Despite the fact that Il2 was named "black death" for german troop I can´t find good pics of Sturmoviks in overall black scheme. In the web there are some fuzzy pics that make me suspect that the plane is painted in black, but nothing clear. Anyone has pics of black Sturmoviks?. Thanks in...
Finally finished a kit that I started for a group build two years ago. Here is one pic. If you care to see the build, I posted more pics of the completed kit in the build thread here: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/-18-heavy-hitters-ii/1-48-sbd-5-dauntless-heavy-hitters-ii-gb-37512-5.html#top

In this thread, I hope to share some of the sights and experiences of the tours in my recently acquired 'Tin Tent', or camper-van/motorhome, as I travel around the UK, and, hopefully, parts of Europe, at some stage in the future. Many of these 'excursions' will, of course, be to air...

I said I'd get some pics of the single and 2-stage Merlins that are sitting on stands at the museum, and here they are. The V-1650-7 is going in one our P-51Ds and the Merlin 224 will go back into the Ha.1112 when the restoration is completed. The 224 will have to be looked at since it...

Hi Guys,

Thought I'd post a few intersting pics from times semi-recently past:
1) Here is the first startup of a newly-restored P-39 in 2004:
2) Here is first taxi:
3) Here is the first time we pulled the Bell YP-59A out for public view. Note the guys are wearing Bolo hats and we fitted the...
Saw this on the BBC website and although not explicitly WWII related, I thought it interesting enough to share. Some fantastic pics. My personal favourite is the Shacklebomber in the Sahara.
