    Or maybe she’s just in for repairs???
    I think by removing one engine and flying with the remaining 3 will keep you out of balance if it ever flew it must have been difficult to fly.

    You could be right about a short ferry flight.
    Still strange to remove the whole engine and nacelle :rolleyes:

    I remember seeing pictures of the b-17g dinah might it was 100% complete with only bend proppelor tips and a crushed chin turret.
    When large portions of water was drained near the ijselmeer now flevoland these relics just surfaced.
    Most of these wreck are scrapped including this b-17g (it was found if i remember correct in the mid ’60 or early ’70’s).
    These wreck must be salvaged and preserved (or restored )and go to a museum.
    Prefferebly in the country where they are found.
    Although not in a lake a b-29 superfortess is still lying in zeeland when it ditched there.
    There where rumours that parts would be salvaged but i haven’t heard anything about it ever since.
    Maybe anyone here nows about this b-29??:confused:

    I don’t think it was fire The way i see it it’s in the progress of scrapping look at the big chunks of metal lying there.
    What waste of a beatifull machine.
    The site says it was in use as nightclub (in France??)
    Although this aircraft is no exception vintage arliners and others are still undere threat of scrapping and vandalism.

    P-40e with russian engines

    Why they did is because there was a lack of spares for the Allisons engines.
    A large number of p-40 where grounded because of that.
    They fitted one with a Soviet M-105P engine and it worked great.
    Almost the same preformance as the Allison engines.
    So a lot of p-40 where equiped with the soviet engines.

    Combat with the Kittyhawks included ramming.It was said
    that the Kittyhawks fivelongoron wing structure was appreciated as pilots could afford to lose several longorons in physical contact!:eek:

    Awesome p-47d i find your work great!
    That must be a lot of work building something nice from the revell kit.
    Maybe you can build a 1/32 P-38 with some scratchbuilding there are a lot of recearch photo’s for you on the web.
    I found another version of p-47d no guts no glory but it’s camouflaged link for the decalset in 1/48 scale: http://m2reviews.cnsi.net/scotts/decals/super/ss48879.htm
