Looks pretty sweet. Love the mustangs. Would look cool if you did some sort of paintover in PS, or maybe even just make it black and white.

Thanks TracR! This is my first post on CGS. The motion blur effect looks a lot better when printed on a large canvas (intended target). Somehow it doesn't work so well on screen.

Never though of doing it in B&W. I'll have to try that.

Cheers!

Nice action image well done ! It tells the story very well.

Your P51's look pretty good with nice prop blur and reflections in the water. The planes would likely had olive drab painted on top rather than medium green you've shown but that is a minor historical accuracy issue.

I'm not to keen on the stance of the german soldier....looks a little unnatural.

Thanks Kev! Do you happen to have some accurate RGB values for standard olive drab (as close as possible)?

I do. For Olive drab try 96,93,68. I think this is pretty close to slightly weathered olive drab.

Thanks! I'm sure to need that in the future.

Cheers.
