Description The reknowned Corsair in the markings of Naval Squadron VF-17, "The Jolly Rogers". I love doing aircraft if the Pacific Theater in WWII. There are some fantastic colors to the water and vegetation - not to mention the bright sunlight.

Man, I love the Corsair, one of my five favorite aircrafts of all time. My Dad is a Marine and so this plane to me is synonomous with the Marine Corps and the Navy. Not to mention Pappy Boyington is one of my top heroes. Bravo!

You did a very good job on this. The Corsair has been my favorite aircraft since I can remember. Always loved their color scheme and the overall shape that they have.

Fantastic painting. The corsair rocks of course but the ocean/beach sell it.

This really convey the atmosphere of the Pacific theatre, though a bit more of the vegetation would have been even better

No, I haven't done anything yet which features the Zero as the main subject. I hope to do one one day but haven't hada chance to get to it yet. I also want to do a Val.
