To come back to the topic i would be very interested to know how recce could be done of GDR territory. For example wouldnt it have been possible to hide recce cameras in supply airplanes to West Berlin?

Thanks mates, i have already decided since a few month for Epson 4490 Photo.



Alternative would be Epson Perfection V500 Photo but i think its only 100 Euro more expensive because its power saving variant

Combat Warplanes / RAF Reconnaissance before Operation Neptune

« on: December 23, 2007, 12:40:03 PM »

Hi mfg.
Ive recently seen one of the most interesting tv shows about the invasion in Normandy. It was about the planning before the operations. The major plans of the "Atlantikwall" were smuggled to britain by a french resistance member. But it was not enough, they had to make photos of the beaches with Recce Spitfires in dangerous low level flights, additionally the asked everyone to send in Postcards from the years before which could depict the beaches. They said they used special technique in the recce but i cant remember at the moment. So they could later make 3-dimensional maps for the soldiers. Do you know some more about it?

merry Christmas,
Kilian

Just in case someone wants it, i bailed out at 35 Euro.
It was most probably taken after the great war and has inscripted on the fuselage: "Glück auf". This is motto of German 1.Bundesliga Football Club Schalke 04.

What is a resin model ? Is this premanufactured so you only have to paint it?
