A19-077
NZAI CT-4A AirtrainerThe New Zealand-built CT-4 Airtrainer is a fully aerobatic training aircraft developed from the four-place Victa Aircruiser prototype, itself a development of the successful two-place
Victa Airtourer. The CT-4 has been used as an ab-initio trainer by the air forces of Australia, New Zealand and Thailand.
Ordered by the RAAF as a replacement for the Winjeel, the first of 51 CT-4As arrived in Australia in January 1975, with the final aircraft delivered in June 1982.
A19-077, s/n CT4-077, is shown here as it appeared in 1993 when operating with ADF Basic Flying Training School.
The Artwork
These
digital profile illustrations are all created by myself, Graeme
Molineux. They are created from scratch using Affinity or Adobe
illustration software. Each type takes between twenty and one hundred
hours to complete. They are not retouched photos, nor are they the
product of any kind of CAD or 3D rendering software. They are,
effectively, digital paintings. Every Grubby Fingers profile is
meticulously researched using my own photos and repair and maintenance
manuals, when available. Many reference images are collected and, where
feasible, I study an actual prototype. The illustrations are
high-resolution and very detailed. Each illustration is a result of
hours of painstaking research and attention to references. (My 53,800+
reference photos are available, free for non-commercial use, from my
main website: grubby-fingers-aircraft-illustration.com.)
