    P-40E Brazilian Air Force circa 1943 (Academy 1/72)

    That's it guys! I finally finished this one. I had some headache with the decals mainly because they are old ( I have them for almost 15 years! :banghead: ) so I had some silvering that I could not fix, no matter what I've tried. The decal sheet was also missing decals for the...

    Zoom climb

    Considering that zoom climb was a performance characteristic that one would think would have been a very important aspect in the air to air combat environment of WWII, one would also think that this performance aspect would have been measured, charted, and recorded to death. Is there any such...

My attention was always focused on the odd size of the national insignia, but recently I noticed that this a/c appears to have three drop tanks.

    What if the eastern front closed down in spring 43?

    A couple of threads right now discuss the consequences of ww2 not having happened, at least at the historical time.
