All shots from IL-2. I've been working through some old screen shots.....I have over 15,000 stored :wacko:

This one interests me. The rego is R7058. Cant find anything on the net to explain why the upper wing roundels are so far inboard...if you can explain, it would be appreciated.

Those are all superb shots. Without showing my bias, the 190 looks the most menacing.
Nice to see a couple of RNZAF types in the mix.
The Spitfire with the roundels so far inboard was one of the first PR types used. Most of the early PR Spitfires carried the roundels that far inboard..according to the article on PR Spitfires in Wings of Fame.

I'd forgotten how good the models in IL-2 were. These shots are all gorgeous. I love that Fw-190 too!
