Thank you for proving my point

Exactly. People with no lives other than sitting at their computers.

Jeremy Kinney of the NASM has a new book out about constant speed props, and I was surprised to learn that DH implemented a crash program to convert the two position props into governed constant speed props just prior to the beginning of the Battle of Britain, and that it made a huge difference to the outcome of the battle.

MiG-25s aren’t P-51s or Bf109s

The Fisher stuff is gone for good I’m afraid. All of the masters went up in flames.

FWIW, the three-bladed prop is not a Jablo. It’s a de Havilland two-position variable pitch prop. Jablo props came in with the Mk.V.

I can’t imagine AMK sinking money into a MiG-25 at this late date. If they had done it three or four years ago they would have owned the market. But ICM’s kit is too nice, and with the exception of the MiG-25P, they have either produced or announced every version of the single seaters.

I have no idea who any of the people you are talking about are. Never met any of them, but I did a search on the name, and I do not see anything that indicated to me that anybody deserved to be banned. Seems pretty juvenile to me.

I have no idea who you guys are talking about, but wow...

That is likely to be an aircraft on its way to Yugoslavia, with temporary USAF markings. I have never seen or heard of a camouflaged F-84G in anything besides the NATO standard Dark Green and Dark Sea Grey camouflage with PRU Blue below. That’s undoubtedly what this photo shows, but the color is horribly shifted in the original slide or negative.

Special Hobby claims to be working on one (eventually)

That photo is from 1946.

I don’t think any photos of the two famous P-40s from 12/7/41 are known to exist. We know the side numbers from their log books.
