Slammer Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 ...or so it seems! One aircraft that I have always loved is Little Nellie from "You only live twice" I saw her doing her stuff at an airshow way back in the day.

sfriedberg Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 😁 Ah yes, rockets, machine guns and either (can't recall the movie) RATO units or smoke dispensers on an autogyro. This is like mounting armaments on a Volkswagen Beetle, or more accurately a Piaggio Ape. Nice illustration. I like the stylized shading. Reminds me of illustrations in many textbooks and kid's "all-the-world's-something" books. Given the age, those illustrations were almost certainly air-brushed, either from scratch or over a photo reference. Sofa Gas Rue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a stack of those books somewhere - loved the cutaways of machinery, super detailed and beautifully airbrushed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the comments, the movie was a James Bond one, "you only live twice" pangloy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
