Very nice. I think Sean used a similar background shot a while ago.
It would've been perfect if you'd fix the prop.

I fixed the prop to make it a little better. Still not perfect, but better. Wink

Another great edit. Shocked

Also, does anyone know why are the engines painted olive drab on one side, and steel on the other?

While I was going the edit I noticed this. I was wondering the same thing.

Thought the questionable rudder was the biggest problem 'til I saw #'s 1 thru 4 appear to be stopped

the main reason as I was told by my 78 yr old grandfather for the Olive Drab/Shiny cowls, was so that when the pilots looked out the window, they would not be blinded by the sun glaring off the engine covers. from their point of view, who cared what the far side looks like, as long as they could see out the window to where they were going.

Very nice edit. I recently read this article which is sort of relevant and quite interesting.
