It is not important how you will make color artwork. Goal is to be made in the 2D digital way but no problem to make it in oil or acrylic painting if you prefer.

Working size - in your PC you always work in the publishing size. This mean A3 or A4 form, 300 DPI. Here is presented in the web size, this mean 72 DPI 800 pixel wide just for the BBCode linked images

Good Work

Thank you Santino for this nice start. Here I am- I accept this challenge and I will make it as oil painting. This background which you see is prepared for the other airplane subject but I have change my mind and decide to make it as Sea Hawk. But this does not mean that I would not also make one digital version too

Just to give you some guidance: a colour shot of one of the Dutch MLD Seahawks.
'V' on the vertical tail surface meant it was based at Valkenburg naval air base near Rotterdam.

Valkenburg naval air base near Rotterdam.

Hmmm... not quite. Valkenburg is closer to The Hague, but to be more precise it's between Wassenaar and Katwijk.

And what about your work 

[mfg495]

In 1955 the German Department of Defence decided to purchase a total of 68 Seahawks for the German Navy. These numbers split into 34 maritime fighterbombers (Mk.100) and 34 maritime reconaissance aircraft (Mk.101). The aircraft were to equip the Marinefliegergruppen (later Marinefliegergeschwader) 1 and 2 and were to be used to defend the coastline and seaways to the Baltic Sea

In 1963 the Marineflieger began transitioning to the F-104G/RF-104G Starfighter what put an end to the Seahawks brief aera. Seahawks were officially disbanded in1965, allthough they continued to fly with MFG 2 until the end of 1966. Interestingly enough, the final Seahawk was delivered to the Marine after the official disbandment.

28 of the mothballed Seahawks were sold to Indian Navy, where they were also flown from aircraft carriers. India bought a total of 10 Mk.100 and 18 Mk.101.
