Our Favourite
Ask any artist and they will tell you that getting unpainted aluminium surfaces to look right is particularlyStratojet Shakedown by Craig Kodera difficult. In Stratojet Shakedown Craig has risen to this challenge with a superb rendition of the Boeing B-47, an aircraft largely ignored by artists, despite its important role in the Cold War and its influence on subsequent aircraft design.
