some of the newer ones are causing problems but all their older (A5) sheets will be great..
The Dragon A5 is a beauty by the way..has the dual gun pods.....

I did the A5 flown by Leutnant Otto Kittel, Staffelkapitan of 2./JG54 'Grunherz' in Courtland (Latvia) Eastern Front, Spring 1944.

I normaly don't go in the I want this plane kinda rant... but it would be fun (if unrealistic) to see this one   (just joking)

Horten Ho 229 also called Go(Gotha)229

   

It flew in Jan 1945 (only preproduction fase) and one is currently undergoing restoration
   

Topspeed : 607 mph at 24800 feet
Ceiling  : 52500 feet
Range    : 1,970 miles (3170km) at 393mph (635km/h) with two drop tanks
Armament : 4 MK108 30 mm guns + 2 2000lbs bombs
Engines  : Two Junkers Jumo 004B turbojets
Thrust   : 1,980lb (900kg)

How's that for an überplane  

PS: sorry for the big pics I nicked from the Luftwaffe resource page  
PPS: WTG on the A5 Naty   now give us the D9 (hehehe us customers are never satisfied)

This is unfortunately I can find at this time. I believe Ospreys's Fw 190 Aces of Eastern Front has more info about Kittel and his plane.

Actual screenshot would be nice!

NATEDOG,
is Kittel's mount the one shown on Osprey: FW Aces of the Eastern Front?
"And one of the finest aircraft I ever flew was the Macchi C.205. Oh, beautiful. And here you had the perfect combination of italian styling and german engineering .... it really was a delight to fly ... and we did tests on it and were most impressed." - Captain Eric Brown

gatt: The one of the cover of the that book is Walter Nowotny's FW190A-4
 

Natedog: Is the A-5 looking something like plate 39 in the above mentioned book?

Otto Kittel  KIA 14 feb 1945
267 confirmed kills all on Eastern Front
Achived less then 40 kills flying Bf109's and the rest with the FW190A

Guys
Nate sent me a BMP of the a5..
It is not in the osprey book, I found it in my combat AC of ww2 book. If you have that book there is a fold out with an A5, d9 and ta152 on it the a5 is ours. I have permision to post the picture and I will as soon as I get a chance.
Has anybody else noticed that most if not all of the colour plates of A6s in the Osprey East front 190  book have mgffs in the outboard wing position? Were they really A5s or did they screw up the art work?
