Default Had to stop building RV to paint Bomber
The problem with too many hobbies I guess . One of the Canadian aviation museums requested a painting of a pathfinder squadron Lancaster from the RAF Bomber Command.In between riveting the RV-8 I managed to pick up the brushes and work away at the painting.I thought I would share the result with the group in case anyone may like to see it.

Wow Paul, beautiful work.

Have you thought of selling prints?

Best of luck on your -8...

Default Ahh yes
Reminds me of the vintage flight (Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane) that flew over Buckingham palace during the Queens silver Jubilee in 1977...Yes I was there and boy all those Merlins sure made a pretty sound...

Very nice!

Paul has an amazing talent - he painted the Valkyrie a few months back....don't have the link handy, but you can find it here on the forums!

This one is spectacular! Now get back to finishing that RV Mr. Tuttle....you deserve one!

Thanks for the kind words Folks . Here are a few more I had kicking around the desk top. I apologise for the rather poor quality of the photos but its the best the little digital will do. Hope you enjoy.
