672nd Fighter Wing, Red Dragon Squadron Imperial Navy - “The Red Baroness” (SPRING CLEAN CHALLENGE 2021 by Zebraoutrider)
Project Inspiration
As with all my projects I need inspiration. I’ve also learned from 2020 to not be over ambitious as it can affect my motivation to complete large scale projects. I’ve still got two active projects open-ended, but really enjoyed painting up Commander Glofski’s Tank Squadron last year as the Spring Clean Challenge, that I’m creating a new project which will require similar effort and won’t drag on. Hence, after reading an article on the Warhammer Community website on Imperial Navy Heroes, I have dug out my latest unmade models to join my collection – Forge World’s Lightning Strike Fighter, Thunderbolt and a couple of Necromunda characters to convert into the pilots…
Inspiration has come from the graphic novel by Wayne Vansant (2014) on the history of the Red Baron, but also from the WW1 films of the Red Baron and the Blue Max. Further inspiration came from reading about a couple of fighter pilot aces in a White Dwarf article that actually was geared towards the Aeronautical Imperialis (small scale/epic) GW game.
