Hello gentlemen,
 hello Harry  

Since I got that job im putting out the big edits not that often anymore but from time to time I feel like it

Shown is a two ship Spitfire formation of the 309th FS, 31st FG USAAF lead by Cpt. L. P. Molland. While on a ptrol flight on the coast of Tunesia they found another 2 planes which proved to be 109s. While leading his small flight into the interception Molland opens fire and scores a lucky hit on one Messerschmitt. When the other pilot realizes what jsut happened he pulls out to get away as fast as possible.

Spitfire skins are by myself, 109s are by Cannon and Raven.

Thank you for watching gentlemen!

I have one question for you...how? 

Thank you!!

Gallery or not, I'm happy that I was able to get pretty close to what I had in mind after a couple of no-go's I had recently. That'S the best thing, the feeling when you finished one and put it on as wallpaper Must say the new LCD screen helps a lot too. Again NEC but this time the colors are WAY better, I eventually have smooth color transitions back instead of odd banding with the TN-panel display before.

How.. well.. the background consists of a few IL2/PF background images pasted together, the planes are all seperate shots too.. I think from the applied techniques this one isn'T even that though.

The "bands" under the wings are pitot tubes and antennas.

Wow 

I'm speechless (Other than this, of course).

One hell of an amazing edit!

*Has a new background*

Oh I thought he meant the Spit. Indeed, you're right there! Didn'T think of the 109s.
Well you are free to show them the other way around. I tried but I'm having a hard time with german fighters. Did it with the "Uhu" edit time ago though. For some reason the single engine german fighters don'T attract me as main subject, no idea why. For example the 190 which looks pretty neat i think, as of now I did not find a way to show her in an angle that satisfies me. I think she looks very nice from her 4 or 5 low looking slightly up to her though. Gonna try that I think

good choice. See, this is what is my inspiration, classical aviation art. I'm always trying to get results along their lines.

Well I'm far form recreating the master's backgrounds though and cleaning it from the planes to be recycled for me is no option.

wow brettr... thanks!

well I think we missed each other at SSA. Must not post there for over a year now. Posting quite regulary on SSP though. Not many of these "bigger" edits, that's true. Last one was "Early Bullet" more down here.

You are invited to visit SSP any day. If we can get over this annoying host problem we currently have..

Oh than it was you who broke it  Jsut kidding. Gallows Humor is the only thing left for me as it still refuses to work  Reset the DNS stuff etc. Hope that works but needs time until that got updated.

It's the 2nd time the last 10 days we run into that kind of crap.
