Looks like they have taken old Pegasus kits as shining example. Pegasus kits are also, at least most of them, pre-planned disasters where NOTHING really fits well!

Combat Warplanes / Brewster Buffalo book is out!!
« on: March 16, 2013, 12:44:28 PM »
Yesterday, 15 March 2013 Volume 2 of the Fokker G-1 book was officially introduced at the MLM museum at Soesterberg in the Netherlands. Review will follow on the website. After the official introduction of the G-1 book, the latest Warplane volume no. 4 on the Brewster Buffalo was also 'officially' released. We managed to cram in 48 pages not only the conscise story of the Buffalo in all its versions, but also 90 photographs and 8 colour profiles!
Next volume will be on the Fokker C.10 armed reconnaissance plane.

Combat Warplanes / Kawasaki KI-78 KEN: the final end
« on: March 13, 2013, 11:41:51 AM »
On the Letletlet website and in the first issue of our digital magazine we have amply discussed the Kawasaki Ki-78 high speed research plane. We only mentioned the program was at some timepoint terminated without giving the final fate of the plane.
From attached photo its final end is very clear. After the capitulation of Japan it was discovered by US troops at Gifu. It was crushed to total destruction by a U.S. tank. A sad end......

And this is the real one!
The Germans made this conversion for direct comparison of different airframes with same engine.
I believe the German test pilots praised it for its good handling quality (which is not very surprising...)

Warplane Art / Re: DH 104 Dove
« on: February 09, 2013, 12:57:29 PM »
The Dove was not only used by civilian operators, but also by military. Royal Navy in the UK had a number on their inventory and the Dove exhibited at Aviodrome is one of these machines.
The Schiphol based Dove was also used by Martin Air Charter for short flights over the Amsterdam area in the early sixties flown by Martin Schröder; later CEO of Martinair! Cost of flight was Dfl 12,50 (some 5.5 Euro) but with a coupon from the magazine 'Cockpit' you could make this flight for only Dfl 10. Photo shows Dove PH-MAD at Hangar no. 6 at the side platform of Schiphol. I took this shot in late spring 1961 with my Agfa Clack 6 x 9 cm camera. Flight was a birthday present from my parents.

It is very interesting that the Skyknight did not have ejector seats for the crew of two, but an escape tunnel between the two seats.

Iran received in total some 60 Tomcats including spare parts and including Phoenix missiles.
After the revolution all support was stopped but Iranian F-14's have been updated with Russian systems.
Currently some 20 must still be airworthy.
Here is another small image opdate!
