Hey Ben298,

I know this ain't the Mossie at rest art your looking for, but it's one of the best I've seen of the subject and plan on getting a print myself. Click this link to a gallery of Keith Woodcock's art and scroll way down past the cars to the "Low Level Raiders" print.

Keith Woodcock (http://www.satiche.org.uk/keithw/gallery.htm)

A Mossie at it's finest!

[Agent X20]

I was able to interview Lou a few years back and a friend in England was able to find one of his cobat his reports in the archives at Kew. Recently he was on the cable channel on a special discussing the mosquito.

Hang on Mark......are you saying that you painted it :eek:

If so, you are very good. That would make a great bit of box art for a model :) .....it would also look very good on my wall :D

[MarkH]

Thanks David. Yes I did it, although it is digital rather than traditional.
Here's a thread with more of my stuff & a couple more:
