thanks. good to know that the drawing is just clearly wrong and I‘m not going crazy hahaha at first I thought it was maybe because the pilot is seated a bit higher then the co pilot but thankfully its just an error cause that would‘ve diminished the mossies beauty a bit in my eyes

Hello, So I have a kinda weird question for today. yesterday I was browsing the internet for good linedrawings on the FB Mossie especially from the front and the only one I found pretty much was one from airpages.ru: Now looking at this drawing something looks off. To me it looks as if the...

Absolutley great! Thanks! it can also be quite clearly seen that the cockpit was put back 40cm in paintings from the yefim gordon books: Yak-9u Yak-3 I think the difference alone with the cockpit position and the single piece windscreen on the 3 is quite substential optically speaking...

Hello, I was just reading up on the Yak-9 on the loo so I read through the Wikipedia Article of the Yak-9 and I noticed an interessting line about the Yak-9U: I'm pretty sure the Yak-3 and the Yak-9 look quite different form another but this quote (without a cited source ofc) made me doubt my...

Thank you all for that quick answer! Very interesting

thx but what do those parts of the engine do? Is there a special reason why they stick out so much?

Hello! I just noticed that all the Griffon engined Spitfires have those bumps on the engine cowling. Can someone tell me what they are and what use they serve? Since I've seen them exclusively on Griffon engined Spitfires and not a single Merlin engined one, I guessed it has something to do...

I don't judge the plane at all. It's just that in most things that you read online it says "the D-9 is considered to be the best German fighter of the war" and so i thought this was true. but after reading the wright airfield report i became sceptical of it's performance and so i wondered if it...

Awesome thank ya'll for the info!

Awesome thank you! Yeah that would be pretty amazing so please post it if you got the time =D More info is always better. Thx

Thank you! I did not notice it at first too. But I really love the mossie and when i saw her model in war thunder there was something about it that put me off but i never got around what it was but i was sure it was something about her cockpit. Turns out all the frames are on the outside of the...

Hi guys. I've seen on various models that the mossie has two set's of frames one is on the interiour of the cockpit and one is on the canopy http://web.ipmsusa3.org/sites/default/files/reviews/tamiya-s-de-havilland-mosquito-fb-mk-vi-132-build-part-2/rgbenson_tamiya_mossie_24.jpg de havilland...

Very cool. So it seemed that the pilots at first disliked it but then seemed to love it. Interessting. But good to see that the wright report is wrong. It really baffled and shocked me the first time i read it. Especially because it is overall very negative. I don't quite get this why did they...

Ok guys could we maybe stop with this ot stuff? My question still stands

does anyone have a recommendation for a good BF-109 book? Like a general Bf-109 "lexikon" style book. The only book about here that i have is the Messerschmitt Bf 109 F, G, and K Series: An Illustrated Study by Jochen Prien which still has outdated stuff in it like that the G-10 was a "chimera"...
