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.
 
 

I rather like the splash screens myself... and now that I see the box cover again I have to say I can see what marcus is talking about...

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.

Then you might find this news interesting:

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]

By the looks of things no chance of pilot survival bailing out with the 1st german plane. Jets above and below!!??

Ejection seats were a reality by 1943ish

This little beauty is too glorious to pass up too;

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.


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]

Hi All,
version 4 of the splash screens over the next set of posts, starting with screen #1 not much change other than the correcting of Aust coastline

screen #2 adjusted to give the ship more strength

screen #3 same fix as #1 to Aust coast

screen #4 a new one to replace one you haven't seen which Steve and I didn't feel worked

screen #5 the aircraft strengthened against the map

screen #6 same coastline fix as #1

screen #7 new one to give Steve some more choices
 

My grandmothers second husband seved on the Hood for 20 years. retired in 1938 lucky for him! I allso worked with a chap who was a crew man on the prince of wales when it was sunk!

screen #8 same, more choice for Steve

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.
