Cpl. Punishment Posted October 17, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 17, 2017 Hey all! So i am in need of help on the painting on this A-2 jacket. I have had someome express their worry to me and wanted to get another opinion to see what others think as well. I personally am no expert. I do know the cuffs on the jacket had been replaced. Thanks guys! The "hooch" bottle is what was giving me trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garandomatic Posted October 17, 2017 Share #3 Posted October 17, 2017 The bottle looks odd to me, like it was intentionally painted lightly to mimic age and wear. Very uniform, top to bottom. I'd suspect some part of it, especially, to be chewed up on the chest of a jacket that would be worn a lot. Same with the 9th AF insignia. The plane on the back, however, doesn't look bad, as I like its uneven wear. I dunno, man. I think I'd need to see it in person and see if the painting is consistent with other signs of wear. Not a very useful comment here, but I'd be at least 50-50 about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garandomatic Posted October 18, 2017 Share #10 Posted October 18, 2017 Heck it might be... I'm no expert, but i sure drool over all the cool kids' painted jackets, and have tried to study them. I'd definitely trust the judgements that came after mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDK Posted October 22, 2017 Share #11 Posted October 22, 2017 I agree with the others. Looks good. I think the poor photos make things tougher, but I definitely like it. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
