Just thought I would post some pics of paintings i did about 3 years ago. I don't paint anymore, lost my mojo so to speak. just don't enjoy it anymore. personaly these arnt my best but i was always critical of my own work.
I quite likes the Corsair too. very powerfull engine and gull wings. the mustang from what i remember was not only based on the later versions of the spitfire but the first mustangs were also made in England.
Great long-range fighter.

When I was in College, I worked at a small airport. There was a guy who kept a TF51?, I think that was the designation,(basically a P51 with dual controlls) there, Anyways it was a 2 seater trainer. I kept it washed and fueled up for him. He came out about twice a year and flew it. He took me up once, and it was amazing. So I would have to say that was my favorite.

I have a real soft spot in my heart for every one of those planes, and the men who flew them.
It took balls of solid steel to get into one of those - fighter or bomber - every day.
No advanced avionics or navigation aids, no guided missiles, just a bit of armor plate, a couple of machine guns and guts.
And those aircraft...! Form follows function, but every one of those piston-engined warbirds has a sense of power, grace and dignity that is somehow missing these days.
I don't think I could ever name a favorite - I love them all.
So many cigars, so little time...
