Why, thank you !
I originally wanted to put it on an image of a weathered cheap poster paper and merge the layers together, to enhance the effect. But it's not that bad in its current state, yeah.
I'm no stranger to "air forces brag about themselves" posters - I did a similar one last year for Linkwerk's TL about Ayn Rand in Katanga.

I've dealt with aircraft that appear to be from the same era (I once cleaned twenty years of debris from the engine of a C-47), and mountain forests? I live in the shadow of the Cascades. Barring the language, you could use it as a poster for an independent Alaska or British Columbia or something, and that's something that just gets my creative wheels turning.
I can practically see the guys with the leather helmets and flight jackets running out to their aircraft to respond to an alert radioed in from a spotting tower on the border...
Indeed.
Well, given that my Sparrow Avengers setting is basically "Crimson Skies if it happened to central Europe after WWI", such scenes are extremely common, I assure you.
And the DROK's air force is one of the poorer, lower tech ones, so you can expect that some countries in the setting have more than a few shiny mean machines up their sleeve.
The air pirate bands that appear in the setting (mostly as villains, but also in more good guy roles, including the titular Sparrow Avengers) are a whole other chapter, with their peculiar on-board "culture" and idiosyncracies...

Speaking of the setting, I nearly forgot that I've recently completed a definitive version of a poster I made for it at least four years ago.
So, here it is, a 1930s air defence PSA poster of the Košice City State. It's nothing really new, since I've already made the second poster since then and even combined the two into a pair.
But I think the addition of the wall texture behind them makes them a lot more atmospheric. You can now actually imagine them being glued to a wall in a more rundown street of the city, with passersby occassionally pausing at them and reading them out of boredom.
Translation of the text (featured in Slovak, Hungarian, German and Yiddish):
"Citizens of Košice ! Report all suspicious airships to your local anti-aircraft defense guardhouse !"

This is the best thing evar.
To celebrate the new update of Agent Lavender (the same TL Roem's poster was from), here's my effort:

If possible, the following I would like:
Modern-day Anti-Russian Japanese propaganda
Modern-day Anti-Japanese Russian propaganda
Russian propaganda urging Japan to accept Hokkaido as Russian
Russian propaganda promoting Hokkaido as a Russian puppet/vassal
Japanese propaganda calling for Hokkaido to be liberated
Japanese propaganda showing Russian as evil/barbaric occupiers of Hokkaido
