Combat Warplanes / Focke wulf Fw 58 Weihe
« on: January 18, 2023, 07:17:54 PM »
January 18, 1935 - the maiden flight of the Focke-Wulf Fw 58 Weihe multirole aircraft. In 1933 the Nazis came to power in Germany. It began the active development of the German Air Force, which had previously been carefully hidden. In 1935, the Luftwaffe announced a competition to develop a multi-purpose aircraft - for pilot training, use as a transport or ambulance. Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau AG presented its project Fw 58 Weihe.
It was a low plane with retractable landing gear for 4 crew members. The Fw 58B version was equipped with 2 ? Argus As 10C (240 hp) engines. Cruising speed was 238 km/h, range - 690 km. Could be armed with two ? 7.92-mm machine guns.
The Fw 58 Weihe was the first twin-engine Focke-Wulf to enter production. In addition to the German Air Force, it was also in service in Argentina, Brazil, Czechoslovakia, Spain, Hungary and other countries. It was produced 1670 planes. Some of them were converted into civilian airliners.

Combat Warplanes / Re: Su-24
« on: January 18, 2023, 11:17:20 AM »
At January 17, 1970 was the maiden flight of the Su-24 frontline bomber. In 1961, the Design Bureau of P.O. Sukhoi started work on a new all weather airplane to be used for attacking ground targets. It was intended to be a replacement for the Su-7B fighter-bombers. After several years of development, a prototype T6-2I was built which become the prototype of the Su-24 frontline bomber.
The Su-24 is a two-seat high-plane with variable sweep wings (from 16? to 69?). The Su-24M variant was powered by two ? AL-21F-Z engines with 110 kN thrust on afterburner. Maximal speed - 1700 km/h, combat radius 560 km. Armament: 23-mm gun + up to 7000 kg of rockets / bombs on 8 external pylons points.
The new bomber entered service in the USSR Air Force in February 1975. The total number of built Su-24s of all versions was about 1400. It was exported to Iraq, Syria, Libya, Algeria, etc. Today it remains in service with the Air Force of a number of post-Soviet and African countries.

True, it is sanded and need more to apply. It is not as precise to assemble, must say that assembly elements are not so smart designed

I am amazed with this topic 
not many people know about this so promising fighter projects, and I like it very much, I read about it many years ago. Wish you best luck with this build

This goes somehow forward, every part need to be fit before gluing. And I guess I am just on half of assembly work.
