Also there is a PE set included. The differences are just decal markings and the PE sets ( depending...

Hello, everyone! I have been fascinated with aviation since I was young. I've tried to read any books about aircraft that I could find in the house or school, back then. Right now, I've become more interested in WW2 aircraft than ever. My first flight sims were MiG Alley and Enemy Engaged...

I have found the trouble with the Manage Attachment window while trying to use it for uploading. Its layout looks like a mess. There is a problem with adjusting to the window size methinks. It looks fine while the window is the large type. Anybody else...? Please check on that.

Greetings! I'm trying to identify this aircraft part that I found on former German airfield in Czech Republic. There was also a black lacquered cover from Do 217, which leads me to the believe that it comes from Do 217 too. IMG_9838_zpsanwbaqbd.jpg Photo by Giftmacher | Photobucket...

Hello everyone, I found this picure on the internet: The link from where I have found it just says it is a picture from a G3M bomber. If it's in fact a Nell, what caught my attention is that the aircraft appears to have an armored windshield, and I'm not aware of the Nell or at...

Hello! Does anyone happen to know the general range of radios for fighters in the early part of the war along the Eastern front? (Yak-1 range would be even more perfect, after they started installing them in 1942, obviously :) ). I've found a few different specs on radios in general, but there...
