    Macchi C 202 markings

    Thanx Rudolph This is one of the pictures I also have. It is one of two taken at the same moment. In the other one you can see the spinner thing. But if you then take a look at the pic I posted first, there the numbering has a white outline. In your picture it is only a white shadow...

    Macchi C 202 markings

    Hi I am currently building a 1/9 scale Macchi C.202 Folgore. When the building is done, I want to paint it in the colors of a plane of the 369 squadriglia; 22° gruppo; 53° stormo. But I am a bit confused about the color markings. First of all, the numbers on the fuselage. On the profile...

    p-80 V Me 262

    Goeie morgent Kris Owkay on the statement, I think I misunderstood you. No idea if the balast had to go on the back or the front in the Horten. All flying wings I've seen so far, in modelling, needed balast in the nose, also the Horten types. I may have been wrong, thinking it was the same...

    Raid on Berlin Museum

    In a book I have, there are 1 or 2 pictures of the museum before it got bombed. I'll see if I can find them back. If I remember correct you can see a dfs habicht, a heinkel 112 and a junkers 52 on it, between a lot of other planes. Tom

    p-80 V Me 262

    I didn't say the 229 would have been an effective fighter aircraft! I only sayed it was allmost in production. My source is the book from Reimar Horten The RLM's E-stelle's order to build 40 pre production aircraft is dated 13 october '44, 2 months before the maiden of the V2 (indeed, my...

    p-80 V Me 262

    @ udet I don't know what software you are using and what format the movie is, but divx has a nice conversion program. It converts a lot of movie files to the divx format. You can download a free 15 day trail here Download DivX for Windows

    p-80 V Me 262

    I completely disagree with what you say on the Horton IX/gotha 229. The first prototype did 4 very satisfying test flights, before it crash landed due to an engine failure. The plane was allmost completely build from wood and welded steel tubes, not so advanced huh. The plane flew well, so the...

    p-80 V Me 262

    I think the p-80 had a little preformance advantage over the 262. The 2 engines of the 262 must have affected the roll rate and turn radius etc. The mk 108 was also pretty slow firing, and I think this is pretty crucial in a dog fight were planes go from one side to another in a split second...

    German mystery fighter?

    The link thing doesn't work, but no problem, then I'll register. yeah, the db 604 is possible. I looked at some prototype drawings of other planes, and proposals with jumo 222, 223 and 224 engines, and the argus 413 had a similar exhaust lay out, so these are also possible. A heinkel 280...
