Never mind these H, where is that Hind we all need to see finished?? :lol:
You should merge them all into one aircraft, and make the mother of all ground attack monsters. :wacko:

Ha....these will be relatively quick builds.....I want some stuff to go into my newly aquired model cabinet before SWMBO'd fills it up with hair products an hair straighteners or something similar......The naval Hind A will probably follow on from these,if I don't do my AVG planes first or my alternate Finish WW2 a/c.....gotta admit.....gotta be in the mood really......an I'm in the mood at the moment to get these three done.......although I really wanna get some of my attack helo's done...... ;D

Little bit of interior work.....changed the rear MG81Z to an aires resin/brass .50 cal.....what a little bugger that is.....5 bits of resin n 3 bits of etch....folding one of them tested me....it really did.....seemed like a good idea at the time.....

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

The rear guns will all be .50cal for commonality.....progress so far....waiting for glazing to be masked n attached for undercoating....,

The Wooksta!

The only two plausible/believable ways I could see the Isrealis getting their hands on tank busting Stukas - or Stukas in general come to that - are:

1. The Czechs were willing to sell them whatever intact Luftwaffe aircraft that was left on Czech soil.  They got S199s as the Czechs were producing them and had the CoG problems not persisted with it, they would have got the Letov L290 (a rebuilt Ju 290).  Ar 96s, Bu 181s, Siebel Si 204s, Me 262s* and Fieseler Storches remained in production for the Czechs post war.  The Czechs almost chose the Fw 190D over the Bf 109 as they had about 100 airframes, so that one would have a toenail in reality.

2.  The Isrealis were trying to purchase anything they could get their hands on, flyable or not.  Perhaps they bought up a load of aircraft scrap in Italy (some night sorties were flown by Stukas in northern Italy before the war ended).


The latter was one scenario I came up with but never utilised, although I did start a load of Bf 109s.


*The Czechs tried selling an improved Me 262 to the Yugoslavs, with BMW 003 engines rather than the Jumos and an improved nosegear.

The back story I had thought about was the Czech supplying all three types of aircraft in various amounts and conditions......those were cobbled together into flyable condition.....only ever thought of about 2 x Hs129,4 or 5 Ju87G and maybe a few more Il2's.......the israeli's wanted ground attack/support a/c n this is what they got initially.......well,in my world that is..... ;D.......thanks for the input  :thumbsup:
