we covered his crate extensively years ago on Sturmgruppen 1944 web-site no longer on the net, please visit via google: Falkeeins blog and check on the right side links for Walter Dahl.

[Erich]

remember that there were a couple of Blue 13's in Stab JG 300 flown by W. Dahl.

Looking forward to seeing the build Stephane.

Should be good!

 

[Erich]

remember the B-17 within the gunsight motif is only worn on the left side of the engine cowling, the 13 is outlined in white

Hello Erich,

I hesitate regarding the gunsight motif and the white outlined for my project... On the picture (in german language) from the summer 1944, it says there isn't no white outlined and there isn't any reference regarding the gunsight motif...

There are well known photos or illustrations regarding another Dahl aircraft flown late in 1944 with the gunsight and blue 13 with white outlined

I don't know what to think...

 

[Wayne Little]

Good choice, look forward to seeing this one progress....

 

[Nxthanos]

Germany had so many aces, imagine if we did models of them all!

 

[Erich]

I think you better get a copy of J-Y. Lorants JG 300 volumes

the blue 13 had a white outline as shown in your foto, I said earlier that Dahl flew a couple different A-8's.

Good choice Stephane and a nice kit to build it with.

 

[le_steph40]

Hello,

Here is the cockpit almost finished. I just added the throttle and changed instrument panel (Tamiya)

To be continued...
Cheers
Steph
