Belgium Tiger

This aircraft is "FA-71", part of the 31st Fighter Squadron from the Belgium Air Force. The squadron are part of the NATO Tiger association, and in 1998 they painted FA-71 up to represent them at the Tiger Meet. I had the pleasure in seeing this aircraft at Royal International Air Tattoo in 1998. Hope you like, it was a pleasure to paint.

So believable!! You've taken me right there & I can hear the roar of engine & the whooosh as the craft reaches its limits!! Love the clever use of the eye highlight as part of the tail handle! Your painting is becoming so precise & this one, your best work to date! Sue Finn

wow, what a perfect capture, not a slur or blur in sight! amazing photography!~

Artist Reply: Thanks very much for the comments, by the way the photo is of the painting, and the painting isn`t from an original photo, it`s a calmination of many photos to get the details right.
