Soviet Dora

[Eddie M.]

Thought y'all might like to see this beauty. I'm sure it's been thought of before, but it never crossed my mind to do up a captured German aircraft in Soviet colors.
Hmmmmmmmm.........

Thats not a whiff, I have heard from several sources and seen several pictures of Fw-190d-9's in Soviet service. A couple squadrons from the Soviet Baltic fleet impressed 30 or so into service at the end of 1945 for about a year or two.

See, I learn something new everyday. Thanks for the heads up. B)

That for sure is not a whiff, I have several pictures of Fw 190D-9s with the Red stars painted on them.

The new book(s) by Jerry Crandall and Vol.2 of the JaPo Fw 190D Camouflage & Markings should have information about the Doras captured by the Russians.

I have been thinking about doing a Ta 183 that had been captured by Russian forces and having the Red stars painted over the German markings.

Don't forget German aircraft use in the USAAC / USAAF.

1939-1940 USAAC XC-44 was a Bf-108.

C-79 was a single Junkers Ju52, possibly a impressed aircraft.  Don't know.

Anyone for a Ju352 re-engined with R2800s and flown by USAFE in the late 40s as a C-79B?

Fw 190 was the NC-900.
