Airplane nuts, anyone know if this is anything special

That right wing is not quite right. Happens on many drawings/paintings. Having experience with the F-14, I look at much of the art and it simply not right.

 

If the planes would just be still and pose properly, I'm sure they could do better.

 

No doubt the artist has talent. But also just a re-creation of the pic found here:https://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads2&screen=829
with his own spin on it. added the bombs, slightly different markings and one extra Japanese kill *wonder what the significance of that is?

NO disrespect to the artist. I could only do re-creations also. Draw something while looking at it. Ask me to create a drawing from memory and imagination and you end up with something looking like a 1st grade stick house with a sun in the corner.

 

I think that is the same link I posted...IIRC it addressed the number of kills and the reason for the discrepancy, but I can access the link from work to verify. FWIW, most of the pilot's kills were in a P47.


Same plane, different site. There are a LOT of peeps fascinated by vintage WWII aircraft.

 

I think it’s bad ass regardless. It’s value is that a I like it.

 

That is a nice vintage PDF. (pencil drawn file).

 

That looks like Hana Lopa in the middle!

 

Off with his head.
