I think you've achieved that balance perfectly, Russ!  One can even sense Barker's amazement by his posture.  Truly stunning work.
Cheers,

It is B6313, his Camel from 28 Sqn. to 66 Sqn. to 139 Sqn. He scored 46 of his 50 victories in it making it the "King Camel" of the war. His kill marks are thin white stripes on the leading port strut.  I believe it to be the only British a/c to have victory markings.

Thank you. Now, I think I may have to get a Wingnut Camel whenever it comes out as Barker's Camel in this painting will be one to do.
