Damaged B-17...

...being escorted by two P-51 mustangs. This shot was done rather quickly.

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

[BrandonF]

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

[Frequent Flyer]

Much better, perfect!

Another great edit.

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

Nope it was my with my F6F-5 pic

The props are hard to get right and with practice you will get better..i hate doing 3 bladed props but i get around it

Also the rear mustang has to prop :O

[BrandonF]

I thought no one would notice that the rear mustang didn't have a prop. Darn! 

[Leigh]

I notice all

nar its just some little things ive come to look at in images even i forget the props sometimes after i upload and post a pic...but sometimes there not needed ie if the plane is to small.

I may post something up in studio V for composites in the next few days so watch out

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. 

[BrandonF]

Ah. That's a smart idea.

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