Greets all, Looking for some help with finding good reference works for the Rafale and Mirage 2000 in their modern form... thoughts? I have the rather excellent Eagle Aviation 'Rafale F3R' work (that focuses on the Greek F3R's with a bit of French stuff in there), and the Duke Hawkins Mirage...

Awww man, that sucks - I know I haven't been here much for a while (years looking after my dad as he battled cancer and passed, now that is all over, mum is up for ANOTHER cancer op herself), but that sucks to log in an see we've lost Erich. He was always a gent and willing to help me or...

Progress is slow.... :(

And Merry Christmas back at you :) Mate, after the last 18-24 months of Work, Health, and the CHAOS of COVID, I have effectively become a collector! hahaha That said, im now off for about 8 weeks, so once I finish fixing the front patio, I have a Garage I'm being 'allowed' to turn into a new...

Lucky13 - yes?

The re-written Volume 1 should not be far away either, along with a re-written Volume 2 in 2021, and Volume 3 in 2022...

Yup, the D-13 is missing the mechanical 'computer' that controlled the engine and connected it to the throttle. It was fairly advanced in 1945, and thus is beleived to have taken, disassembled and studied after the war by the US. If I understand correctly, even the idle circuit on the Champlin...

Whats a G-10/AS? There is G-5/AS, G-6/AS, G-6/AS/N, G-14/AS, etc... But a G-10 was just a G-10 as they all had the big AS engine. And they weren't just an Erla build; they were built at Regensberg and WNF Diana. From what I can tell, G-10/AS is just 'typo' sort of designation, following the...

The Australian entrant is the BATS: https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/wingman2.jpg

The Ta's rarely got really high due to Pressurisation issues (ie: canopy seals didnt seal), and because the B-29 threat simply did not eventuate. A good number of Ta 152H's appear to have been fitted with the standard Fw190 blown canopy, as was the short winged Ta152E and BMW powered short...

It's Hobbyboss - and like Trumpter, what do people expect? Yeah they occasionally knock one out of the park - like their A-6 - and sometimes make some OK kits, like the F-111 family, (or in the case of Trumpter, the F-106A/B), but then there is the F-14's, A-7's, Tornado F.3, Fw 190D's, YF-23...

Woah, cool! Must download those later on... They're awesome! Now a slightly selfish question; are there any threads like this on the He 219A, Fw 190D, and Bf 109G; all of which were found in Czech territory in great numbers, late in the war? D

And no Wayne, I've not forgotten about your kill markings... There's a list I am juggling ATM though ;) D
