Czesc Wurger, Pozdrowiena na wzajem. Jake modele lubisz budowac? I plan on staying around for a long while. Krzysztof

Hi Chris !!!

The WW1 and WW2 plastic fighter planes models in 1:72 scale mostly.But also paper models in 1:33 scale.I'm interested in ships,tanks and other military equipment too.Because of my eyesight that has worsened recently I consider assembling models in a bigger scale.

BTW There is a multilingual corner in this forum.If you would like to practise the Polish language with V2,me and other Poles here, we could meet there.

Regards,
Wojtek

Wurger, This is the P-47 I built, throttle, rudder, flaps, ailerons, elevator, gear retraction, drop tanks(wings), drop tank belly. Autographed by "Gabby Gabreski". I sent him pictures of the model and some material for him to sign which I applied to both sides of the vertical stabilizer. I fly a real airplane but have not flown this one, kind of funny. I have to work with a trainer aircraft first, I would hate to crash this one. Just did some taxi runs at the local airport by the hangar. Some day. Kturego mjescowosci w Polsce pochodzisz?

Thanks guys. Wildcat, if you like P-40's I have a shoot coming up to do the Alleutian Tiger that won Grand Champion at Oshkosh. Should be fantastic as their restoration was fabulous.

Lucky you! I know the P-40 your talking about, damn fine looking bird8)

Aero...
Excellent pix...well done.The view from the cockpits are fine...better than hangar walls !The cockpits are nicely lit inside as well.
Very impressed with the black and white pic...tonality and sharpness...did you have to do much with it digitally ?

 

[aerofotografik]

Thanks Crashgate3, the b/w photo is pretty much as shot, added a touch of sharpness, but that's all.

This is a quickie shot of Glacier Girl at home in the hangar museum in Middlesboro, Kentucky.

Witaj Krzysztofie,
To wspaniale spotkac na tym forum rodaka. I jeszcze tak uzdolnionego. Gratulacje jeszcze raz. Pozdrowienia z Krakowa.

Hi Chris !!!
The P-47 model is really great.I'm very impresed.You have to practise flying with the trainer model really.It would be a pity to annihilate such an excellent work at the first flight.

PS. Urodziłem się w Kępnie Wlkp.

V2, Wurger tu jest zdiecie co robilem z samolotu gdzie mieszkalem pierze 5 lat zyciu.[/I][/B][/I][/I] Aerial view of my home town in southwestern Poland. This is common to the scenery lot of ww2 pilots flew over. Rural towns such as this, have not changed much since those days. I rented time in a Wilga from the Aeroklub Jeleniogorski and was able to shoot my home town as well as other areas nearby where I have relatives. For anyone interested, I have many photos of my visit to Auschwitz/Birkenau, very much ww2 history. I have a particular shot I would like to share, it is a map of Poland that is on one of the walls in the camp. It shows all the railways leading to all the concentration camps in Poland, and there were many.I will post it soon. It is thanks to our air supremacy(and of course the men on the ground) that this did not go on any longer than it did.

Krzyś to zdjęcie jest fantastyczne.Szkoda że nie mam zdjęcia mojego miasta rodzinnego z lotu ptaka.
(Chris this pic is excellent.That's a pity I haven't had the bird's eye view pic of the town where I was born.)

 

[aerofotografik]

I would like to arrange flying time for aerial photography each time I visit Poland. Kupilem fajna ksziaszke o zdiec lotnicze z Wroclawiu. Bardzo cziekawe miasto.

Nice shot of the Bearcat!

I don't need a translation to know what happened at the labels in places like Oswiecim-brzezinka, Plaszow, Chelmno, Treblinka and others. The Nazis turned Poland into an orgy of killing.

 

[aerofotografik]

Thanks. Yes, no translation needed. A very humbling place to visit.

This Corsair is the one that is in Hangar Sortie #4.

 

[evangilder]

Hey Chris, were those your pictures in the Warbird Digest a while back with Glacier Girl?

 

[aerofotografik]

Yes. Issue #9.
