P-47 Thunderbolt, WWII aircraft in color
Trying my hand at painting an airplane. A co-worker's father flew Skyraiders in Vietnam, so I thought I'd see if I could paint something for him. Not my original picture, but thought it would be ideal for the painting. I typically do landscapes, but after a few trial and errors, I think this will make it to the flight line.
