WagDatto Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Sweet! I love the look, a rising sun makes anything better! Only complaint (not just with yours, but with anybody's) is when you don't take the time to measure the rays. Take the extra 5 minutes to find the center point of your "sun" and make some even rays coming from it. Makes things look more organized/proper/put together. Otherwise, great job!

I know the rays are uneven I should of took the time to space them out evenly it was all by eyeball but, I guess you learn from your mistakes. I think it looks ok for the couple hours I put into it though..... Quote Link to comment

If you painted that on my wall I wouldn't knock it. :D:D: I now have a motif for the basement ceiling... thanks for the inspiration..:thumbup: Quote Link to comment

Skib Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) I can't see what it says. Is that an American plane that the artist painted the Japanese sun on? The offset rising sun flag was the symbol of the Imperial Japanese Navy. --> On American fighter planes (seen in this picture under the cockpit on the side of the fuselage) they represent a Japanese kill (shooting down a fighter/bomber) likewise a red/white Nazi party flag or plain swastika was used to represent German kills (seen the the picture below) the bombs also shown near the "S" in this picture represent successful bombing missions.

Braden Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I can't see what it says. Is that an American plane that the artist painted the Japanese sun on? no the little jap flags on the corsair represent each zero he shot down Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Right, but he quoted my picture I posted. I was trying to figure where the heck the Corsair was in that painting... So he was talking about a different picture. Now I know. Quote Link to comment
hughdogz Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Since the discussion has taken a turn, you might find this interesting, if not known already. At the beginning of WWII the Japanese had the upper hand, with much better pilots. Also, the Mitsubishi zero was a much more formidible aircraft than the Allied forces had. From Wiki: "In the Pacific Theater, the experienced Japanese used their latest Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" to clear the skies of all opposition. Allied air forces – often flying obsolete aircraft, as the Japanese were not deemed as dangerous as the Germans – were caught off-guard and driven back until the Japanese became overextended. While the Japanese entered the war with a cadre of superbly trained airmen, they were never able to adequately replace their losses with pilots of the same quality, resulting in zero leave for experienced pilots and sending pilots with minimal skill into battle, while the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan and U.S. schools produced thousands of competent airmen, compared to hundred the Japanese graduated a year before the war. Japanese fighter planes were also optimized for agility and range, and in time Allied airmen developed tactics that made better use of the superior armament and protection in their Grumman F4F Wildcats and Curtiss P-40s. From mid-1942, newer Allied fighter models were faster (Wildcat was 13 mph slower than the Zero, but the Warhawk was 29 mph faster) and better-armed than the Japanese fighters. Improved tactics such as the Thach weave helped counter the more agile Zeros and Nakajima Ki-43 'Oscars'. Japanese industry was not up to the task of mass-producing fighter designs equal to the latest Western models, and Japanese fighters had been largely driven from the skies by mid-1944."
