As with any of my composites, I start with a background picture that will compliment the scenario. When at all possible, I try to use pictures that I have taken, but stock images will work as well.
Next, I ran NIK;s Colro Efex Pro and gave it a bleach bypass to make it look a little edgy. I like how this brings out the details in the mountains and clouds.
Step three was to add the aircraft relevant to the time period. In this case, Vietnam. I added the A4-Skyhawk which was shot an airshow recently. I used fre transform to position the attack angle how I wanted it.
Need to have an advesary, and this Mig-17, shot at the same airhsow, fit the bill. Same technique as above, using free transform to position the Mig.
Final step was to run bleach bypass on the A4-Skyhawk to match the aircrafts look with the rest of the composite. There youhave it! A quick easy dogfight over Vitenam's countryside.
