On a Tuskegee bomber excort mission it was reported that a Black Mustang flew up to the bomber group as shown in the below painting.

They showed a German p-51D on History channal's DOGFIGHTS sneeking up on the bombers.

Did they shot it down?

 

[Matt308]

Perhaps not captured, but certainly of interest...

Seversky P-35s dual cockpit in Japanese livery.

 

[vikingBerserker]

WOW, an entire squad.

 

[Matt308]

Yeah, I believe they were actually purchased prior to the war. But I await other experts.

 

[GrauGeist]

Matt, if I remember right, those two-seaters were the Seversky 2PA-B3 and 20 of them were sold to the IJN in the late 30's and re-designated by the IJN as the A8V-1.

The Japanese didn't seem to be too impressed with them, not sure whatever happened to them, perhaps someone out there has better info on thier service record.

I saw this one and hadn't seen anyone post it yet.

HE-177 A-5 taken by the RAF. An aircraft with the Geschwaderkennung code of F8 + AP from 6./KG 40 was captured by the Allies on September 1944 at Toulouse-Blagnac airfield. Transferred to the UK and was repainted with British roundels and serialled TS439.

BTW. these are NOT my images. I found them on the web. Wikii the HE-117.

I believe they were used briefly in operations over China. Here's some additional info via Straggler's blog:

Excuse me if i open an old thread, but it's very interesting !

 

[Gnomey]

Not a problem kruaxi, it is indeed an interesting thread that is always looking for new content.

 

[Wayne Little]

Yeah, post something!

 

[fubar57]

here are a few athat I scanned from Spitfire The Canadians

Any idea what flavor of blue the 109 is? Oddball schemes drives me crazy.

 

[Ratsel]

its not blue.. its RLM 76. and its not a night fighter, its a high altitude intercepter.

Many thanks Ratsel and have really enjoyed your "Yellow 13" build. The Monogram 1/48 109, is it a G-10?


Geo

 

[Ratsel]

Your very welcome. Yes my model is a G-10. And for you:

"Weisse 44" sister. Bf 109G-10 W.Nr.130 396, "Weisse 43", Fassberg, May 1945

 

[fubar57]

Thank you. Just noticed the tail wheel seems longer on "43". Illusion or is there a reason?


Geo

 

[Ratsel]

They both have the 20cm extension on the tailwheel.

 

[fubar57]

Again thank you. Is that in the Monogram kit or will i have to modify the strut?
