Fire‑Breathing Gills
Red‑hot airbrush flames spill from gills and bullet holes like a jet engine in combat.
Classic Bomber Pin‑Up
A wartime‑style mermaid on a bomb captures vintage nose art nostalgia.
Squadron Insignias
Authentic WWII‑era badges including bomb squad, parachute wings, and USAF roundel.
Warbird Meets Apex Predator
These are not traditional hammerhead shark mounts. They are a 56‑inch fiberglass sculpture painted to look like riveted bomber steel. From the True Flame effects pouring from the gills and bullet holes to the hand‑painted vintage WWII nose art and adorned with their Squadron and Qualification Badges. Airbrushed by artist Greg Cassell, these personalized showpieces blend the shark's anatomy with war‑era bravado. No decals, just raw art for collectors who demand both edge and authenticity.
This Hammerhead mount turned heads at the 60th Annual Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival, where it earned a Major Award for originality and craftsmanship. Out of hundreds of entries, Greg’s bomber-style concept stood apart for its raw detail, vintage nose art, and the way it blends shark anatomy with WWII-era design.
“This is hands down the best quality of replica mounts! The paint quality is outstanding. The best part is they are quick and have very fair pricing.”

More About This Hammerhead Shark Mount Replica
This 56-inch Hammerhead Shark Mount Replica is a handcrafted, one-of-a-kind showpiece inspired by the bold designs of World War II aircraft. Built in Florida by award-winning airbrush artist Greg Cassell, this fiberglass shark sculpture draws from the aesthetics of nose art, riveted paneling, and military insignia. From the rivets to the weathered paintwork, every detail is meant to evoke a vintage warbird in marine form.
The left-facing wall mount is fully double-sided and designed for display in both indoor and outdoor spaces. True flames expel from the gills, along with stenciled kill marks and qualification badges, adding intensity and realism to the combat-worn aesthetic. The surface detailing includes faux aluminum panels, aircraft rivets, and hand-painted burn effects that mimic heat damage from combat missions. Even the painted bullet holes vent burn trails, giving the sculpture a sense of movement and impact.
Collectors often refer to this piece using terms like WWII bomber shark décor, riveted fiberglass shark sculpture, custom shark wall mount art, and military-inspired marine art. These aren't marketing phrases. They're accurate descriptions of the visual story this piece tells. It's not a replica of a fish caught on the line. It’s a stylized tribute to American aviation and creative combat history, built onto the form of a predator known for its power and presence.
Each feature mount is crafted in the USA and built to last. This one is available now for collectors who want something bold, different, and grounded in both artistry and story. Unlike mass-produced pieces or decals, this is sculptural wall art designed to spark conversation and admiration.
