Description
Seversky J-9, supplied to the Swedish Air Force in 1940. It had a more powerful engine (1065 hp Twin Wasp) a lengthened fuselage, and was more heavily armed (two 7.9 mm machine guns and two 13.2 automatic cannons) than the P-35 from which is was derived.

The J 9’s did a valuable duty during the neutrality watch as successors to the obsolete J 8 Gloster Gladiator and saw service until the 1950's.

This piece was created in Illustrator CS and is entirely vector.

The shading was rendered using the blend tool between different vector shapes, and a some use of the gradient and transparency tools.
