Yep, got the shade of blue right, unlike most who are 1/2 shade too light, and the creative use of %20 really won me over.

The DVD is nicely done and well worth the price. (Hope to purchase more of their products eventually.)

What's really interesting is that after all these years, these two very close in conparison aircraft can fly together and seem so comfortable together. I wonder, without trying to research it, how many Me109's did Spitfires down and how many Spitfires did me109's down? ....

That's a very good question Hellcat.
I'd like to know that myself. I'm sure the answer is out there, but it would most likely take a lot of digging.
Then perhaps, someone's already thought of this question (which is most likely the case); maybe we can find it somewhere online, or maybe someone is already privy to that stat.
Cheers,

Nice... I am guessing that must be the late , great Hannas flying together.

Don't know about the whole war, but found a couple of sites that show figures for the Battle of Britain. One thing I noticed was the percentage of pilots killed in the British machines is comparitively higher. I can only attribute this to the cannon armament in the Me-109 packing a bigger punch, but I may be wrong. Sobering figures.
