    Luftwaffe Pilot Cannon Preference

    Hi, New member here. I am just curious about Luftwaffe Pilots preference/opinion of their autocannon. Did they prefer MG 151/20 more than MK 108? Thanks.

    TA152 and FW190-Series Aircraft Stabilisation and Engine Management Systems.......

    Forum contributor "MIflyer" recently posted a TA152 Pilots Manual (which see). This immediately piqued my interest and I eagerly scanned the pages using my mediocre grasp of technical German in search of details that would describe the Automatic Flight Stabilising system with which the TA152 was...

    Fw-190 Volume 4 - J. Richard Smith & Eddie J. Creek?

    I wonder if anyone knows the status of "Focke-Wulf Fw-190 the Anatomy and Colours Volume 4" by J. Richard Smith and Eddie J. Creek. This was a proposed final book in their wonderful Fw-190 series. Several years ago, there was an e-mail campaign to get the publisher, Ian Allen, to publish the...

    Optimize the FW190 for the Eastern Front

    Most Fw190s served against the Western Air Forces and new models were optimized for threats in the west that weighed down the fighters that ended up serving in the East. Heavier armor and armament for bomber killing affected all German fighters from 1942 on, but how could the Fw190 have been...

    Hi guys, I took some time off for a bit after the Ki-61 project but have decided to jump back in with a new build. My recent interest has been in FW190's and having picked up some of the Kagero top colors books and the most recent Valient wings FW190 book I decided that for my first 190 build...
  11. Focke Wulf Fw190 V1

    Does anyone have the e-mail address for HobbyBoss? I have tried and tried but cannot find one. With all the 'exotics' they produce I'd like to suggest a Focke Wulf Fw190 V1 which, I think, would sell well. The only 1/48 scale kit I have heard of is the unobtainable Legato kit. I have...

    What do people think about Germany's Operation Bodenplatte (bottom plate), and the aerial battle of Y-29? Could it have been a success? Here are some videos from the History Channel's show Dogfights: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=booCDyCFxFg View...
  15. Fw190 Ta152 Wing profile Question

    According to the NACA references, the accepted wing profiles for the FW190 Ta152 is the NACA 23015.3 (root) and the NACA 23009 (tip). I wonder if anyone can explain the '.3' suffix to the root profile - I understand this relates to the modified 5-digit designation, but the normal definition...
