So for a long while Ive been wanting to make a decent representation of a Spitfire. Searching the internet, there are model Spitfires from the usual model makers etc and some larger ones from mass produced Asian market.
What I cant find is a faithful representation, they all seem to be either badly cast or stamped plate which bear little resemblance to the real thing.
Funny you say that - I've felt the same for many years; often going as far as to pop into antique shops, if I am walking by, just to see if they have a vintage one.
Having seen the quality of your other projects, I'm sure this will be equally impressive.
Quite a few years ago I stumbled across a self taught artist, who was inspired by the Roy Cross, who was the artist who did the Airfix model box art for over a decade. I didn't want the Spitfire shown 'in anger' but rather depicting what I deem to be an aesthetically beautiful machine and this painting does just that. It is impossible to capture how lovely (to my eyes) the oil painting is but I do believe he captured this elegant aircraft perfectly. A small, poorly taken, photo of part of the subject of the painting!
