    1 7 April 1943, USN USMC claims - Guadalcanal, Russells

    Hello, I have been recently interested in I-Go Operation. I would like to know exact list of USN and USMC pilots' claims during it's early stage (1 7 Apr 1943), as in my sources are different data. Do you have such info? Regards

    Worst aircraft of WW2?

    That was one of Reggiane planes (Re.2005 I believe), not Macchi's.

    A co, uważacie że to Ruscy z Tuskiem go uwalili? Bo mnie śmieszy taka opcja. Owszem, kontrolerom należy się czapa, ale poza tym winy Ruskich nie widzę.

    Could you have designed a better Warbird?

    I made some changes in Me 155E: And I made a fighter-bomber/recce/night fighter a/c for the Axis: It's powered by 2 DB603's, radiator air intake is like in Mosquito (in the wing): Armament is 6xMG 151/20s and 4 SC500 bombs. Canopy is based on He 219: Tail section and...

    Could you have designed a better Warbird?

    I made somewhat similar project about two years ago, but I have taken Bf 109G-14 as basic structure. Here you go: Powered by DB 605ASM, armed with 1 MK108 and two or four MG151/20s, it has normal undercarriage (assembled inwards like Fw 190's, unlike Spitfire's or original 109's) and canopy...

    Could you have designed a better Warbird?

    You're probably right. Sorry for my English. In Polish turbosupercharger is in fact "turbosprezarka" but I thought that "sprezarka" is simply charger. BTW I have another idea of never-were aircraft - medium bomber for RAF, a slightly bigger Canberra with 2 Centauruses. Regards

    Could you have designed a better Warbird?

    Yes, but servicing liquid-cooled engines in jungle was a serious problem for Japanese. Allied mechanics were accustomed for them and Japanese were not. That's why Japanese preferred radial, air-cooled engines.

    Could you have designed a better Warbird?

    Here it is, some changes made: powerplant is MK9D, undercarriage is from A7M3-J, tailwheel from Ki-84, behind tailwheel is tailhook for carrier landings, wings are combined N1K2-J's and Ki-100's and folded like F6F's ones (Japanese had one F6F so they could copy it). Length is 11,78 m...

    Could you have designed a better Warbird?

    Well, I'm thinking now about changing the engine to NK11 or MK10 (about 2,500 hp each one). And about A7M3-J. Regards

    Could you have designed a better Warbird?

    Hi guys, an idea came to me today to make a fighter for the Japanese which would combine best abilities of such aircraft like Ki-61/Ki-100, Ki-84, J2M and N1K2-J. Main fuselage of three sections like Ki-84 in order to simplify production process. I want to adopt engine cowling from Raiden for...

    Hi! That's my first model so be forgiving please. Painted with brush. I have two problems with it: decals are shining and model is very dusty, as you can see. I don't know how to deal with dust because I'm afraid about decals. Regards, Chris
