IO have not discounted a personal design but lately I've not been very successful in the creativity department so I've been looking at a lot of airplane photos and one picture ? ironically labeled a ?TBD? ? caught my eye. After some investigation, I found it was the Douglas TBD Devastator.
One thing I liked from WWII Navy aircraft was the variations on the paint schemes. I found five different schemes and set about moching up each. Eventually one started to rise to the top ? the USS Wasp from the Atlantic fleet in 1941.
There will need to be some refinement and then a conversation with the paint shop about feasibility. But for now, it advances to the finalists round.
