Good job I wasnt exercising original thinking at the time, I might just have put P-26 Then you would have crapped, puked, screamed and had a heart attack

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yes that would have been wrong.

 

[paranalvo]

in what theater of operations they were used?
Does anyone have their color profiles?
It´s kind of urgent!

 

[evangilder]

thank you, but the Japanese airplanes aren't very famous and the sites copy the articles of each other it's like the modeling shows hundreds of allied and German planes and a handful of Japanese and Italian airplanes

It is extremely annoying about the lack iof interest and nations that played perhaps a lesser part in the war, as they often have many interesting stories and facts.

I agree on this. On LJ I got into a discussion about Japanese aircraft in modern avaition art (hey its Live Journal, go figure) and we could not find any source material on line.

even books are rare and expensive, there is a site of ebooks with 241 books, and gess, only 6 are about jap planes!!!!
the shiden that I am going to present in the show is from the 343 kokutai but I can't find any references were it was posted, I have to gess between formosa, Luzon and japan.

Ive come across a couple of books about the Italians which sound really good....barring the £150+ price.

 

[paranalvo]

British pounds or lira's? Try www.betah.co.il, some of the books are in chezc or poul, but the images are great and the color profiles helps with the black and white fotos

 

[cheddar cheese]

Awesome! Found some things but when I tried to download It would let me, must have some settings on my computer preventing me.

 

[paranalvo]

if you register on the forum it will let you download 15 books/24h

 

[cheddar cheese]

Still not working

 

[paranalvo]

it must be your security defenitions

 

[CurzonDax]

I have also seen some wonderful publications, in Cyrillic!

Isn't it wonderful! the russians with their beautiful winters have lots of time for reading and modeling so they have a industry of scale planes and armours in expansion. Here in western europe we have the same old airplanes (spits and messers) it's an horror
