No, these are not enhanced. I found these on a freeware site and wondered if anyone else had used them before. Pretty cool way of doing things too! Any one of these planes would be acceptable on their own merit, but together they are just awesome. Grin

V.Nice shots indeed Kevin, except the first one where it appears the ground crew have forgotten to replace the nose cone on the 109 Shocked

What is it with you Brits that you think you need to paint a target on everything? do the bad guys really need something to aim for?

Sadly this is the very one that was destroyed in the fatal crash at the Duxford Flying Legends display earlier this month. Sad

This has often occurred to me. As a Brit I can't think of an appropriate answer. Roll Eyes

Its to wind up the enemy. We paint a big target on the plane, and when they miss they get angry, they shoot more and miss more (proven psychological phenomena), and therefore waste lots of ammo whilst we laugh at them. Got to get our giggles somehow....

Ps. Has anyone noticed the problem with the roundels on the Spit yet?

Other than the fact that the top is cut off? I must admit I don't know about British markings as much as I should...

BTW, thanks everyone for the kind remarks. High praise indeed, considering the company I am in... Cheesy
