Nice to see Jimmy. Good effort there Greg

I'm not too happy with how these turned out, but...

I reckon they still look pretty good. One thing that sticks out though Greg is the blue on the Corsair, it looks too dark and too green tinted on my monitor for USN Blue Gray.

I would really appreciate some more Luftwaffe fighter plane/pilot pictures. Cheers Christoph

I spoke with a vet of this campaign and he told me shortly after this picture was taken the flag was moved to a different position a radio tower was erected because it was the highest point .The Vets name was Mr Khlar from NY ,did not say much about the battle to take control except to say the only good Jap is a dead Jap .
