Flakvierling 38 (20mm) - they were deployed in large numbers at strategic locations as well as being fixed to mobile mounts, like the "Wirbelwind", which was a converted Pzkfw IV chassis.And I thought the ZSU23 was a badass looking weapon! Do you know what caliber these are? Looks deadly, but where are the armored shields these kinds of weapons usually have? A couple of B25Js in a scissors attack would wipe these guys out.
The Emil was the most "badass looking" of the 109 series. It just looks the part. When most folks hear the word Messerschmitt, the Emil is the image that comes to mind.After all these years I finally find out that was an actual me-109 type. I thought they just came up with something "Messerschmidtish".
I built it so long ago. My aircraft spotting skills were from "studying" comic book illustrations back then. Now I have to review ME (BF)-109 variants...after studying up on 30-40marks of Spitfires. More homework.
Never mind the spats, how about those 37s? Now THAT'S badass!
Talk about memories... During Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom all of our tankers used oil company call signs. For security reason of course. Gulf, Texaco, Chevron, Phillips, Union 76, Sunoco and etc..."Texaco nine seven, Hooker two six is precontact."
"Hooker two six cleared to contact position. You're scheduled eight thousand pounds this tank, will that do it?"
"Affirm, Texaco, good flow."
Hey, isn't that the infamous "Bazookahopper"?
Stuka with those twin cannons.1) Stuka
2) Sturmovik
3) Sundry others

I had that Emil, too! And the yellow Zero and the OD P40E, and the black (or almost black) FW190. Aurora was rugged as hell, but poorly detailed, and Lindbergh was fairly well detailed, but kind of flimsy. I would rate Lindbergh ahead by a nose, if handled carefully. I liked Monogram if I couldn't afford Revell, which was most of the time.
What a blast!
