Hopefully the 1200 that were sent to Russia from the UK during WWII didn't upset you too much :)

 

But seriously.. Really...? ugly? Yeah the elliptical wing is / was the main aesthetic - but she still has nice curving lines over the fuselage as well - But it's you're opinion, and that's fine. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

 

S :)

 

EDIT - I also have never heard anyone (ever) describe the Spit as ugly before? ...is the only reason for posting - but as said above, it's all subjective.

For me Spit is also meh at best as far as easthetics go. I guess it may be a common view among those who, like me, don't fancy vintage curves in general

Hi Bucic,

 

I'm not a big fan of kitsch design either - Some Harleys are nice, but... I'm with you.

 

As you'll know I'm sure, the Supermarine Spitfire was developed from a 'stable' where initially, air speed record breaking was their only goal - and then further basic design development for the needs of the time. I think it's safe to say - the Spit's shape is purely a product of function, alone.

 

However, you are more than welcome to not like it :) I don't agree but, I will defend you're right not to like it... etc..:thumbup:

 

It just surprised me to here someone describe it as ugly that's all.

 

Anyway someone should post a screen-shot before this gets moved to chit chat - I would but not on main machine.

EDIT: + screen shot, chased back to base, landing alongside the runway, minus one horizontal stab, no gear, no flaps and plenty of ventilation holes ( blew the canopy before touching down) :)

Took her high.

 

Shame the altimeter stopped at 9000m, but judging how she started choking and maintaning altitude was getting extremely hard, it was quite high.

There were, but it stopped a while after the altimeter gave up.

Arthuro12, very nice pics Sir. How do you get the blurred background? Photoshop?

 

S!Blade<><

 

Thanks!

 

Yes it's Photoshop, I'm cheating hehe..

 

I take the screenshot with the subject against a clean background such as the ocean or sky and extract it using the pen tool.

 

After that I go Google Images hunting and merge together some areal photos or horizon shots.

Apply some lens-, motion- or radial blur and voilah!

 

The final thing left is lighting and fixing up some graphics glitches (bad AA, unwanted reflections or choppy polygons on round surfaces).

If you have some basic understanding of Photoshop techniques you can do these within a hour!

 

Turning a screenshot like this:

-The Spitfire is a screenshot from 71st_dB in IL2: Cliffs of Dover which I used some time ago in a signature for him.

Inspired after the famous Blue 12 from JG6, this one is fictional but made with realism in mind.

Primairy colour themes are RLM 74/75/76/81/82.
