I saw the rv-8 cut-away drawing at snf 09.. here is the link
It's not a high res shot, and it is from an angle... but it's enough to give you a sense of what it's like.

since it is on smug mug.. and the photos are for sale... I raised the price of this particular photo to 10000.00 so nobody could buy it and replicate it. It is also right click protected. (unless they really wanted to spend 10000.00 on a drawing.... that goes for a lot less....)

In response to a number of requests that we re-post the pricing and details for the RV-8 cutaway illustrations, I am including the information at the end of this post
There will only be 100 of the limited edition 24 x 36 Giclee's printed and we have about 30 left unspoken for. A $100 retainer, billed through PayPal after we receive your order is required to reserve a number in the queue. The balance will be billed when the illustration is ready to print.
The offering for the standard prints may have to be adjusted, as we have not received enough standard orders to justify the minimum quantity for offset press production. We are exploring alternatives to satisfy those orders at this time. If you are interested in a standard print, let me know and we will take your order and notify you once the offering is finalized. We are not taking any money up front for the standards.
Tom is also taking orders for custom illustrations, for those who want a cutaway of their own personal RV-8 or RV-8A. Customs are quoted individually and start at $750 for a simple paint scheme. The price goes up from there depending upon complexity of the paint scheme and any interior features that you want detailed in the illustration. Customs can be produced at a size you specify and are offered as a fine art Giclee. If you are interested in a custom of your own plane, please send photos via email to Tom at http://[email protected] and he will get back to you with a quote,
Please send all orders and inquiries to Tom at http://[email protected]
Here is the pricing that was posted on the forum for the RV8
Again - Standard prints may be a different size and/or price.
Standard print 18" X 24" on archival paper..........................$45.00 +S/H**
Standard print 24" X 36" on archival paper...........................$65.00 +S/H**
Fine-art 24" X 36" limited edition of 100 *giclee prints..........$200.00 + S/H**
*a giclee is digital print that is the highest quality reproduction available. These are fine-art prints produced on museum quality acid-free paper using non-fading special inks. When framed properly, these prints have non-fading life expectancy of 100 years. Giclee prints must be printed one at a time at ultra-high resolution for maximum detail and take about 1 hour each to print. They are dazzling.
**Shipping and handling includes shipping charge for US postal priority mail and packing tube. Within the US this is $15.00. Overseas rates vary. (Inquire for rates)

I am now going over it and tightening it up and adding the details. Should be starting to paint in 3 or 4 days.
Tom
Hi,
What's the estimate completion date for the giclees?
snip...
My target for completing the cutaway is June 3rd. The prints
go to immediate production directly following that time.

Hi Group,
After resolving some catostrophic computer problems, (for me anyway) the painting is well underway and should be done in 7 days. Here's a peak at it:

Tom,
Looks good! What are you using for the final output? The color gamut on the new Epson 7900 looks HUGE!

Hi Group,
I just finished up the RV-8 Cutaway. It took longer than originally projected because I was so enthused about this great airplane. While I was painting it,
I probably spent more time analyzing the technical aspects of building one rather than just concentrating on the necessary information to do the rendering. Here it is, and I hope you have as much enjoyment looking at it as I did painting (and Buiding) it.
We'll be notifying those who ordered prints via email. If you're interested in placing an order, we still have a few of the limited edition giclee's at $200 plus shipping. Send us an email at [email protected].
Cheers,
Tom
Let's try this again....Stand by,....fingers crossed.
Tom, A beautiful amalgamation of artistic talent and technical savvy. And your attention to minor detail is just amazing.
I'm just praying that you do one for the RV7A slider.
The -7 slider is the next RV on deck due to the amount of responces, but before I start on it, I'm commited to a high-tech cutaway of the incredible MX-2 aerobatic aircraft.
Tom Out
Looks brilliant, I too am looking forward to mine arriving.
Gotta ask.... Why the chicken?
The -7 slider is the next RV on deck due to the amount of responces,
The -8 was a slider, so why not -7 as tip-up this time? You may have collected the answers from the thread already showing that slider version is more preferred... however as it's such a minor detail (in one way), and I understood these are computer made eventually, so would it be too hard to make two versions?
Tom, are you planning on selling these posters? If so, I would like to purchase three, one for me and the other two for friends building 8s as well, How much and where do I send the money? Thanks, Bill
