Mancunian airman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hi all I am in the process of undertaking a 2nd edition of my book 'Lancaster Operations' and I am on the look out for somebody who can produce artwork of aircraft that I have researched, something along the lines of those shown below. I do like the style and clarity and would like something very similar. I have seen profiles in numerous books of course but have little or no idea how to contact said artiste many thanks Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Ian, I believe Jon Freeman does the artwork for all the Xtradecal sheets and is also a member of BM here - @Jon Freeman The above Lanc profiles look to be a similar style, so perhaps a well worded PM to Jon might put you on the right track? Cheers and good luck.... Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 You could contact the book company and ask for the artist’s contact info. Since he/she did the profiles you liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) I will reccommend Marek Radomski from Krakow: Cheers J-W P.S. Much more of his art-work profiles can be seen here http://www.muzeumlotnictwa.pl/galeria.php?ng=5 Edited January 5, 2018 by JWM added P.S.

leyreynolds Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 You could try contacting Mushroom Model Publications as they use a number of subcontractor artists, including Jaunita Franzi. If you want an artist in the UK, Neil Robinson of AirFile Publications may be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydhuey Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Juanita has done more than a dozen A-20/Boston profiles for me and she is outstanding , highly recommended . She posts on here occasionally looking for info for a profile, she does her best to ensure they are as accurate as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Russell Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I can also recommend Juanita Franzi at Aero Illustrations. She does extremely high quality work and I know from my own experience she has a meticulous approach to accuracy. I am just looking at the Ceres book for which she did the profiles and they are very nice.
