What can you do?
I learnt to do this today:

can you do that behind the exhaust pipe to make it look like exhaust fumes in fsx?
what program that in? photobucket?

dunno.
It's called Tilt Shift. To create a fake model effect (although this didn't quite work. I'm yet to find a photo that I can properly do it on)

Done in The Gimp (freeware photo editor very similar to Photoshop)

Nice one K, it's such a cool effect aye? Love that model-railway kinda look. Check these tilt-shift aircraft pics out on flickr, there are thousands of examples:

EDIT: ps - if anyone is thinkin of trying their hand at a little painting or doing something arty-farty definately take a look at GIMP. I've always been put off photoshop coz the interface looked so complex, so many menus, terminology, and GIMP is just as complex really but the wonderfull thing is its FREE!!!

Go on, dive in, go thru the tutorials, read a few howtos, just like learning to fly there seems like a lot to learn at first but chip away at it one step at a time and before you know it your as happy as larry. Thanx for starting the thread Kelburn, wonder how many other gimp tips we'll get coming in...

Here and here are two pictures I found on the Jetphotos.net forum

So cool!

Edit: Pic's removed because they suck

Like this one the best

My other 2 aren't that great

I do like the last one. We should have a competition to see who can make their picture look most like a model!!!
