That is good work so far. That is a tough picture to work from. I worked it quickly and noticed that this would take quite awhile to do.

Since you decided to blacken in the sky, be sure that the "White" will be attached to the outside of the black in several places. That's the only thing that comes to mind at the moment.

It has the potential to be a stunning pattern. You've got a good eye for the design.

I think the next step is to define the blocks of color more clearly, getting rid of as many speckles as possible. We've all got our own approaches to working the design, though .

Incidentally, if you've got software that will give you a negative image, you might find it easier to work with.

I can't wait to see how this eventually turns out.

That pattern is looking great Dary - a very dramatic looking composition.

Aside from the two comments already made, which I agree with, the main area that looks tricky from a cutting point of view is that tail section- which is very delicate, assuming of course that it's the black to be cut not the white ..

I have to agree with Gill. It may be easier to work from this angle. I hope you do not mind me inverting the image. Steve

I gotta say I like Daryls original design better than the inverted one. That thing just "grabs" attention!!! I think it's great. Gonna do an F4 next?? The old "wild weasel" has always been my favorite.

Neal, I agree that the original just pops. With what Gill said I thought it may be easier to clean up some of the speckles and then re-invert the colors. I don't want to seem to be butting in. I just had the program open and could convert it quick. Steve

Daryl, that is going to be a beaut. That cleaned up very nicely around the cockpit area. Steve

That's going to look so impressive when it's cut. It'll not be easy - there are some very fine bridges - but I'm sure you're the scroller to do the job, Daryl.
