Hi,

and here's the CSA page, compare the timeline to CLS. Note that both companies existed at teh same time during the 30's.

Best regards,

Here's a visual first impression. I've got a long way to go.

Very, very nice OleBoy. I like those reflections.

i'm not too sure about photoreal.... i mean it'd be great if the scenery was all photoreal, but it isn't so it looks kinda out of place.... like trying to hide a sniper in an urban area by lying him down in the middle of a square guaranteed to look outta place....

That looks so nice ! well done everyone involved.

I would figure with all the technolgy now to keep that from happening, that it would be more dangerous then to smoke around an airplane than now.

That was before airplanes figured out that they could leak fuel all over the ramp and create such hazards....

BTW, Those are some very nice screenies, OleBoy.

those airplanes probably leaked more than the modern ones but...

there were fewer lawyers back then

The flyer you gave links to, SG, will help with logo making. Thanks. From those links I was able to head other direction for more resource material. It took some crafty doing, but it paid off.

The hardest part yet is finding usable Czech text as it is on the sides of the 51. Hard to come by so far. Which is the reason I posted the picture of the Fokker.

That is a great photo and the clearest image of the CLS graphic I have seen so far. I may be able to find a type face to match most of the characters. The ČS is very stylized and may have to be constructed from the photos.

As I guessed Oscar Bravo...and very useful input it is, thanks for sharing.

See you all at Cheb!...
