ME262A I had been doing a whole series of aircraft portraits in the vain hope of selling to fellow pilots when I despaired at the time it was taking and the problem with reproducing them as prints. I decided that I'd have a go at duplicating traditional media using Xara and so this was a first experiment to achieve a technical airbrush style. I think Xara did a great job again and made the process a great deal quicker and reproducible. The difficult part here was in the "spray can" camouflage lines. Nothing came to obvious mind here until I tried multiple semi-transparent line blends. It would have been very much easier in something like Photoshop but I was determined that Xara would prevail!
