What the? I was pretty sure i placed the fixed version in the post :/ Just a moment...

UPDATE:
Ok, i have done some slight necessary fixes to the YB-49, but i still think it looks awful. Meanwhile though, i've done a few edits to the other Flanker variants from Golly i made months ago, and to the Mig-35, mostly about the font type.

@WhyMe
Great work!

Now I have some announcements to make.

First of all, with deep regret I have to inform You all that Naixoterk has informed me that due to personal circumstances He will no longer be an active member of our community (simply speaking: He just has no time for drawing any more and it will remain so for the foreseeable future).
For that reason, He passed to me his FD-scale WIP works and authorized to ensure that they will be eventually completed by someone. These works vary from well advanced (blanks + number of paint schemes) to only started (blanks being only made). These are:
1) Advanced
FIAT G.50
Grumman Martlet (Royal Navy F4F Wildcat)
Junkers J.I
2) Blanks only
Breda Ba.64
Breda Ba.75
Breda Ba.201
Curtiss P-36/-37/-40/-42/-46 family
Dornier Do-17/-215
Heinkel He-70
3) Early-stage WIP's (blanks only being prepared)
Breda Ba.65
CANT Z.1007

I'll try to complete the "advanced" ones by myself (they basically need only maybe adding few schemes - if any - and putting them on templates), but other ones might be more challenging, so if any of Established FD-scale Artists are interested in any of these then PM me and we can discuss the issue (or else I'll have to do them all by myself - not that I have anything against that in principle, but that would take significant amount of time ;) ).


Secondly - this time with pleasure - I'd like to announce that during the weekend I hope to post a long-overdue addition to Polish Wings. Unfortunately not yet the post-war stuff, but rather filling of the gaps with pre-war civilian aviation and never-weres (to an extent possible by amount of sources).

That is such a shame :(

I hope all is ok with Naixoterk and family, and that he can return soon.

I wish him all the best. He'll be much missed.

As to the Curtiss P-36/XP-37/P-40/XP-42/XP-46, I can take those on as the P-36 & P-40B/C are my children, and I have done the most work with the Later P-40 Models.

@Nighthunter
The Curtiss family are a 100% new redraws actually. And because I had some part in preparing them, I'd say that expectations (mine, that is) are high (read: Naixoterk-like number of paint schemes ;) ).
(and it's "product tying" - whole family, incl. P-37/-42 and P-46 or nothing 8-) )

So are You completely sure You're in? ;)

That is sad news.
I don't know enough about Italian and German colour schemes to contribute anything meaningful to completing these and I've lots of other SB work on the go.

Even if the blanks were completed that would be a very worthwhile start and would be very useful if others wanted to paint them up later on. It would be a shame to loose his works in the "WIP crack in the sofa" where several projects have already fallen...

I just found a reference sheet for the Republic of Texas 2.0.

I am sorry to see that Naixoterk has personal issues that prevent him fro taking an active part. I do hope everything is O.K with him and family, so that he can come back as a full contributor.
As for taking some of his workload I'm sorry to say that I'm not knowledgeable about these aircraft to give any helping hand. The P-40 WIP posted above, just shows how much Naixoterk will be missed :(
