Mint-

Had it been available at the time, that 4 Corsair B & W shot shoulda been the Corsair gathering poster!! Amazing shot, could pass for something out of WWII or Korea...

Wade, cant wait to see the final print....copies WILL be made available to forum members at a discounted rate, right?

Is it just me, or does the P-51 have an asymetric flap deployment ?

I posted this photo and thought it said 10D
but it is 1D and the photo belongs to Doug Fisher
who was sitting right next to me in the TBM.

Thanks for the credit Mint.

Mike DeMarino was flying the F6F and Chris Johnston the TBM at the April 2005 Warbird Weekend in Seveirville TN at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation.

Great little fly-in.

The F4F/F6F pics taken by Greg Moorehead were from the Warbird Digest B25 at Lancaster OH in 2005. Mark Watt was flying Steve Craigs F4F and Tim Jackson the POF F6F.

Cheers

Sure thing! :D

If, and I always say "if", the painting comes out looking OK, that is, I think it'll be marketable, I do plan on publishing this Corsair. What I usually do is complete a large(r) oil study and show that around offering pre-order discounts on prints.

I'd like to have you and anybody else interested to get on my email art newsletter list ... please email me at chicoartist@yahoo.com and I'll put you on it.

Thanks,

Wade

Whoa, Corsairboss - I just wanted to say that's one of the most beautiful shots of any subject I've ever laid eyes on ... those reflections and the glossy sheen on the plane really display a lot of interesting things going on within the plane's already-beautiful shape.

My paintings are usually of dull-finish military planes, usually in a wartime enviroment, so I don't get a lot of chances to add "interest" like that - in fact, I usually have to make up bounce-reflection interesting elements here and there!

Isn't that a copyrighted Paul Bowen photo?

My father flew with the RAF in Bomber Command, Coastal Command and then Transport Command. These were taken when he was in Transport Command flying on the Argosy.
