I don't think I posted these before...?
The Heinkel He 177 was a 4-engined heavy bomber which entered service with the Luftwaffe in 1942. It had an interesting layout of double-engines driving a single propellor in each wing ‘pod’ which led to serious complications in the early development...
I think I had this in the wrong section...Did the Luftwaffe include ground kills as part of a pilot's score? I thought this was only an Eighth Air Force thing. I found a photo of Walter Oesaus's 109E, Werknr.1559 that show 39 kill markings on the rudder, 14 pointing downwards. The caption says...

How would the RAF have faired if they had gone for a daylight strategic bombing campaign from 1941 on? Let's say the choice to go for a daylight campaign means they adopt the long range Spitfire variant for service as a escort. In 1941-42 the Luftwaffe was only fielding two Wings of fighters...

As the famous LEMB is now closed, some members needed the fill the void. And so the Luftwaffe Research Group was born. It enrolled some very knowledgeable former posters to investigate, answer, explain anything Luftwaffe related during 1933-1945.

I finally got this one done: My 190 D-9 painting. I had a lot of help getting some of the details correct thanks to the aviation art groups on Facebook, but it's not too late to make revisions and I know some of you could probably point out a thing or two. I welcome that!
Thanks to my...

Hi Chaps
Just thought I'd draw the attention of Luftwaffe Modellers to a new self published book by a member of the LEMB forum Sinisa Sestanovic.
Filled with superb highly accurate artwork and 20 years of study will ensure that modellers now have a definative reference work for their models.
I'm not a new artist, but I'm new to the aviation art scene. These are a few of my limited edition releases, each series of between 15 and 50 have been autographed by noteworthy veterans or aces.
I specialize in what hasn't already been done - especially Japanese WW2 subjects.
