Yep, it would be nice to have 239 modeled with multi-wing-point physics and NASA wind tunnel test tables.

Happy first of May! (Finnish carnival)

But Mr.Wimpy it's not a swastika!

I KNOW it isn't. It's very obvious in the image that it isn't.

It seems that hangover is very common disease in finnish culture after a holiday. I got some similar symptoms as xjazz did earlier this morning

Brewster anyone???

Wimpy and Siaf, what on earth are you talking about??? Surely IT is a swastika, a hooked cross.

Maybe you are trying to say that it is NOT a Nazi swastika.

To elaborate on the subject, there has never been a thing called "Von Rosen Cross". Such name has been born on these boards to tell of its origin and to separate it from the Nazi swastika. Surely the blue swastika came to FAF from Count von Rosen, but it was still called jus a swastika.

Actually, what we're referring to is the graphic in the 3rd message on the 6th page that shows a FAF Buffalo in POST Swastika insignia. The blue and white cockade.

Ahh.. ok.. sorry, my mistake

And certainly you meant the FAF Brewster

... Buffalos were the later degraded versions on the allied side

F2A-1 and its export version B-239 were before them.

Nope, I meant Buffalo. Same basic design built by the Brewster company.

On this side of the Atlantic, we have a tendency to refer to all of the F2A family as Buffalos.

I'd settle for the FM2 painted like the Finn version of the Buffalo. Like flying the FM2 alot. It's alot of fun....

Could we have it, huh, could we, huh? I waaaant it, I waaaaaaaant it!

It works for now, but I would REALLY like to see the Buffalo, as well as the Gloster Gladiator, the CR 32/42, the Polikarpov I-15bis/I-153, the A5M Claude, the Ki-27 Nate and several others that have been chatted about in other threads.

Frankly though, I doubt very much if we'll see ANY of these.
