The A-7 Corsair II was originally designed and adopted for US Navy purposes in Vietnam, but the US Air Force later adopted this airframe as part their fleet much like the F-4 Phantom.  The A-7D joined the USAF fleet in 1970 seeing plenty of operations in Vietnam and was eventually retired in 1991.  This will be another series of posts that will follow the development of one our JR1942 designs.  I hope you will enjoy the updates as much as I like to create the designs.

P-51 Complete.  After Action Review: illustrating brushed/polish aluminum is painful!

Almost complete, need to work on the tail section and it should be just about done.

Polished Aluminium applied.  My kids asked me how I made the silvery  skin and I told them my technique was similar to how they color, lots of vigorous scribbling with just a few colors...sometimes its just a lot of luck and deleting...

The last design of 2015 has become the first design of 2016, but she seems to be coming along nicely...

Tanks have an incredible amount of parts to illustrate making this design a lesson in patience, perseverance intermingled with several relaxing hours of destroying evil on the Play Station 4.  Tanks are so cool...

My oldest son like many of us loves German engineering.  Thus his request for me to draw a WWII Tiger I Tank.  I'm really looking forward to this one...my first request for a tank and adversary litho. both deadly and inspiring.
