    Great picture, Barry. I must say this is one of the nicest and unique designs of the Second War, mostly because of it's wings shape.
    There were just three of the kind if memory serves well: Polish PZL P.11 (somewhat the other way around, the "Polish Wing"), the German Stuka and the Corsair.
    Any other?

    Great picture, Barry. Interesting variegations of blue on this one.
    Thanks for finding and sharing it.

    The Polikarpov I-15 had a gull wing on the top. The Mitsubishi A5m Claude had a gull wing.

    Long been one of my favorite aircraft since building a model in the very early 60's. And being a Jolly Roger is certainly a plus!

    Wonderful picture, Barry.

    We'll see those with WGS series 7.

    First picture is specially beautiful. For a moment I wasn't sure if it was painting.

    I think the Corsair has got to be my favourite WW2 plane.

    Thanks for whetting my appetite Baz.
