Splendida!
Adoro le pin-up in ambientazione WWII.
Il viso Γ¨ molto bello, con quell'espressione birichina.

Bello che tu lo abbia colto: volevo proprio darleΒ quell'espressione birichina.

Le pin-up classiche sono affascinanti proprio per quel loro mix di sensualitΓ e spensierato divertimento. Il nostro Elvgren era il Maestro in questo.

Gorgeous work! Β This one's going into my military pinups file for certain!
This appears to me to be a Douglas SBD Dauntless Dive Bomber. This was the real hero of the Battle of Midway in June of 1942. After the Douglas TBD Torpedo Bombers virtually were shot out of the air on their low level torpedo attacks on the Japanese carriers, they had pulled the Japanese fighter cover "down on the deck" and allowed the dive bombers a free hand in pouncing from above on the four Japanese aircraft carriers that were caught with aircraft on their decks refueling and changing from ground target bombs to anti ship armor piercing bombs. They destroyed all four Imperial Japanese Navy carriers and many of their experienced pilots. Between the Battle of Midway and the 1944 "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianas⦠ the US navy had essentially destroyed the flower of the Japanese Navy aviator corps.

Wow, thank you for your appreciation of my work which means so much since you are a true expert. With regard to the model plane, to be honest I'm not able to give you details ... I did this illustration, with two other paintings for the book "Wings of Angels" by photographer Michael Malak which I think could give you more information on the model plane.
If you want to look at the whole picture here is the link:

and these are the other two selected illustrations for the book that I mentioned:

Yes, definitely a Douglas SBD Dauntless. Β Simple and rugged, did the dive-bombing job extremely well. Β Underneath the plane you can see the bomb-carrying rack for the 500lb bomb which swung the bomb down during the dive to clear the propeller when it released. Β The rear flaps are augmented by the perforated "dive brakes" which were extended during the dive to keep the plane under control.
I served in the US Navy Vietnam on riverine craft, but I have always been interested in Naval Aviation.
Thank you for the links to your other works!

All systems checked, I'd say we are clear for takeoff...
The details and coloring are amazing. Not to mention proportion wise. And the reflexion on the tights, it's really awesome.
And even if there isn't much of the airplane that you can see, what you can see, it's really accurate and very well drawn.
