Default 453 Sqn Spitfires, 9 July 1944

Today's 'work in progress'




This is a digital sketch done on the computer, using photographs of models, and is a commission from an author and Facebook buddy who's produced a couple of books about the exploits of spitfire pilots from Down Under

It shows the scene when eight Spitfires decided to mix it with around fifty german fighters, climbing to attack them head on with engine boosts engaged, knowing of the Germans' disdain for head-on confrontation. They successfully split the enemy swarm as it came down, subsequently claiming four destroyed & six damaged for no loss

There are no terrain or cloud details here, neither are the aircraft properly detailed yet... this will happen at the actual painting stage
