Wow an inline on a japanese fighter... The mostly went with radials in WWII service craft. Except for the Ki-61 Hien (based on the He 100) with the DB-601 copy.


Now what's wrong with these first 2 pictures and not with the last:

Pic 1: No wing guns on the Vampire

Pic 2: Looks o.k. for me

Pic 3: Fritz-X Missiles on the Vampire? Bought clandestinely from some german "Überläufer"?
 
The third pic has the correct nose-cannons.

If you look closely on the 2nd one you'll see the wing-cannons firing. Or are those just tips of 4 bombs/rockets poking-out, that would make more sense. Especially since it would just be the box art that's wrong.
 
In pict 2 the are probably bomb-tips, since that level was a bombing mission iirc.

And those aren't Fritz-X's I'm not sure what they are though, but the Fritz-X looks much different...
 
He had it coming And now that I'm back, my best wishes for 2008 to all of you. May we always find a strange picture to post it here.
 
Thought I would try and answer in Dutch.

From the same book, was it ever built Marcel?

Very good Graeme, only if you would have typed it in dutch I would have been more impressed . For your question, the T.9 it was built, but never developed ifurther than prototype stage, due to the German invasion in 1940. The F.XXIV never came further than the drawingboard.
