"Battle of Britain"

Postby Leigh » Sat Apr 04, 2009 4:27 am

During the summer of 1940 a vicious air battle was raging through the skies above Great Britain.

Many RAF and Luftwaffe planes were lost during the battle and many pilots as well.

I hope you enjoy.

I'm happy to see I'm not the only person with the courage to post a shot of a 109 taking down a Spit. ;D ;D ;)

Excellent work! You did a very nice job on the smoke and flames, and I like the sense of speed you created with the 109. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

:) No problem with that. It's historically accurate.

If it was Tom Cruise or Ben Affleck winning the BoB single handedly in a North Republic P-57 Thunderstang (and swooping low over a surfaced German U-Boat to grab an Enigma machine), it'd be another matter. ;) ;D

Wonderfull edit. Great work on the flames, smoke and wing.
You addet loads of detail, like the canopy...just noticed that its open and the glass flying pretty close to the plane. That gives a real sense of action to it.

Hands down .
