The Ukraine guys at alternathistory.com re-interpreted one of my builds (and the respective RW background), the Saab J 19B:

Wonder if the more recently built J 19D (the silver one with the Mustang engine/nose) will pop up there, too?
They also seem to have recognized that they are "under observation"...

After the Saab 19B, the (more recently built) 19D was added to the Ukaine's alternative reality forum:

Most interestingly, this time whatifmodelers.com was quoted as the inspirational source!

At last, our fame is spreading.

Another accidental find:



More pics/in-flight scenes here: http://live.warthunder.com/post/544456/en/

This one is based on a profile at FlickR, created by Canadian modeler and artist FrancLab; as per usual, no original source/credits were quoted.


Heinkel He-100 G2 1944 by François, on Flickr

...which was, in turn and as a kind of tribute work, turned into model hardware, too:


1:72 Heinkel He 100 G-2; aircraft "10+ Red" of 2. Gruppe, I./JG 4, mount of Unteroffizier ("Uffz.") Helmut Behringer; Mizil, Romania; September 1944 (Whif/Special Hobby kit conversion) by dizzyfugu, on Flickr

Good ideas seem to wander... 

[PR19_Kit]

They didn't even bother to change the side number!

[Dizzyfugu]

Yes, it's very true to the original. What I find sad is, though, that the skin was grafted onto a stock He 100, and that the cockpit section of the CG model was not changed. Either lack of attention, know how, or skill?

Oh my, I totally missed it here ! Thank you for the reminder!
At least the link I posted brings you to the complete building process.

A build by Claymore over on Beyond the Sprues - one of the best, I wish I could nominate it for a Whiffy!

Sometimes, the Warthunder.com forum really amazes me - e. g. with things like this:



Looks like an alternative to the Spearfish - but it's "only" an Aichi B7A2 with a post WWII RN skin grafted onto it. Lovely! 

[PR19_Kit]

I thought it WAS a Spearfish, it's very good indeed. 

[TheChronicOne]

That's cool!  Looks gorgeous. 

Speaking of Warthunder.... I created my own "whif" the other day when made my Pe-8 bomber into a Slovakian Air Force bird. 

Even without mods the stock customization tools in-game allow for creating some really neat stuff. They "nerfed" it a bit on one of the recent updates, however. Used to be you could put a decoration on the plane and make it way oversize which in turn allowed for creating some really unique liveries. I couldn't get it to work last time. Maybe they didn't nerf it and maybe I was just doing it wrong but it didn't work any more, at least on the Pe-8.

Also, the land speed tracked vehicle is brilliant... a masterpiece I'd say!

So did I first off

What he said.  Look closely, the torpedo gives it away, as the Spearfish carried it internally.

Found on one of the forums I was surfing earlier.  Whence it came from originally, I do not know...
