This painting/computer composite was in an aviation mag in full-size last month, it is amazing, I think you will agree:

So tempted to buy it in full size, it has so much detail!

Wow, that is spectacular! Reminds me a bit of Robert Taylor's style.. He's my favourite aviation artist. I will at some point buy a full-size print of his "Return to Duxford" here:

I took airbrush lessons from this guy and he is the best IMHO and it's all done by hand. The guy has sold a lot of prints.
