Recently finished the small oil study ... next up is the detailed outline of the plane, where I'll slide the canopy back so we can see the driver (LCDR Tommy Blackburn, CO of VF-17). After the outline is complete, I'll be doing a 1/2 scale pencil study, followed by a 1/2 scale oil study. The final canvas will follow that. Hopefully by then I'll know just what the hey-all I'm doing!
Got some annoying reflections on the canvas on this hand-held snapshot

, but I'll scan it in "proper-like" when the paint dries a bit.
