Picture removed to comply for the rules. Will soon post the finished version

Very cool but please make sure to add credits asap to the last few drawings

After seeing the movie the "First Man", I'm in Space mood:
Orion MPCV

Good evening!
Before the Val, before the Dauntless, there was the Blackburn Skua!

Credited with the first sinking with dive bombers in WWII, here is depicted as aboard the Ark Royal trying to hunt the pocket battleship Graf Spee in the South Atlantic in 1939. Also shown is the Skua during the sinking of the German light cruiser Konigsberg in Bergen in 1940 flying from the Orkney islands. The last drawing is of a Skua operating from the Ark Royal during Operation Catapult, also in 1940. Cheers.

I forgot that I should've asked it first I was going to add proper credits when it is finished, but now that you mentioned it, should I take the picture down, just in case if it's violating the rules?

Yes if stuff does not have credits, don't post it! This should be obvious... help us avoid having uncredited work scraped from the forum and reposted elsewhere...

This forum has a very wide readership -- many hundreds of lurkers -- and work is routinely pulled from these threads.

Excellent work Kyle.

The Skua looks great reytuerto, any chance of a Roc?

I join the praise on the Squa, and think that the Roc is a simple modification of the Squa by adding the Defiant turret.

Thanks, Hood and Novice. Roc is already scaled, but is aesthetically so ungaingly that I am drawing it very slowly . May I ask you a pair of historic and aerodynamic questions?, do you know why the windshield is so vertical in almost all british naval fighters? Was that characteristic a factor of the relative poor preformance of the Skua? Thanks and cheers.
