Description
Recently I've been watching some WW2 "authentic footage" series on Netflix and Curosity Stream, and I got inpired for some renders on that theme, actually regressing to when I was a kid and loved making plastic model kits, mainly WW2 planes :)
So, here some Me-262 jetfighters are in for an attack on a group of B-17 bombers bound for some German targets. The crew on the bombers have been taken completely by surprise, both by the high speed of the fighters and the fact that they have come in with the sun in back.
-------------------------------------------
Vue 2015 Infinite render, with finishing touches in PS.
B-17 model from DAZ, Me-262 from Renderosity.
The ground terain is Vue terrain work based on screendumps from Google Maps (Northern France).
(I've made another version with a little gunfire, but...this is mainly to show some great planes in action. I may upload the other one as well, almost identical :) ).
- Also, often when you see this type of renders, the planes are duplicates, with identical markings etc. I really hate that :) In here, they are all different (texture work in PS etc.).

I like the idea of google maps screendumps, excellent render

You certainly did a wonderful job of it. I can remember a documentary on this very theme, with a shocked American voice barking: "What the hell was that?"

Way cool infinite render.

I like the ground, the clouds and the grouping of bombers but somehow the angle of the German fighters look wrong to my eye. For one, I think they would be flying in formation when this close to an enemy, and they seem to be coming in at different angles. Also, the angle at which they are placed are undramatic. They just look 'tacked on', rather than swooping in at an angle that promotes excitement and tension. Maybe if our POV had been on the same line as the German fighters, that would have been better on the eye,
