New type created : MD Helicopters MD 500

29th November 2021 Gaëtan MarieMD Helicopters MD 500

While helicopters aren’t my strong suit, I’ve done a few helo illustrations here and there. I recently had the opportunity to create an MD 500 illustration for a special project, and decided to make a profile of G-CIMJ as well. It was quite interesting to discover the history of the Hughes 369 / MD 500…Continue reading New type created : MD Helicopters MD 500

The TB-30 Epsilon, a little late !

23rd March 2020 Gaëtan MarieIllustrations

Last summer, I presented a work in progress of the SOCATA TB-30 Epsilon, but never got around to showing the finished work. I’ll correct this omission now, with a series depicting the Epsilon in French air force service. France operated 150 of these nice-looking trainers from 1983 to 2019. They were a crowd favorite at…Continue reading The TB-30 Epsilon, a little late !

Work in Progress – Bristol Brigand

14th October 2019 Gaëtan MarieBristol Brigand

I’m currently working on an aircraft that is more impressive than it looks : the Bristol Brigand. Designed as a replacement for the Beaufighter, some 174 were built as anti-shipping, ground attack or dive bomber aircraft and served from 1946 to 1955. Despite its size and maximum take-off weight of 39,000 lbs, it could reach…Continue reading Work in Progress – Bristol Brigand

Work in progress : TB-30 Epsilon

27th August 2019 Gaëtan MarieIllustrations

I haven’t been posting much recently as I’ve been very busy with work. The latest work in progress is the Socata TB-30 Epsilon, a French light military trainer that first flew on 22 December 1979 and entered service in the French air force in 1983. It also served with the Portuguese, Togolese and Senegalese air…Continue reading Work in progress : TB-30 Epsilon

Ireland, Chipmunk T.10 WD305, EI-HFB, Irish Historic Flight, 2016

Irish Historic Flight’s Chipmunk “169”

29th July 2019 Gaëtan Mariede Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk

The Irish Historic Flight operates three DHC-1 Chipmunks, including “169”, a Chipmunk T.10 which originally served in the Royal Air Force as WD305 until 1962. More information on 169, and the other aircraft operated by the Irish Historic Flight can be found on their website.

Work in progress / Coming soon : the de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk

16th July 2019 Gaëtan Mariede Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk

I’ve been working on the classic Chipmunk – a personal favourite that has proven trickier to do than I thought ! The template is about 95% done, but there are still some details to be added. Stay tuned for more !

Rafale Heavy

10th June 201910th June 2019 Gaëtan MarieDassault Rafale

Here is a heavily-loaded Rafale B from EC 1/4 “Gascogne”, wearing the “wolf’s head” of escadrille SPA 79 and carrying GBU-12s and the Damoclès pod. It carries multiple strike markings beneath the cockpit.  

The Roaring Three

13th May 2019 Gaëtan MarieAérospatiale SA.341 Gazelle

Just as last year with Bandit Nightmare, I’ve had the honour and the pleasure of working with 3/3 Squadron “Les Félins” to represent their latest NATO Tiger Meet entry: the Gazelle named “The Roaring Three”. The paint scheme is once again the child of designer Régis Rocca, and was painted by Seb “Harry” Bault. 🙂…Continue reading The Roaring Three

New template: Beechcraft Bonanza

10th December 20185th December 2018 Gaëtan MarieBeechcraft Bonanza

The Beechcraft saga continues with the Bonanza. In this case it is the F-33 aerobatic variant, with side, top and bottom views created. Despite being a rather sleek and clean aircraft, this was also a fairly challenging set of templates to create. With over 17,000 Bonanza/Debonair produced since 1947, the type ranks as one of…Continue reading New template: Beechcraft Bonanza

New template: Beechcraft Super King Air

5th December 2018 Gaëtan MarieBeechcraft King Air & Super King Air

This is somewhat further away from my comfort zone, but it was a great opportunity to learn about the famous King Air and the Beechcraft company ! Nearly 7,000 King Airs and Super King Airs have been built, making it a classic. If you take the time to look at it closely and from all…Continue reading New template: Beechcraft Super King Air
