Westland Whirlwind

My second attempt. Again, I have used Polychromos pencils, but this time I thought I would try a monochrome rendering using a number of shades of grey:


The original version had no background (ie, the view of the Kent country-side through the clouds) and I'm not happy with this result as I think it detracts from the Whirlwind.

The Westland Whirlwind was the RAF's first single-seat, twin-engined, cannon-armed fighter. It was one of the fastest aircraft when it flew in the late 1930s, and was much more heavily armed than any other. However, development problems with its Rolls-Royce Peregrine engines delayed the entire project and only a relatively small number were ever built.
