After shooting at some Ju87’s and claiming one destroyed, Finlay Boyd climbed to form up on some Hurricanes…unfortunately they were 109’s…which promptly chased him back to the coast. The 109’s turned back except one, Finlay when into a climbing turn and got onto it’s six, closing to 70 yds , he shot it down just off the coast of the Isle of Wight. Jg 27 lost 6 aircraft that day, but the only one that I had code letters for was I Gruppe Jg27 109e4 9+, piloted by Lt G Mitsdoerffer, The Luftwaffe pilot survived the attack and became a POW.
The drawing will show the action just after the attack, as Boyd fly’s over the stricken 109, just above Ventnor and Whitecliff.
Composition below and the final drawing will be the usual 2b and 4b pencil on smooth 300gsm card.
There is just one thing, the 109 nose, which looks a bit off for me, but it can also be the perspective. I think it looks abit to rounded and not so typical edged for the 109-Emil.
First off…all the best for Xmas and the New Year…hope you all get what you wish for!
It’s been great here…I get to spend time with the family and DRAW!!!..anyway’s a good few more hours in and it’s shaping up…
