An AEW version with Suez crisis stripes would be awesome for the 50th anniversary next year!

Probably go after a two seat Sea Fury myself. Pretty sure there are one or two left that haven’t been ‘Skyraiderised’ with R3350s 🙂

I’d like to see the whole world Skyraiderised, but then again I am biased! 😀 😀 😀

Seriously though, I prefer original kites too 🙂

My fav… sheesh… only ONE? Impossible… It must be a Skyraider… or an Me 262… or perhaps the Fw 190 V18/U1 (CF+OY, W.Nr. 0040) if you really want a specific serial! 😉

O and if it still has to exist today, I may just go for this little bugger! Gotto love it! 😎

Good stuff! Too bad it’s on the other side of the globe!

Turbo… you might wanna buy some more cards indeed! A 512mb CF is a must! Be sure to get a fast one too (40x or more) so you don’t miss a thing! 😉

It’s a fantastic re/new-build indeed! Fantastic to see an airworthy E-model!

BUT, will we (in the UK) be able to actually see it with our own eyes? Is it or will it be accessible in any way before if disappears to the States, never to be seen again? And even better, will it give any flying displays in the UK before it heads off west?

Like low-flying black oldtimer jets? 🙂

It flies indeed! 🙂

Taken at Flying Legends 2004 – the Duxford one that is 🙂

They must have put that cover there on purpose… just to annoy future aviation researchers! 🙂
And surely no data survived to confirm the identity of this machine either… Hopefully ebay will provide the answer one day! 😉

Now if anyone would have a good photo of a German P-51 D model, that would be really interesting! 😉

The green on wheelhubs is a specially designed paint that absorbs the heat from the brake discs really well.

No, I am only joking! Sorry! 😀 I don’t have a clue. Maybe Oleg has an answer?

Thanks for the pictures, guys.
Oleg, I am sending you an e-mail right now. Thanks!

Franck, good to see you here too 🙂

Stieglitz, not sure about the Shuttleworth CSS-13. Last year there were problems I remember but this year she should fly. Here’s a pic I took in the spring:

Great instrument panel photo, that last one! 🙂

To give you an idea why I am looking for Po-2/U-2 restoration photos… here is a work-in-progress image of my newly started 3D cutaway model of the U-2VS:

Oleg, I hope you can show me more photos, as they are a great help to me! Thanks again! 🙂

Nice photos, Oleg, thanks!
Do you also have photos of the internal structures (ribs, etc…)?

Eric, I believe there was. Britain and some other countries were experimenting with new wing shapes as well. But nowhere it was as advanced as in Germany, neither where they appreciating the high-speed potential of swept wings.

TNZ, if you like “1946” speculations, check out these books:
http://www.luft46.com/jbbooks.html
Coincidentally, I have made some illustrations for vol.2 of The Alternate Luftwaffe which will be out in the next few months.
And if you have never seen the main site before (http://www.luft46.com), go check it out. Don’t miss the LuftArt gallery. It’s what got me started making 3D aviation art!
