This is what we fought for. Every single soldier of the allies who gave his best for the war, is a hero. Whatever happened to German soldiers or civilians; SO ****ING WHAT!

And dont forget it.

Not sure what brought that on, but those two sisters were Polish. Victims of a Luftwaffe attack.

Civilians are off limits, no matter what side of the fence they happen to be on.

That was a bit uncalled for. EVERY soldier fought for his COUNTRY, regardless of the political affiliations. To condemn a soldier strictly based on the color of his uniform is prejudiced, biased and very short-sighted.

Now lets get back to pictures.....

Yes it is, and I didn't know that the RAF/RCAF used them!
Having just obtained a 1/48th scale example in that Revell 'Ground Support Equipment' kit I grabbed off e-bay, it's given me some ideas .............

to go with Jan's 'Tiff' (not the Neddel one) via google by Makoto Ouchi

An 'irritable' engine initially, that became close to its replacement in the Tempest by the Centaurus radialled Tempests/Furies, one of the most high powered per displacement engines ever made - also its roughly one imperial ton of engine made it one hell of an armour plate in front of the pilot.

Mmmm Volkswagen/Bugatti have the W16, mmm, maybe one of the English/Bitish manufacturers should do homagé to concept of the Sabre?

Oh found this link to scale model Napiers

I got one of those tractors with the Tamiya Corsair so it seems I can maybe use it for something other than a US subject. Anyway, sorry to highjack the thread. Here's a pic for the thread:

Japanese vessel is in serious trouble with bomb bursts geysering near it. It is part of a convoy trying to reinforce the big base at Ormoc, Leyte. Note the military trucks forward of the superstructure.
