Thank you friends 
When the GA.11s were first introduced, in 1962, they went into service with the Fleet Air Arm. At that time they were used as ground attack weapons trainers and so kept the radomes.
Later, in 1969/1970, the aircraft were transferred to a civilian organization called the Fleet Requirements and Air Direction Unit (FRADU) and were commonly used as simulated air targets. In this configuration most had the radomes removed and the Harley lights fitted in the nose. Later on they received a new, all over Dark Sea Grey, paint scheme (I will do that pattern)
One of bitter problem is that I lost right oleo leg and nose leg crashed so I need to get good full size images and make them from scratch.

Warplane Art / Groeten uit Kinderdijk
« on: August 29, 2011, 06:33:27 PM »
Groeten uit Kinderdijkis the name of the painting I curently working on. Kinderdijk is area in Netherlands well known by the windmills and it is very attractive tourist destination. I decide to continue my series of painting but this time with aircraft in low level so I like to use this area as background. Aircraft chosen for this were Starfighter and I also decide to paint early grey pattern which is soon replaced with another type of camouflage.
As well the name remind on old greeting cards I have decide to paint aircraft is the style well known in the '50 and '60. This method features large and visible brush strokes, lack of many surface details, high contrast in shadows and highlight. In first moment I thought that this will be easy as well the same paintings look easy. I was wrong! It would be more easy to paint with as much as possible details which catch our eye and make work more attractive. To paint something simple but in order to make it realistic is not easy way. You see steps in work and I still work on this. At least I have change method and use flat rounded brush which is good for clouds, to paint aircraft. It can go somehow but this is still far away from completed...
