Whoever painted that painting (or drew that picture) should have paid more attention to detail.

What spit model is that supposed to be anyway?

Those were done for Air Warrior II and III as box art and screen background art (or, for loading missions, screensaver art).  Some folks thought those were screen caps from the beta versions of AW2 and AW3 when AW4W was the current version and got all gaga about how great the graphics were going to be.  Still, they were nice examples of computer graphics artwork for the time.

The spitfire has cannons.

I'm also suspecting that the paint job on the 109 is ..eh.. not entirely accurate. Apparently the artist wants to give us the impression that the pilot of the 109 is Galland. But I doubt even Galland was allowed to remove the swastika from the tail and replace it with a "G", and he seems to have too many kills too.

It's not a "G," it's a "C."  The equivalent here would be to have a little horsie or a castle on the tail.

If I am not mistaken, this art was part of Air Warrior and could not have the swastika on it. Keep in mind Germany frowns on this symbol and AW like AH had German players.

As was mentioned above, this artwork was done with AirWarrior. As such, It's either Spit V or Spit IV. And as Runny mentioned it's not Galland so much as it's "C-Land" Pilot #4852. This also explains the absense of a Swastika. It wasn't that GE needed to "Pay more Attention" but rather, that you needed a little more background on the work. Understandable, but it was a bad assumption.

Shhh, Runny. He's a dufe. I bet he can quote from memory every single variant of FW190 made but he can't figure out that the Spit MkIa  didn't have cannons. Swastika boys are like that. ;)

Back on AW when we ran the BOB scenario (my first BOB scenario)
I had the pleasure of killing Homer and Brat and they never saw me :)

Most of you hosers never heard of them, but they were wingmen and pretty good sticks.

That's cause they were in the same cockpit and preoccupied. :p
