Found another one that was not quite perfect. I wonder if anyone could turn this into a splash screen for me? I've never tried that yet.

Ken, I would dearly love to have your opinions on this, since you are so good at Photoshop.

Nice work Kevin, but err why do you keep picking Griffon engined models? Are you and Roger ganging up on me? Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Nicely done Pip. My only criticism is that the RAF fin flash looks a tad twisted.

Yeah, it does, Doug. That thing gave me fits for about half an hour before I decided enough was enough...

Mark, you should know by now, I prefer a bit of performance with beauty.

Thanks for the comments everyone...
