Hurry up

Here you go Gastrick & Earthman. Sorry it took a while but handpainting this thing took me longer than I anticipated. The Red & Yellow pattern is from the 357th Fighter Group, 8th Air Force, from WWII. Specifically in honor of "Ace" Fighter Pilot Capt. Clarence "Bud" Anderson's P-51 Mustang nose art. It's a long story but his plane has become a huge inspiration to me. The yellow looks washed out because of the bright light but it's actually really bright yellow.


Let me know what you think.

That's awesome T-1. Sorry I didn't see your post sooner. I really like it...and the story behind it.

I like it! You need to mount an air raid siren on your ride too.

Thanks Gastrick! Yeah, it has that crash test look to it too! The real reason behind it is the P-51 Mustang though. Thanks to you too, Moronthethrottle. I found a nice propeller hood ornament that would look kind cool but it got away from me on paybay.

To really appreciate the checkerboard pattern you need to see the artwork on the P-51 fighter itself. Check this out. It's a fantastic site.

Great tribute to one of our greatest fighter pilots, T1. Any plans for a continuation of the "Old Crow" theme ?

Any comments - ANYBODY??? Sometimes I wonder why I post pictures on here?? Even negative feedback is better than no feedback.

Looks allsome!

I love airplane art!

My great uncle flew the Hump in the CBI Theater in WWII. Wrote a book about it. The B-24's in his squadron had some cool art on them.
