Was there 5 years ago, Czechs have a impressive engineering heritage.
Avia, Jawa, Skoda, Zlin, Aero. This is something elese than Kbely..which is also very nice..
Basement was great as well; it has a complete oremine there, with the minirails and the tunnels…

Looks great Chris!

If you want encouragement to finish it, here it is :p
I would vary two or 3 shades of green on the flowers.
As for the suits, whatelse did they have than grey, black and brown in those days?

The overexposure on the windows looks natural, but probably the drapers had a lighter but contrasting colour, maybe matching the carpets..

You made me want to make a model, and i dont careif it is not correct, it just plainly looks beautiful. A mistake I’ll happily make 🙂

having experienced some OPEL recalls I have quite a different opinion.
They had plenty of time to sort themselves out..
Nothing Blitz about a Vectra

Looking at these images from ’44 just makes you wonder where we would be today if German engineering had been able to continue unabated at the pace they had established way way back then. They were leaps and bounds ahead of the Americans and Soviets.

Stealth, swept wings, axial flow gas turbines , variable geometery and of course modern guided rocketry (which hasn’t change all that much today other than digital control)

This is of course puting aside for a moment the few unsavioury individuals who tarnished the reputations of their nations best.

Have to admit that my new German table saw and planing machine puts the competition in the shade for quality, simplicity and function.

Pity we can’t take a world lead in much manufacturing ourselves anymore these days…….

One of the museum Connie insiders told me they were negotiating to get eninges of the MATS connie that went to South Korea, and is not destined to fly there.

One Connnie moves inside, they have to put the DC 4 outside, so it’s choosing between two evils.

Inside the museum the work on the Norseman and the Nord built me 108 offspring is progressing lovely

That looks just great!!
Thanks for sharing this great footage.
Amazing to see the turbulnece on one of the low passes.
I just read in the Aeroplane Monthly about the Vamprire, and that they used the airbrakes for toiletpaper bombing. I was wondering if this is done at all anymorre at the odd airshow…
beats poppydrops 😀

Ahh the Hastings… first time i ever got to know about it was during a trip to UK in 1993 on a weekly day in september in Cosford. I was with a customer who had just finshed chemo for bowelcancer. We went to cosford as a side trip for our busieness and the hangar was closed cause they had planking dropping from the roof. But since we came all the way from Holland, and there were hardly any people they let us in only after taking hardhats 🙂
Since no one was in the whole space you can imagine what happened. There was a ladder at the cargodoor of the hastings.. so we sneaked in, and climbed to the top, and sat there for half an hour taking in the smell and images… it was like boys in a candystore 🙂
Sadly the man died three years later, and i met his wife at the funeral.. i later sent her the pictures and she said he had always talked about our little naughtiness at cosford It is a fond memory for me as well, whenever i see someting about the hastings it reminds me of him and i always smile…

I love the sight of that single seater in the air…
Guess how much more pairs are gonna be photographed over time involving this bird.

Still… the canopy does not look right :confused:
almost dont dare to say so, but can the convertible thingy be the case for that?
To me it looks as if the curve in the main piece is too sharply reclining backwards, or that the length op the piece is somehow too short, or that the whole thing is higher than on original me262’s. I’m not talking of the late model versuchs machines, that had a lower profile than the first.

Please dont take my comments a critsism to the project..
I could just suffer from the fact we all have never seen a lot of air to air shots of me 262’s.. 😮

I’ve once seen a pic of a dutch starfighter simulating a cruise missile during naval excersizes so well, that the jetflux actually sprayed up a bit too much..Ï’ll see if i can raise it somewhere…
