These pictures are FANTASTIC!!!! Wish i could paint anywhere near as good as this… I love the Lancaster raid in the first group. I would gladly pay for that…

Hi Dave
Your pictures actually look quite painterly, and requires artistic as well as technical skill. So don’t be so modest 😉
Very nice indeed. Look forward to seeing more “cobbled together” shots in the future. I’ve done a few of these kinds of pictures many years ago, so am glad to see others doing it well.

Yes, they are beautiful, aren’t they? Its amazing to me that we have so much talent out there, just waiting to be discovered.
Unfortunately, in the real world, as in most situations, its not so much what you know or do, but who you know or who gets you known, that dictates if you make it big or not.
While I acknowledge the talent that established aviation artists have, I do know that there are many more out there who are equally talented, or maybe even more so.
We have all seen PaulC’s work here, and I must say his ranks up there with the best of them.
Here are a few more ‘Stang prints by various aviation artists:
Gentile And Wingman by Henry Godines
Time To Go To Work by Dan Zoernig
White Flight by Darrel Crosby
and one of my all-time favourite Mustang prints:
Two Down, One To Go by William S. Phillips

Afternoon,
I was wondering whether anybody could recommend anywhere in particular to buy an aicraft painting or two to grace my living room walls, my main preference of course being a nice Mustang painting. I’ve tried googling but with little success so far.
You need look no further than eHangar.com, the aviation art directory and portal. I believe eHangar.com has the largest selection of Mustang aviation art on the planet 😀
Would 100 titles depicting the P-51D be enough for you? Or the 31 prints showing the P-51B/C?
eHangar.com currently has more than 1,500 aviation art in its Aviation Art directory, 529 entries in its Aviation Artist directory, and many Dealers, Galleries and Publishers in its other directories.
(note: eHangar.com does not sell any aviation art – it is a directory and is not tied to any dealer, gallery or publisher)
Key in a search keyword and find practically any print you want. There are also many cross-references to related subjects in the detailed listings.
Some examples of great Mustang aviation art:
Checkmate! by Heinz Krebs
Fortress Delight – Red Tail Rendezvous at Dawn by Jay Ashurst
Homeward Bound by Lam Van’t Hof
No Quarry Today by Domenic DeNardo
Mustangs Over Bremen by Robert Taylor
Mustang Menace by Robert Bailey
Man-O-War by Jody Fulks Sjogren
Leiston Legends by Jim Laurier
Just Short of Dover by Randall Scott
Young Eagles by Jim De Vries
Hope the above have whetted your appetite 😉 Head on over to eHangar.com for more and join a community of aviation art collectors and enthusiasts, andaviation artists (both established and aspiring).

Hi Paul
Your work is brilliant! Do you have a website selling and showing off your work?
I would like to showcase some of your work on my website, eHangar.com, which is an online directory of aviation art and aviation artists. The site helps new and established aviation artists show off their works as well as provides a community and virtual meeting place for aviation art collectors and enthusiasts.

Hi B-17man, and let me belatedly add my welcome to you to these forums. Great shots, and thanks for sharing. I visited UK in 1990 and only managed to see Sally B dressed up as the Belle, but it was treat enough for me, being a warbird virgin 😉
Looking forward to more shots if you have any…
If anyone is interested in Aviation Art prints of the Memphis Belle, you can do a search on the link below and find practically every available print on the Belle! 🙂

eBay is also the Aviation Art collector’s and seller’s friend 🙂
There’s quite an active trade in all kinds of aviation art on eBay. For the collector or casual enthusiast, you can get some real good bargains there, as well as some rare prints, both old and not-so-old.
For the seller, both private individuals and dealers (and even aviation artists), eBay offers a chance to sell excess inventory. Some prints are even bid up to very high prices.
A few days ago, a small black and white companion print – Tank Busters by Robert Taylor – was auctioned off for US$355. Normally, a full-sized Robert Taylor colour print would retail at US$295. (btw, I have this print, number 1/50 😀 )

Wow, the gun bay looks just like the Airfix 1/24 kit I built many years back 🙂
Can’t wait to see her fly! Superb. Did this one have a combat history in BoB?

Lightning aviation art
While we’re on the subject of the Lightning, there are some nice new aviation art prints released to commemorate the type’s 50th anniversary first flight in August 1954.
I’m posting them here for the enjoyment of all Lightning fans here 🙂
Long Live the Lightning! 😀 🙂 😀

Its only on this forum that all us obsessed aviation nuts can talk about this and be interested in each others’ stories. Lord knows, even our other half’s are not as interested 😉
One of my earliest memories of me is me toddling down the department store aisle toward the rack of Airfix kits, in those days in 1967/68 they were sold in plastic bags with the instruction sheet forming part of the packaging. I begged my parents to buy a kit for me but it wasn’t until a few years afterward that they finally relented and my mum helped me fix the Mirage jet and my brother’s F4U Corsair.
Books and comics on aircraft fueled my interest and plastic modelling came naturally. I pored over all my Airfix catalogs which are still a treasured collection until today.
Moving homes as often as I did meant that most of my precious models got broken and parts lost, and it was too heart-breaking to continue and also too little time to get really good at it.
When I started working, I discovered aviation art and decided that while I could not enjoy my models on displays, here was a ready-made picture, and many of them came signed by my childhood heroes too, and my love for aviation art was born in 1989.
Quitting my job and travelling to the UK to attend 10 airshows from Jul-Sept 1990 was a dream come true for me. My home is filled to the gills with aviation stuff, books, memorabilia, aviation art etc 🙂 I’m glad I have a tolerant and understanding wife who 😉

My first warbirds airshow was in end-June 1990. I had quit my job as a journalist in Singapore because my bosses would not give me a 3-month no-pay leave to go over to UK to attend the airshows 🙂 I especially wanted to be here to attend all the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain airshows.
My first view of ‘real’ warbirds was when I was walking toward the North Weald airfield when a formation of four Harvards from the Harvard Display Team roared overhead. I’ll never forget the sight and remember it even now with fondness.
I’ll also never forget my first sight and sound of the Spitfire and its Merlin. Beautiful. All in all, I attended about 10 airshows that summer, including Farnborough and the BoB anniversary, during which I took the following, one of my favourite shots, of MH434 flying over the cliffs of Dover on Sept 15, 1990:
I took about 90 rolls of film and had to sell one of my two cameras to develop the pictures when I returned home 🙂 Oh, I also took up photography and learnt how to take pictures shooting birds at the local bird park to prepare myself for the airshows! 😀
One of my dreams was also to meet with some World War II aces and personalities, and this too I achieved.
My next dream is to make enough money and buy homes in the UK and USA and attend airshows every airshow season 😀 🙂 😎
