Good to see this thread still going strong.
Here’s my current work-in-progress…


Zeb, sorry for the slow reply. The reply notification for this forum doesn’t work very well, I have the impression…
Anyway, I am working in 3DSMax.
Here’s a recent update, btw:


Very nice! Great style!
Sadly no details of its origin survive, apart from that it came from a crash site in the Netherlands.
Hello Geoff, thanks for spotting and posting my Ju 88 animation! Glad you like it 🙂
Here is a Youtube clip for those unable to see it on Facebook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B1-526KFSU

Beermat and Fournier Boy, I would be very interesed in copies of your listings as well if at all possible? I’ll send a PM.
Mike, this is the blade: https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAwMFg1NjM=/z/WLgAAOSwmaJcNGsa/$_84.JPG
That’s fantastic information, thanks very much for explaining it here! I had guessed it was a 5000-series 13 ft DH prop, but that’s where I got stuck. Great to learn about the science behind these numbers, thank you!
That’s wonderful information, Fournier Boy, thank you very much.
If you don’t mind me asking, how/where did you find out? A manual or actual engineering plans?
Anon, thanks, but a photo wouldn’t have been too helpful as there were many more DH props with this shape. The number was the only way to be sure.
That’s a really cool painting indeed.
Here’s one of my latest creations: one of a set of profile illustrations for Warbird Digest magazine.

Blimey indeed! Good call resurrecting this, Geoff! Great to see Mark’s paintings coming to life.
The past year and then some has been slow going for me for various reasons, but 2018 should be lots better. For now some Luft’46 violence that was created for a couple of Luftwaffe secret projects bookazines by Dan Sharp for Mortons Media.
A pair of Junkers Ju 287 A-1 bombers for “Luftwaffe – Secret Bombers of the Third Reich” (August 2016)

And a Blohm & Voss P 215.02 all-weather fighter for “Luftwaffe – Secret Wings of the Third Reich” (August 2017)

Anybody fancies a guess at what plane it has shot down?
This image was also released as print by AviationGraphic by the way.
The unit emblem is that of 2./EJG 2, a night fighter replacement unit, which explains the title of the piece “The New Generation”:

Lastly another image that features on the title page of above-mentioned bookazine, showing a hypothetical first prototype of the Henschel P 122 extreme-altitude bomber.

This too has been released as a print by AviationGraphic.
Next year should see more artwork of real planes again.
The Japanese “liked” it so much, they designed their own!

Manshu Ki-98, still under construction at VJ-Day.
Yes that’s a C6N. Very nice scan!
I did something similar with the sole surviving “Rufe” wreck:

Sod camo! How about naked and polished!

Did you ever manage to find any photo of KG374?
