Hi guys, this edit is for all you blokes that enjoy an action scene. All the AC in this image are payware from WOP aka 2A2. In all 6 separate screenies were used to complete the image (2 screenshots of the B-17, 1 screenie for the “stangs” and 3 screenies of the 190s). Eight interacting AC in a single image could result in a cluttered mess, but the composite provides you with to flexibility of resizing and positioning the AC at will. In this instance I have also added contrails to enhance the flow of the action. The BG is a public domain photograph. The contrails, flak, smoke, fire and props were created in PS (Photoshop). Thanks for looking. Enjoy…………. Ziggy...

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Hmm mate, I'm not sure how best to answer your query.but I'll try. Square one is having an editing program that allows you to cut an object (eg aircraft) out of a screenshot and save it as a PNG file without any BG. This file can then be edited, resized and moved into any BG of your choosing. In this case only the B-17 screenshots were expressly taken for this image. All of the other aircraft are from PNG files of previous edits of mine. Naturally I had to re-size,color blend and adjust the lighting of these files to work them into this image. I hope this answers your question? Thanks for your kind comment.................... Ziggy
