Thank you very much! I appreciate it. I found the same thing. I believe the aircraft he flew in the late 43 and early 44 is a WNF produced 44---- series as well. Just like Clade's plane probably... Any information on maintenance instructions for the sand separator on the upper hood by any...

So, OK. I think it is very probable these both aircraft was built at a similar time and within the same werknummer bloc at WNF. And three questions I have are: 1. What is the W.nr. bloc?

Excellent!

Thank you Geo. Hopefully I will start soon. 🙂

Very nice! Great built!

Looks really good!

I love the sweater vest and the shorts. :D

Looking good!

Thank you for all that research @Wulger! Yes, I have seen all these photos as well. And I read lots of documentation but yellow cowling was never mentioned. It just complicates the depiction of this aircraft. I did see some models like that though. I have read speculations about RLM 02 on the...
