Title: P-51 Mustang bombing and dog fight (with SFX!) Post by: DominicM on June 05, 2018, 05:51:51 PM After filming some RC aircraft I've often thought that it would be fun to add some special effects (SFX)...so I had a go. Considering the small amount of time invested I think it came out OK. What do you think?

Tell me, isit true that many scenes in Battle of Britain were shot using RC Aircraft? Title: Re: P-51 Mustang bombing and dog fight (with SFX!)

The other need was for models in aerial sequences, and art director and model maker John Siddall was asked by the producer to create and head a team specifically for this because of his contacts in the modelling community. [Note 4] A test flight was arranged at Lasham Airfield in the UK and a model was flown down the runway close behind a large American estate car with a cameraman in the rear.[citation needed] This test proved successful, leading to many radio-controlled models being constructed in the band rehearsal room at Pinewood Studios. Over a period of two years, a total of 82 Spitfires, Hurricanes, Messerschmitts and He 111s were built.[21]Radio-controlled Heinkel He 111 models were flown to depict bombers being destroyed over the English Channel. When reviewing the footage of the first crash, the producers noticed a trailing-wire antenna; this was explained by an added cutaway in which the control wires of a Heinkel are seen shot loose.[22] Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Title: Re: P-51 Mustang bombing and dog fight (with SFX!)
