Ok... Here's my last model: a 1:48 Hasegawa A6M2-N. I'll get some better shots soon; this is the only one I have that didn't turn out very blury. This model took ages to finish: I put it off for a year or more while I was living abroad, I rebuilt it almost from the begining after that, I took...

I voted no as well. I admit that the Amiot 143, Bloch 210, etc. are ugly, but some (Amiot 354, LeO 451) are very nice.

CC, don't bother looking it up. I was just wondering if you chose it over the DB 605 because it was Italian or because it of some advantage.

Toss up between Bugatti 110 and Piaggio P.108T.

Was there any difference between the RA 1040 R.C.58 and the DB605A-1? I don't have much information on italian engines, but there doesn't seem to be any difference in HP, so it can't have changed much, if any.

I just did a google search for the registration number; it seems to be a Chilton DW.1/1

Hm. I don't think any of my books have much information specificaly on the P-51, but I'll take a look when I get home. So it's not always accurate, hm. I'm not too suprised, but I wish there was a good online resource.

Here is an XB-42A. It was fited with Westinghouse 19XB-2A turbojets as a test. Also note the twin buble canopies.

I'm trying to figure out how to use photos 1000aircraftphotos.com[/url]

Retry.

I've seen a documentary about the Battle of Britain that talks about the Hurricane for maybe 2 minutes. The only other place it gets in is when they show a Hurricane taking off. They say it's a Spitfire.

What would a bf-109E-4/trop fited with a bomb rack be called? I assume some existed, but I'm not sure what it would be. Like a cross between an E-4/trop and an E-4/B.

No, the Mitsubishi Ki.83. http://www.csd.uwo.ca/~pettypi/elevon/gustin_military/db/jap/KI83MITS.html

Ki-83. Really well armed, and apparently fast and manuverable, although most statistics on speed seem to be from US tests which used a higher octane fuel than would have been available to the Japanese.
