Aircraft profiles

[Biff81]

How do you all make your aircraft profile art? Do you do it completely in Photoshop? Any tutorials out there? What tools do you use? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Would really like to get into this art, but do not know where to start.

I've found the best way involves an old aircraft, a steamroller, and a camera. :)

Seriously, I think most people use Illustrator or another vector-based graphics program to draw the shapes/panel lines, and then import the vector line art into Photoshop for painting. I believe there used to be tutorials in the Obstacle Course forum before the great crash of '06...maybe someone will repost?

Thanks for the reply. If anyone has that tutorial, it would be great if you could post it.
