Great work!

I love this

Very nice.

I miss seeing nose art

Shouldn't her blade be a Sabre?

Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee

I see what you did there!

Ooh! As much of a fan of the F-86 as I am, I should have made that comment. LOL

This is why FA comments need a Like button. <^,^>

Classy!~ <3

And classic.

Lovely work!

Reminds me of this:

That's cool!

I loved the link. At first, I thought it was a P-61 until I saw the 8 guns in the nose and I knew the P-61 didn't have them. Then, I looked again and saw the surprised look on the artist AND what his model was doing. ROFLMAO. I didn't know the B-25 had a night bomber/attack/fighter version until I saw that drawing.

I was inspired by Martin Caidin's "Whip"...

Love the nose art. Excellent work.
Pic I took about 25 years ago at an airshow. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/31341619/
The original upset the Brass 80 odd years ago.

OMG, that's a real hoot!

Her expression is priceless

I recall seeing that nose art before but I've never seen a B-24 up close and personal. I guess I saw the art in a photo like that one.

Was an infamous piece of nose art from the Pacific theater. Plane and crew based in Northern Queensland Australia. Flew missions over New Guinea. Images of the original bomber have been in books. Would make for a fun decal for a model B24. Dragon has a twin tail and runs the length of the fuselage.

You know? As I think about it, that may be where I remember it from. I seem to recall building a B-24 model that had that decal as an option.

Oh yes! Now I'm thinking I need to commission you for one of these. I've loved WWII aviation history since I was a pre-teen, and nose art is one of my guilty pleasures.

Hit me whenever you're ready!

Is that an F-86?

Indeed it is.

A white tiger and the name Desiree... now, what does that remind me of?

IYKYK

It's back in print as of MFM last year, too.

No kidding? It's a good story! I'm glad the newer generations get to enjoy it.

Yeah, I've been steadily working on getting some of the "old-school" stuff back in print via my Furry Logic Productions label. The audience is there for those old stories; it's just that nobody knows about them because they only ever appeared in small-press fanzines that the younger generations completely missed out on.

Are you going to re-print other McCullar works, like High Fidelity and Sign-off, and the tons of Fornax?

As a matter of fact, I already have.

Fornax: Remix
Fornax: You Don't Believe
Fornax: Outtakes from a Recording Studio (a direct sequel to "You Don't Believe" that I wrote with Matt's permission)
Fornax: 8-Tracks (the collected Fornax short stories -- since there were eight of them, it was the obvious title. :-D )
Grassland's Tale
Radio Hightower (all of his non-Fornax stuff, like "High Fidelity / Sign Off", "The Commonplace Book", etc.), which made its debut this year at FurDu down in Australia.

and I just printed up a memorial collection of Brian "Sylverfox" Miller's stories, titled Mirror Universes, which will be making its debut at Mephit Furmeet in a couple of days.

I'd wondered if someone was going to collect Brian's writing and re-publish it. In fact I thought about Brian during this conversation. Annette is going to Mephit Furmeet. I think she'd definitely want a copy.

Already have one set aside for her.

Cute btw do you take cashapp

I'm impressed! It looks like you researched the nose panels of the F-86 right down to the rivets.

Sexy yet deadly.

I love WW2 and Korean War nose art, I am sure your art would be popular with pilots.

Sweet!!! Nice 86!!

I still dont get it why the USAF got the Sabre with 6x .50BMGs instead of 4x 20mm Cannons.

VERY nice picture btw. Really dig it.

Later in the war, North American developed a 4 20mm cannon F-86. I believe it saw action during the last year or two of the war. I also believe the lack of desire for cannons was the slow rate of fire compared to machine guns, plus the fact that cannons carried fewer rounds.

Nice F-86 canopy and nose art. You did a great job on the panels and wing root. I wish I could do half, no 1/4, as well as you did here.

So, Maj. Weyant was a 14-kill (and a truck) ace, huh? Good job. Most pilots rarely make it to 5.

Awesome stuff.

Looks like a F-86 Sabre jet.

Nice nose art. And you did an amazing job on the F-86 Saber.

When researching for a video and digging through old alt.fan furry archives that miraculously still survive online dating from the early 1990s onward
I saw mention of a time that apparently soldiers wanted Chester ringtail painted as nose art in real life during I believe it was the gulf war.
Terrie might be able to provide more context on this?
But unfortunately it seems the base didn’t permit it.

That would have been beautiful
