Okay okay, it grew up after the painting was comissioned into a P-51 Mustang or a was it a Spitfire.....perhaps even a Lancaster

You want that gimmick on Facebook which changes your face into a movie star's (mine's Jason Statham... Jim's would be Worzel Gummidge)

Still find I am unable to edit posts on previous pages of this thread; I got the P-51 pilot's name conflated with another I've been studying... this should read Lt. Alden P. Rigby, not Capt. William Whisner.

The Biter Bit
I think it's finished... Lt Alden Rigby vanquishes a foe during the infamous attack of 1st January 1945 above Airfield Y-29
(already I can see a wonky cross on that port wing)

Looks great. And I see the drop tanks are finally jettisoned. About time. BTW. Thank you(Catfish too) for the information about hares. I apperciate that. |

Here's the improved version; according to the pilot's own account, they were taking off without tanks for that patrol... then the attack came in.

Work in progress...
This is, as you'll realise by now, the very roughest planning out of a new painting; an impressionistic mess at the moment... perhaps
Even though I've chosen to show the bombers being overhauled by the Messerscmitts from behind, by this stage of the war the Germans usually came at them head-on. I also took some photos to show this method of attack, but they'll probably get used at a later date.

Like it, even early stages look very promising mate. This did remind me of something I see recently. Possibly some ideas too? Take a peek, interesting story;
All the best mate. Fube P.S Sorry Steve and co. for the movie link but thought this was quite a worthwhile link. |

Funny you should come up with the Franz Stigler encounter, Fubes... when I was setting up the models to compose this painting, I took a few additional ones to help me produce my own depiction of that story later (see below) even though it's been painted several times already, I know.
Of course the model photography is for composition only... aircraft markings, armament etc, have to be changed. If I ever got around to painting it then I was planning to call it "The Guardian" or something like that.
