Current WIP

This is a couple of Ordnance deck crew from VFA-151, based on a US Navy Photo.
As always painting figures is a great way to improve your painting skills.

Pensacola Texan - T-6B Texan II

This is a quick colour study, worked from a photo I took last year at Pensacola. 6 hours work spread over about a 6 week period.

Five photos showing progress

The painting is now complete, although this photo does not show the last few details that have now been added.
