    Default Martin XB51

    The plane first flew in 1949 as an attack aircraft, later changed to a low level bomber. This unique tri- jet lost out to the Canberra. Plane 100% vector, background mix of vector and digital painting.

    You are still the King of the aircraft illustrators.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Was in the Air Cadets and on summer camp flew the Canberra from North Sea to Germany for at least 45 minutes without auto-pilot, great memories, Gary! Nice drawing,well executed in vectors as it makes it difficult to get it dirty, shame about the plane's design doesn't look right it's the engine pods.
    Design is thinking made visual.
