★★★★★"I bought a print of this beautiful piece of art at the @daytonairshow from artist Craig Tinder with @aces_in_action. Not only is his talent endless but we had a great time talking with Craig and his wife after the show. I challenge you to find nicer people in the industry! In the mean time, check out their store and grab something that speaks to you. I promise you won't regret it!!!"

★★★★★"I just wanted to thank you again for the INCREDIBLE work you did.
Many, many tears were shed Christmas morning when my dad and uncles opened the canvas prints and the plaques. They were absolutely blown away and said it was the best gift they have ever received.
I can’t thank you enough for giving my family a piece our history and giving us a piece of my Pops back. I truly have no words, but rather a heart full of gratitude.
Thank you so much again!"

★★★★★"I collect a fair amount of military artwork rendered in all types of mediums, and so I also end up seeing a wide range of quality as well. Much of what is out there is rather mediocre. But every once in a while, as in your case, a true gem of an artist comes along. In my personal experience, both as a collector of military-themed artwork, and as a long-time student of much of the technology of warfare, your aircraft prints are among the very best I have had the good fortune to acquire. Above all, they are simply fascinating and enjoyable to just look at."

★★★★★"The custom plaques arrived yesterday, not only was the process much faster then I thought it would be, but the plaques look absolutely great! I really love them and I'm sure the rest of my siblings will love them too. Thanks for doing such great work, the plaques will be cherished and appreciated for many years to come.
On a slightly different note, I ordered a print of my dad's plane, it should arrive tomorrow, I look forward to seeing it too and am sure it will be every bit as fantastic as the plaques are,
I plan to check out more of your work, maybe there will be other prints I will want as well.
Thanks again for all you have done and continue to do."Tim L.![]()

★★★★★"I purchased several amazing prints from you at Warbirds Over the Beach this past weekend, and I wanted to make good on my promise to send you a picture of them once I got them displayed in my home! I'm very, very happy with them and honestly can't stop looking at them! I posted this and several other pictures to my Facebook page and gave your studio a tag, and several of my friends have already remarked on how much they like them as well! Thank you again for the opportunity to own and appreciate such unique works of art!"

★★★★★"As a lifelong WWII aviation enthusiast, I can tell you Craig Tinder's work is outstanding! I am very familiar with the aircraft, paint schemes, & aces of the time. Craig's attention to detail & accuracy is fantastic. The prints are beautiful with rich colors & subtle detail that almost jumps out at you from the paper. These prints will make a great addition to any home or office collection, as well as a great gift! I highly recommend them."
