yup just meant they were pretty sharply in focus and if anyone didnt know it they might think they had been photoshopped on a normal jeep. we know better of course.
i have had a word.............for years i have been having words. if the rollover comes up he will sell it to me and fly it to duxford foc. just waiting for the numbers. :D

Here is another photo shopped pic I recently did. The photo is of another P-51B on the show circuit over here (US), called "Impatient Virgin". I removed the artwork & kills, Call letters, replaced them with Kidd Hofer's markings. QP*L, "Salem Representative", 4th FG. Plus I put a friend of mine in the cockpit.

Here's another photo I worked up. Before and after. Taken of a P-51B at an airshow this past summer. I changed the a/c markings and put one of our guys in the pic.

Another reworked photo. This one taken at Thunder Over Michigan Airshow. I converted the 2 seat P-51 back to original configuration, cleaned up the background, changed markings to Capt. Millikan, "Missouri Mauler", 4th FG, added two of the guys in the lower left, and changed to Black & white.

Here's another one I worked up about a month ago.

The first photo is as the photo was taken at Willow Run, Michigan, "Thunder Over Michigan" Airshow.

Second photo is of Scarecrow, taken in his backyard in Massachussetts, with a bunch of us fooling around. Here he is frisking a downed Hun.

I took the original shot, erased the guy in the cockpit, took the existing markings off, changed the OD color by removing yellow from it, and reversing the photo. Then I drew the Squadron codes on it, added the noseart of "The Mighty Mite", a 4th FG kite. The art was originally painted by Sgt Allen, and he has repainted his art, so I used a copy of that and put it on the kite, along with the hole on the side of the cockpit. Then I used a gunsight from another photo I had taken, and put it in the cockpit. Then I put Scarecrow in the cockpit from the 'Frisking' photo. Adjusting color as necessary.

Lastly, the final product of the photoshopped image.

This is an old photo that I took in 1989 of our group by one of the B-17's at Geneseo, NY airshow. I took the noseart from an original color photo and put it on this B-17. That's all I did on this photo.

Here are two photos that I had taken this past weekend at "Thunder Over Michigan" airshow, at Willow Run Airfield where the Ford built B-24's were made. I took 2 of my photos of Jack Roush's, P-51B "Old Crow" 357th FG, and changed the markings to 4th FG , and had taken out non period things & people from the backround, added trees.

Top photo, the P-51B is now in Duane Beeson's markings of QP-B, "Bee".
second photo, th P-51B is in the markings of Nick Megura's markings of QP-N "Ill Wind?"

Both are now 334 Sqdn, 4 FG.

Here are a couple photos I worked up from the "Thunder Over Michigan" Airshow recently. The first is a Life Magazine cover that I did, of Dan in front of a P-51D that is named "February" in 15 AF markings. I changed the markings to Lt. Marvin Arthur's "Blondie" , QP*U, 334 Sqdn, 4FG, and then turned it B&W and put the Life Magazine look on it.
The second is a photo that I changed to Capt. Don Gentile's "Shangri-La" VF*T, 336 Sqdn, 4 FG. You can see what all I did when you compare it to the third photo, which is the original photo that I used. And I put a friend in the cockpit.
