Kostucha Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Ohhh, this is going to be a nice one. The 217E's just look... weird, but menacing at the same time. Those replacements look pretty good too! This ones going to be nice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Mikester Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Neat subject, Jes. One of the issues of "Luftwaffe im Focus" has a great story on one of the sorties flown by this unit, amazing they came back in one piece! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kostucha Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Jes, or Mike, what is the story behind this particular aircraft? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Touvdal Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yes Mike, it is in no. 6, but this plane was lost on 15/16 September 1943, over Italy, so it could not have been in this misssion as this was 22.1.44. cheers Jes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GGoheen Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Love the look of this one Jes....a Henschel Hs 293 guided bomb under the starboard wing and an auxiliary fuel tank under the port wing...very menacing! :wub: Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Touvdal Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Finished, 72/73 is a very low contrast scheme, always had a hard time when looking at b/w photoes, to determin lines between the the 2 colors. cheers Jes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
