I will add more in time. It's not always easy to find good profile pics of every variant, and that's what I always aim for. There has been a lot of re-touching, resizing, and generally 'fixing up' on the pics there because I'm kinda fussy about visuals and stuff.

I'm happy with any help at all though, and suggestions are always welcome, re: navigation, types to be added, general info etc. :)
 
Now you reminded me you're completely missing the post-war Czechoslovakian Avia "Mules" (Bf 109G/K with Jumo 211 He 111 engine) - they should be there also, since they played a very important role later in 1948 in Israeli Independence War.....
 
alright, who found the stats for the lancasters which i spent allot of time yesterday putting together ;) well whoever it was you've made some mistakes............

the Manchester has a length of 21.08m, and a weapons load of 5,443kg, and 7.7mm guns

the profile for the Mk.I you have is of the battle of Britain memorial flight lancaster before she was fitted with her dorsal turret, please replace it for annother, properly marked Mk.I.............

next the Mk.I was fitted with 8x 7.7mm macking guns, NOT 6x 7.62 mm........

secondly the Mk.I's weight is 29,484kg..........

moving on to the Mk.I Special, it's weight is 32,658kg, and she has a crew of 4, and again her 4 guns were 7.7mm. not 7.62, finally her 4 engines were rated at 1,620hp each................

the some really applies about the Mk.III, the guns being 7.7mm, her engines being up to 1,650hp..........

the Mk.III Special (dumbuster) as you call it, had a weight of 30,390kg, the same applies about the gun calibre, and the profile has totally wrong markings, please change it if you can, you may want to use the one below..........

the shackleton MR.2 has a weapons load of 6,804kg and 4x 12.7mm.........

and can you please bring back the Mk.II lancaster, her vitals being..........

i think he wanted it in metric but ok, i hate metric too, i'd much rather have imperial...........
 
it's far easier to estimate larger things (bigger than an inch) in imperial measurement, in my opinion atleast, much easier! plus if i'm working on the farm with my dad guiding him back in a tractor or something he'd look at me with disgust if i said "ok you can come back annother 60cm" no, i'd say "ok you've got annother 2 feet"
