I like 'em! As an aviator my favorite of these four is the Me 262. As you mentioned these are four making me think you have a collection of more than what you have here.

And if you could add another one with these on it I would be most elated;
No please, no UFO on the splatch screens.

That UFO is actually in the game as the Go 229...but I prefer the 262 anyday.

I prefer the two of them myself. Im sort of a polygamist in that sense I guess. [:o][:'(]

Perhaps you would prefer these little beauties for a Patton in Flames addendum?; [X(]

Amazing works of art. The overwhelming beauty just staggers the imagination! [:D]
Germany's unforgivable crime before the Second World War was her attempt to extricate her economy from the world's trading system and to create her own exchange mechanism which would deny world finance its opportunity to profit.

This little beauty is too glorious to pass up too;
Image
Bismarck in Kiel. The battleship Bismarck made fast to Buoy A 12 in Kiel in late September 1940. This is one of the few color photos of the Bismarck.

Image
Also an exquisite shot of the HMS Hood, leading HMS REPULSE and HMS Nelson in the Med. The glory is almost too much to bear! [:D]

The real trouble with reality is that there’s no background music.

my draft concept for the box cover using the same recipe as the above screens, please note the box art isn't part of my brief so I put this up purely for those of you who are curious as to how I would approach the job, IMO the cover has to have some elements of the original to keep the recognition thing going, anyhow perhaps David and Marc will like it and I get the gig! fingers crossed

I am really liking 3, 5, and 8.  IMO 8 could really use sharpening of the face with a whiter flame in the location similar to what you have done with the jet.
