Is it still around? Will it make another appearance? Can't wait to see ..........

My oldest kit, from 1953 ......

Sorry to bug again, but can you pls double-check the BuNo 4659? Again, that BuNo does not appear anywhere in my midway info. VS-5 as I have it is attached. BuNos appear complete, a/c codes not. If 4659 is correct, can you pls tell me where that comes from? Thanks

I too would be interested in the source for this. My information has Kleiss in (S-) 7 or (V-S-) 7, but BuNo 3232 (see attached). In the info I have BuNo 4659 is not listed as being on any of the carriers at Midway. TIA

The Squadron-Signal book I have says the A-1 and A-5 were BOTH used in the Battle of Britain. As for A-4 availability in the Mediterranean, that is unclear. Production is said to have started early in 1941 with first MAJOR combat use in Barbarossa in June.

Just picked up on your thread, and if you want ant more info, I checked the Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries at ww2.dk and found several references to L1+EN Ju-88A-5's, none for A-10s but there was one for an A-4 - TRESEMER, Johannes. (DOB: 27.05.17). (DKG). 03.07.42 Lt., 5./LG 1 KIA - Ju 88...

👍

It certainly looks like the 2 darker colours on the spinner are the same, but what makes you say blue-white-blue? Possibly red-white-blue? Cheers

Thanks!

Thank you!

Hi mate. Any chance I could get a copy of them too? Thanks

The cleanup trio was Sakai, Ota/Ohta and Nishizawa. From another source I have Nishizawa flying V-171, so I think Sasai as V-171 is wrong. I think the photos are confirmation .... BTW I have Sasai as V-138 and V-109

Thanks Steph. Ditto to Rochie's comment - looking forward to seeing more of these builds.

As a matter of interest, what markings do you have in mind for Ota's aircraft? Thanks
