Looking AMAZING! I've always had that idea of using the shark mouth motif as an actual mouth for a plane monster(?) but, I could never really flesh out the idea, but you got it done here in a fantastic fashion!
If you ever do commissions, I'd love to commission something like this^^

Got to see one of the B-25s that had a 75mm gun mounted in the nose at EAA once. Did a double take walking by it in "Mitchell Row" (about 5-6 Mitchells lined up wing to wing). I was walking along, heading to look at Devil Dog and I just see this maw out of the corner of my eye. I stop, back up, and take another look. Talking to one of the crew, he'd had the privilege of talking to a few of the men who had been crew of one back in the war. He told me that the guy loading it would have to catch the empty shell casing before it left the area, because it would have hit the pilot or copilot, and you only got 2 or 3 shots off before the cockpit filled with smoke, so you'd have to go around to let it clear. By the time you came around again, they knew you had the gun, so the procedure was for 3 or 4 of the planes to line up and attack, one right after the other.
Actually, the model depicted was an actual B-25. When it was discovered how fast the B-25 could fly unimpeded by a bomb load, some were converted to carry a 75mm cannon in the nose, 4.50 caliber m/g under the cockpit and 4 more .50 calibers in the wings. Add to that the twin .50s in the tail and that model B-25 was the most heavily armed a/c in WW2. I'm a WW2 a/c buff and I learn everything I can about them.
