Just teasing. Thanks for offering your services. Hopefully, someone will take advange of it.

Ahhh...
Well John, here's the way it went:
[OT warning on
]
I went to Vietnam as a young Ranger qualified Infantry Lieutenant in Dec '67. Came back a year later (I was in & around Saigon during Tet '68...) with a couple of gongs and a serious determination to go into a safer line of work than running through rice paddies while people shot at me, eh?
So I volunteered for Bomb Disposal.
A few years later, I "fell into bad company," (as the saying goes
) and was recruited into Military Intelligence.
Me, I was hoping for an assignment in Technical Intelligence, but wound up as an all-source analyst with a primary specialty of Photo Analyst.
Ah, but I had fun and came out of my military service with all of my fingers and toes in the proper place and a decent amount of my intelligence intact, eh?
[/OT Warning off]
Yes, well... As I said, at this time, I'm interested in the air war in the west (Battle of Britain and all that, you know?),
but if I show a certain aircraft in a scene, that aircraft - Allied or Axis -
will have the proper aircraft codes for that make and mod and the proper unit for the time frame.
And, while I have a real world example of a computer graphics model which I recently purchased, I shall post my queries about markings and ordnance in the proper forums.
Jim
