Dear Friends.
Of course everybody is free to draw whatever they want (and we're free to think of it whatever we want - did anyone wrote anything about being rude?...
), but then there's the issue raised by Rhade - of communications and of suddenly posting unannounced work in
someone else's thread.
Acelanceloet's point about WiP list is a very valid one, esp. in light of such occurences like when Kilomuse posted Ansaldo Balilla and Caudron G.III while Darth Panda recently Cierva G.30, all of which were also done for Polish Wings, just not yet posted at that moments.
I'll think of it later (today I'll have a somewhat busy day).
That's obvious that if some plane has been already drawn before, then "what's done is done". Of course, we still may - besides (obvious) adding paint schemes - add other versions of the plane as needed, as well as make various alterations to the "core" drawing (wether correction of errors, updating what's outdated or just adjustments for styllistical preferences), but certainly the original Author would have his work recognized in the credits.
Also, I'd like to point that our current "claim" doesn't even extend to all planes
used by Polish aviation (as we're ok with using for our projects drawings initially done by someone else), but to those of
Polish origin. So if somebody suddenly would draw, for example, MiG-17, then I'd just say "tough luck" (but please, don't
), as we don't expect anyone to know which planes just happened to be used in Poland at some point in history. But there's somewhat different situation with aircraft of
Polish design or painted on the particular drawing in Polish colors as it's "Polish service" is then self-apparent so don't really need checking.
@Nighthunter
I could do a blank version of it if You're willing to wait a bit.
Btw. how is the work on Austrian and Finnish paint schemes for SAAB 35 Draken going?
