A couple of preliminary shots of some reskinned J8A's wearing the markings of the Cetnicke Letecke Hlidky (Gendarme Aviation Patrol) used by Czechoslovakia for border patrols circa 1937-1939. A number of German aircraft were intercepted and forced to land by these aircraft.

The original aircraft were a variety of different Skoda, Letov and Avia biplanes. All bore similar markings.

I have been recently working on an Avia style laminated prop for these aircraft. This is an interesting prop as it is layers of wood bound up with a pair of cloth bandages on each blade with a brass strip along the leading edge. I am pleased with the overall result though the brass leading edge strip is still not looking quite right and needs work.
