The first one the best but that second one isn't bad either. Has a good contrast and sheen. I like it. The others ... a little saw and noise too soft. Good comp all. The grain of the first seems to work the best I think.

the first one is great, the second has potential if the spit wasnt using the german markings :oops: :oops:

There are stories of the Germans testing the Daimler engine installed into a captured spitfire, now that could be an interesting combo.

Well, the plane has never been through combat, or even flown twice, they should look like they were just painted. Shouldn't it?

Photographically, the first shot is best, as aerial film footage or objects at speed naturally looked a little grainy for the era. The remaining static shots are too grainy, IMO. Still cameras of the day were quite good in B&W, with most out of focus shots were due to photographer error more than the equipment or film.

So, there's no reason why they should appear so grainy. Just a slight "unsharpen" in photoshop and adjustment to contrast might yield a better effect. HTH.

That's amazing! :lol: I'd like to find out more about this 'Messerspit.' I've never seen a pic of it before.

Forgot to say I like the second picture best.
