings you might consider posting in the "camouflage and markings" section under "aircraft"
somebody should be able to help.

Very nice indeed. Is it possible to get higher resolution images for my screensaver?

That Cobby must have been such a show off. Who'd he think he was, a German ?
