Best Looking FW-190??

[plan_D]

The RAF have the HC.III Merlin and the Royal Navy have some sort of Merlin too.

Ah interesting I have found a helicopter that I did not know about. Cool thanks.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Wow really? They look pretty cool.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

It looks pretty similar to the new Sikorsky H-92 Superhawk.

Well this needs to get back on topic here.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Fw-190D-9.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

LOL when talking about looks that is about as far as it can go. People just saying which ones they like better.

 

[marseille jr]

Of course, no game matches reality.
But it gives you ideas and insights.
They perfectly match the stuff I read.
The Dora wasn't the savior of the late third reich and needed an expert pilot to score a few kills.

Saw a documentary about spezialeinheiten - fliegerasse im zweiten weltkrieg yesterday. Nice stuff.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

That I can agree with. It gives you somewhat of an idea.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

jsut as a note though, the RN Merlins have a large radar mounted under the nose, just as a note

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

More then likely they can be removed just like most radars on helicopters and reinstalled when needed.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well the one CC posted doesn't because it's an RAF example, the model in question being a HC.3 of 23 Squadron based at RAF Benson i believe, the Royal Navy use the anti-submarine HM Mk.1, and in this picture you can clearly see the large Blue Kestrel radar under the nose........

 

[cheddar cheese]

Also the Navy ones tend to be in Royal Navy colours

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yes that I know. I was making a general statement.

 

[Camarogenius]

I Tried to read all fourteen pages, but I ran out of patience at page six. Both models are gorgeous, but the Dora is the more beautiful, and much cooler as well.
Don't get me wrong, I'd give your right arm to fly either one, But if I had Cubic Dollars, and could buy whatever I wanted, I would have Dora in my Hangar.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

mmmm, well atleast you made an effort to read all pages, that'll get you in our good books, however picking the dora over the Anton will not

 

[lesofprimus]

Bullshit, dont listen to the Lanc, he's just pissed that sooooo very many of his beloved Lancasters went down in sheets of flame to the Dora....

The Dora is sexier than the Anton, period... Bomber fan opinions mean nothing except jealousy....

 

[Nonskimmer]

I'm an Anton fan too as well as a Lanc lover (the bomber ), so I guess you can count me in on the jealousy club.

And here all this time I thought I just had good taste.
Ah well.

 

[Gnomey]

I like the lanc aswell, although the 'A' looks meaner I still prefer the Dora, although I must say the TA-152 looks great

well the Anton was the bombewr killer without a doubt, while the Dora did what it could agasint RAF and US escort fighters. Dora still the sleeker craft of the two. and since we are chatting about the Dora I will put in a plug for the chap Eric larger and his Dora book jjust released, volume 1 through the Czech firm JaPo. I am hearing quite positive things about this. Being offered in the states for 61.00 US at Roll models wherever that is.......
am still trying to find out more on II./JG 301's events in the book as I am in touch with Mr. Larger even today. will let everyone know soon..........

ok more discussion on comparisons ♫
