I think you've solved a mystery for me. In the late Seventies when I lived in Caracas I watched a series called OVNI, and loved it. Never knew where it came from. It was obviously UFO...I'm going to have to source some DVDs. Thanks.

You can watch a lot of the episodes complete on youtube. Not sure if they're all on there but a lot are.

I haven't seen this bird before

More pictures here.

Woah ! Now that's pretty wild ! Looks like it would lose a lot of it's oomph with the radial's cooling vents open tho

Just found this F-104 based U-2 precursor design (long wing Starfighter alert for Kit!): http://www.modellversium.de/galerie/8-flugzeuge-modern/10724-lockheed-cl-282b-eigenbau.html

This longed wing Starfighter will please our PR19_Kit expert of long wings...

[Captain Canada]

I guess that's one way to build that crappy Minicraft kit ! I never realized how much the conopy does look U-2ish.....

[PR19_Kit]

Not bad at all, but that's pretty much what Kelly Johnson did to make the U-2 anyway. 

That canopy looks a lot better that the rubbish Minicraft U-2 canopy. For some reason that one's about half the correct height!

cool looking Dutch Hawker Hurricane Mk.II over on the dutch modlling forum

That Hurricane looks nice - the Netherland's paint scheme is very unique, gotta try/use it sometime, too...

[NARSES2]

That is nice Nils, thanks for posting. I've done a Dutch Hurri but it was in standard RAF markings and had the Orange Triangles so I may well "copy" this one

It is isn't it, especially the undersides ? I like it and have used it on a couple of Dutch What If's. I think that the big model shop at/near Schipol had White Ensign make up Dutch camouflage colours for them but you can only get them from Holland ?

The new Airfix Mk I, when released, may well release an lot of late 30's wifs from me. Already plan a Greek one

[Dizzyfugu]

The cammo can be easily "replicted" with Humbrol enamels - already did some research/trials. My bet is 168 (the glorious RAF "Hemp"), 195 (Chromeoxide Green) and simple 10 (Gloss Brown, might be slightly tinted with some black). I have a Fokker XXIII in my stash that will end up this way, and also consider this livery for a Dutch whif conversion - even though the latter should be located in the East Indies, so that an Jongblad/Oudeblad livery would be more appropriate. But the three tones and the brown undersides just look SO cool...

Nice prop driven version of the Ar-234 (well, as far as anything with props can be called 'nice'... ): http://www.flugzeugforum.de/threads/73546-Arado-Ar-Ta-235-N-0-Stachel

Can't see the pics unless you sign up, in German presumably. 

They wouldn't let me in unless I spelt my surname with two 'n's at the end I bet. 

[ChernayaAkula]

That's right, Flugzeugforum.de won't let you see their attachments unless you're signed in. You can see the pics of the (rather cool) whif on the builder's personal homepage, though.  LINK!
