Ram ,With that FW i am sure you will be able to deliver those pizzas you promised on time. Not to mention making anyone who gets in your way into pizza sauce.

Actually this one is a converted A-7. Note 4 cannons and no bubble canopy.

Yes, I agree - the Dora is the most beautiful prop plane of WW2. Some of them had really cool paintjobs too. Here's my suggestion for the paintjob:

Anyone else with a paintjob suggestion ?

Yep, I got to agree with you RAM, that was the ultimate prop fighter. Hopefully we will get a chance to prove it within the cyber skies of AH.

Of course, those crafty Allies came up with some deadly aircraft themselves.

Yep that's no D-9, that is a prototype designated Fw 190 V53, Werknummer 170003 DU+JC, a converted A-8.

I'm not sure why there is a hole in the spinner. The Jumo 213A-1 did not have a provision for a spinner-mounted cannon.

Ahhh gentlemen....the finest WWII prop fighter was and still is the P-51D, "Cadillac of the Skies".

Just take a gander at a real mans ride!

Rude Out!

Hristo · « **Reply #11 on:** April 20, 2000, 12:44:00 AM »

The hole in the spinner is there to fool all the HO Spits Luftwaffe had to face, so they think there is an MK 103 in there

Yeager · « **Reply #12 on:** April 20, 2000, 08:20:00 AM »

Who was it that said "When I saw P-51s over Berlin, I knew the war was lost"?

And Yes, the 190 series is awe inspiring!
