Looks like those jackboots could be a little slippery. I wonder if there was any sign of the famous german sense of humour...View attachment 491234

Now i have been made aware of the bogus Fw 190 (Thanks guys) Im taking it down and replacing it with something a little more real.....

 

[Shortround6]

And again, i have never seen such a set up on a 190. Im afraid i couldnt find any info for this pic.
Sooo citation needed....View attachment 491385

Photoshop???
Ailerons don't look very effective with downward travel blocked by the gun pod pylon.

Aside from trying to run three 20mm cannon through the landing gear bay.

Totally photoshopped.

Well spotted that man! Now i come to study it more i can see, why would anyone want to photo shop a 190? smh.
Tbh, my first thought was how would it get off the ground with all that weight and even if it did it would surely handle like a pig. Those supposed gun pods look suspiciously like fuel drop tanks, albeit with the cannon photo shopped into them. But im not certain. Just goes to show nothing is safe from the picture fakers. Whatever next....

Tiger tow T-34 for re-use

I learned in one of my Eastern Front reads that the Germans called T-34s 'Mickey Mouse' because the hatch covers resemble Mickey's ears

That terribly edited photo of the Fw190G has been floating around for some time. BTW, those "pods" on the wing (original - one per wing) aren't gun pods, they're fuel tanks.

In the photo preceeding the poor Fw190G, is a Messerschmitt P.1101, this airframe being V1 - it was a popular photo Op and aource of souvenirs for Allied personnel until V1 was shipped to the U.S.

The kind of crap like that 190 "pic" floating around on the net bugs me. Who's going to be around in 30 years to tell people these aren't real.

I agree 110%

This one seems to be making the rounds in various forums again, but there's others out there that have made the rounds, too.

.... the same people who aren't around now to tell people Game of Thrones plots and characters aren't real.

Thats exactly what i said about the fuel tanks in my comment after the guys told me it was photoshop

I remember seeing that 190 photo years ago. Some people would not believe it was photo shopped.

PS. should have left it up.
