Putting aside the paint color …

Converting it to the American MK V No. 9591 means some changes to the sponson.

I think mine may be too narrow. (Reference pic shows it retracted for transport.)

I will sleep on it.

Are these all of its markings, or would there have been more?

I was going to be generic as I finished this painting, but I’d now like to represent it and the crew.

Finished? I think so. It’s down to tiny adjustments.

I am never sure what is enough re: rigging. This seems to me to offer enough of an impression to be credible. Agree?

USS Constitution (inspired by Duncan Gleason). 14x18 Oil on canvas.

This morning’s work: made my Tommys a bit taller, and started fleshing out the tank. Maybe more this afternoon - but it is a nice day, so maybe not.

Fixed the radio antenna and the prop. Better, I think.

P-40 Warhawk, oil on 8x10 canvas.
