Reconstruction of the Thunderball Underwater Battle Artwork

Reconstruction of Frank McCarthy's artwork for the Thunderball "Look Down / Underwater Battle" illustration. It's based on the album cover of the stero version of the soundtrack. The lower / seafloor part is taken from the cover of the mono relelase of the soundtrack. Divers on the left are taken from the German "Look up/down" poster. Not a lot of artwork but this poster shows more than the US one sheet. The harpoon top is taken from the US 24 sheet as it's not visible in all other posters.
