Ronan très beau résultat, Pierre

Paulo Castro Fantastic

Pierre Now that's I've regained my composure, I must say I find your stance fascinating.

Am I to believe that, by your logic, [****]ography becomes acceptable when it is historically accurate?? Would make cocks be insulting to women modelers as well??

So many questions...

Also, yes, military planes from the US of A showing nudity and profanity flew on many theaters. Search for "plane nose art" when you have a few minutes.

Martin Oostrom I think you two guys hare banging heads against a cultural wall. Pierre is French. Being from Europe as well, I dare say we see the decal as just that, a decal. (in my case: a bit of colourful variation over the camo)

Bob is from the USA and clearly has a different view of these decals. As I don't know a better description, he is more politically correct (I don't want to put a label on you Bob, I just don't know a better phrase).

from a cultural perspective the both of you could be right. This is a public forum as stated above, just remember that chewing one's head off, also reflects poorly on yourself.

And now I wish the both of you a very merry Christmas!

Łukasz Gliński Wow, that escalated quickly
But I can't agree with the hypothesis that the nosearts disappeared soon after WW2. Here's one of the proofs: dstorm.eu/pictures/nose-arts/a-10/?C=M;O=A
There are couple of more 'obscene' ones than the red girl on Pierre's Hog IMHO (e.g. "Playtime" or "Night Penetration" - the latter one made my day).

Pierre Thanks for taking the time to try to explain this.

Nudity isn't [****]ography for most of the western world, nor is it considered sexist. Neither are male cocks a problem. Actually, I'll make sure to add in memoriam [*******] in my future models.

It really is a weird fight to pick over here on scalemates, especially since A10s from USAF notoriously also wore old fashioned nose art.

I'm still dumbfounded, as I originally understood the aggressivity to be about modelling accuracy.

Anyhow, merry christmas to you all.

Stephan H. Hi Pierre.

Merry christmas and congratulations for the very well build bird. Crazy how anyone can think about [****]ography while seeing such an abstract illustration. Maybe not my generation. Anyway I believe any modeller can decide for the degree of historical accuracy he/she wants to realize. One very little change I would do to the red lady: cutting the decal along the panel line and wash the cut to improve depth impression.

Kind Regards

Ronny Verlaek Nice build.

scalemates nice one!

James C I'll say it again mate, its a fantastic looking build, awesomely painted and the pin up decal is tastefully done. Hardly an explicit full colour playboy centrefold! Happy Xmas and all the best for 2019!

Patrick Hagelstein I've seen that flash occurring as well... Too bad! But still, you made a very nice Tomcat out of it!

Cuajete Well done so far.
