Me-110 (Bar Shot) of the Independent Duchy of Gaaarr - Finished ye lubbers

[buzzbomb]

During the pell mell of the end of the Second World War, a number of ex Luftwaffe Aircraft from the south of France were "liberated" and onsold to grateful (or not so grateful) clients.

One of these, an ME-110 fell into the hands of the self styled Independant Duchy of Gaaarr, who then promptly put it to use as to cover for their fleet of pirate vessels operating off the Central African Coast, picking off small trading craft. Romantically, all the craft displayed the Jolly Roger, much favoured, ironically, by the leader Generallissmo Sven Porta, a deserter from the Foreign Legion. Sure enough this little enterprise was soon shut down by larger powers. Or was it.........?


Dug out an old ME-110 from the stash.. lets see what I can do with it.

More to follow.

Needs "Schräge Musik"! Not upwards-firing, but (for that whiffy, piraty twist) side-firing!  It ain't a pirate craft if it can't fire off a broadside!

thinking through this last night I had similar thoughts.. although on slightly different lines.

What I propose is a weapons crossgrade. Given German 20mm and 7.92 ammo may be in short supply a different weapons load will be used.. bwahahahaha.. more on that to follow.
As much as the thought of broadsides tickles me that is not the tack I will be taking. Yet.

However progress has been made.. the propellers are off and the wheels back on
