There is few fascinating paintings by Shigeo Koike, definitely best aviation artist! I will highlight his Nieuport over the blue sky and another one, low level SE.5.
Cheers

WoW..that's the best version of that I've seen.. That's outstanding... The lighting is "highlight" in that one for sure.
Thanks for posting that.
