Hello
Here is a study I made about polished metal surface aircraft.
I used the famous MiG-15 as a subject, in order to understand and develop new methods of depicting metal polished aircraft.
I will do a follow on to this one to study the depiction of weathering on aircraft with these kinds of surfaces.
All comments are most welcome.
Best regards to all

I think it’s an excellent rendering of the MiG-15. 😎 For all it’s historical significance, I think it’s still a fairly underappreciated warbird type (for now).
Also FWIW, the type of aluminum used to manufacture the MiG series isn’t a polishable matierial. Your artwork nailed the authentic look perfectly, but notice you’ll never see a MiG-15, MiG-17, etc with a gleaming chrome-like finish on it like some of its Western counterparts. The quality and type of material used simply doesn’t polish.

Hello
Thanks for your comments.
I wanted to test my skills at depicting bare metal aircraft: I plan to do a series of prints of the Soviet Aces of the Korean war, the famous Honcho.
Best regards to all
