It is what it looks like: magnifying target scope. Galland had one installed on that machine.

I'm not sure if it replaced the reflector sight or mounted beside it on this aircraft.

Chaps,

You may want to bring extra water to the next scenario as the count so far places the next scenario in the great "Sahara Desert".



Hey! You still get a 109. They'll just look like this;

Dan,

Do you have any of these in your profile kit?

More like so?   I'm partial to II/JG 54 myself having been GL of them in both an Airwarrior BoB and an AH BoB😀  If BoB is run and I get a Spit squadron it would be the third time for 602 squadron


My last 602 Spit 😀

Nope, outside of Tropical Spit Vs.  I have 109E's but that's the only LW bird I've ever done as I really like the look of the Emil.  I did this one long ago, probably a dozen years ago at least.



If that's the way we go, then dibs on 417 Squadron RCAF.  I got this poster in 1980 in England and it's been framed on the wall ever since in my room, then my oldest son's room and now Matthew's room :)

Nice profile on that tropical Emil. Did you know that the spinner was yellow on the real plane?

I did a skin of this plane but submitted the yellow nosed trop instead.

At the time I did it, I was eyeballing it.  I hadn't dug in to RLM colors etc.  So it's an old best effort :)  I was teaching myself how to do the profiles in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop so a lot of it was guess my best.  If I were to redo it, I'd hit the RLM color charts better and the resources.  I have lots of the books on the Emil paint schemes as I really like that kite.  The ones I did for the last B of B were done with correct colors

I'm ready now.  When do we fly this Desert airwar? :)

Still the colors you used were close enough to the RLM standards. I would have lightened the sand color nyself, but some 109's had a darker tone.

Remember to cross reference your color selections. there are plenty of variations in sources claiming correct RLM matches.

505 the books I really relied on are the ones by Eric Mombeek.  I have all the ones that covered the invasion of France, the B of B period and into the Balkans as they cover the Emil really well.

I'm ready to keep Beefcake happy too.  I know he's never met a B-25 he didn't like

OK so it's a bit early, but anything to help the mood. 

If Bruv is going to take the Spit IXs it would have to be the Polish Fighting Team and their IXs.

I flew this P-40E model in the Dawn of Battle scenario.



It was a WEP powered P-40E. HTC has since taken the WEP away and placed it in the P-40F where it belongs.

Dan,

I am investing in your enterprise. If there are profiles that you need for the event. I'd like to help you get those for your collection. So... What do you need?

P-38G ?
P-39D ?
A-20/Boston ?

It's more a matter of making the time to create a template Red.  Once they decide which it is, I'll see what I have time for.  I'm assuming you'd like a good P40F model? 😀

Dan,

I have seen you do this in more than a few scenarios now. I am hoping we can work together on it. I'll follow your methodology for design and delivery. This is too much fun not to share and have our side enjoy.

Right down to the kill marks. :D  :aok

Give it some thought...

btw... Yes, P-40F most likely the 33rd FG or 57th FG.
