5-stars from me!! They're all really effective, but the Strikemaster does it for me. There's an element of realism in the way its composed, the lighting, and the realistic looking skyscape!! Nice one!! thumbup1.gif

Nice.
I think I like the 109.
It gives the impression of pilot scarppering back to Germany after droppin its load below those clouds.

What a terrible movie. "Twelve o'clock high"'s way better.

Superb - all of 'em but of the ones that are there I think the 109 edges out the other contenders, however, if you had enhanced/re-run that one you did of the F4 formation emerging from a hole in the clouds, I would have happily put it on the wall!! That was just etherial!!

Thanks brad.....it reminds me of a shark on the hunt, popping out of the clouds for a look around.

I like what you've done with these. Number 3 especially I think is A++
And can't fault the 109 either of course, but 3 is just such a real angle of view (like I'm viewing it at an airshow). Well done.
PS is the Blunty in FS9 or X? I need to find something military for my FSX hanger asap to enter the competition with laugh.gif I guess I could always use the F86, but I think a kiwi plane has higher chance of gaining a few votes.
