HRM Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 I have long thought of putting some 'nose art' on my E. Although I won't be going this far... ...I was sort of thinking some script to put her name on there. Anyway, any comments? Have any of you guys done this? Are there regs? I thought about just getting a sign painter or auto custom guy to come out to the hangar. I think vinyl letters would just peel off in the prop wash.
Guitarmaster Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 I have long thought that nose art is something that should be brought back! The military is too PC to do it, so it's going to be up to us. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
DonMuncy Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 Our wives are not as enthusiastic about our passion as it is.
bonal Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 My wife and I are both fans of nose art. We have a matching set of vinyl stickers on the tail and one on one of the gear doors with no sign of coming loose in a couple years time.
DXB Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 That rubenesque "Avenging Angel" fits the aesthetic of a heavy bomber (and perhaps Marauder's F ) well, but I'd favor a more sleek and ethereal figure. Or could dispense with subtlety entirely and hang some truck nuts off the tail tie down ring .
carusoam Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 Rubenesque on a Marauder, you say. Hmmmm.... Stand-by. I sense some artwork being drawn up. Best regards, -a-
HRM Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Posted January 24, 2016 I was thinking of something along these lines... 2

If I put something like that on my plane, my wife would be the "avenging angel". Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
