Tokushima

First post here. Some of y'all may recoginze me as "Takeichi-Nishi" on dA; I know Sport21ing does, as we both watch each other. I'm also available in Shipbucket as "Bordkanone 75."


Sukhoi Su-6s (M-71) in various schemes.

Wellcome aboard sir  :thumbsup: Very nice way to introduce yourself.

Post War IAR-81 is very neat. I've always considered it to be an attractive aircraft  :thumbsup:

The Portuguese Albemarle is an interesting use for the aircraft as well

A bit of a pain to do in plastic though. Does anyone currently do an Albemarle?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Piaggio P.119; the one with a buried engine


And finally, a Luftwaffe 1946 addition: the top aces' exclusive Bf 109X with a Daimler-Benz DB-603 powering it.

Ah, very good, thanks.

I've had a hankering to do one for some reason, dunno why.

I suspect that reviewer's got his airfields mixed up though, they more likely flew from Harwell, not Hanwell as Hanwell is right in the middle of Banbury and Harwell was an airfield before it became the AERE.

Yup the Albermarle is one of those aircraft which gave some good service, but not in its necessarily intended role that tends to get missed.

He has a whole string of various WHIFs.  Couldn't find him mentioned here previously though.

I particularly like the Martin B-51s, especially the RAF one!
