Would be a striking image on any wall. The detail is astounding, as Gareth Hector is well known for. The giclees are sold out. Bougainville Island, October 18, 1943: The fight was days in the making. When Pappy Boyington flew over the airfield at Kahili earlier that week, a Japanese-accented voice radioed: “Major Boyington, what is your position?” “Right over your damn airport,” he replied, “Come up and fight!” But no enemy answered. This day was different. With his Black Sheep in tow, Pappy issued the challenge again: “Come on up and fight, you yellow bastards!” And this time, the Japanese sent their answer, launching some fifteen aircraft. The ensuing air battle would end with the Japanese fleeing, the Black Sheep victorious, and a new page written in the legend of Pappy Boyington. Your canvas will need to be stretched for framing. Any framer should be able to do this and it is inexpensive. It’s straightforward to do. The traditional way is to get four correctly sized stretcher bars, a pair of canvas pliers, and a small hand staple gun. If you wanted to do this for yourself, the pliers & staple gun might cost about $30, and the stretcher bars vary in cost by size, averaging around $20 to $30 for a medium to large canvas. These items are readily available at an arts & crafts store. Framing a canvas giclee is generally a lot less expensive than framing a paper print - no glass, mats, foamcore and a lot less labor. Never framed, stored flat in a non-smoking, climate-controlled environment. Check my feedback - it's excellent. I ask for the same consideration from you. Please follow through on your bid and pay promptly. I accept all electronic forms of payment offered through eBay. I will pack your canvas very carefully so it arrives undamaged. I will combine shipping for all prints you win in a single package to save on shipping when possible - additional prints go in the same tube at no extra shipping charge!
