Looks as if they have gone through your flicker album Dizzy

I note that several (all?) of them give credit to redstar72 for assisting them in their editing.

I, also, note that redstar72 is an active member on this site (well, his profile has his last activity/log-on as being "April 02, 2016, 12:47:23 PM").

I assume it's the same person, though. I am just amused to watch how things get to start a "life on their own", and as long as the artwork source is given I am fine. I am just surprised that noone ever asked or made a comment at FlickR - after all, I can see there who visits what picture, that how I became aware of the whif's "second life".

Alternathistory.com was active again - this time an alternative take on the Avro Swallow from the BoB GB:

I love the look of that, great find Jesse!

Thanks

Alternathistory.com had my Kampfadler on there, too, some time ago. I sent them an email, explaining that they had not asked for permission to use the image. The page now has the same story they had come up with, but instead of my photo they have a link: http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,32859.0.html

While googling I stumbled across this here...



I should feel flattered, because it was inspired by this:  

1:72 Supermarine Spitfire F Mk. 24, aircraft "65" (s/n 50-0751) of 21st FS, 4th FG, Chinese Nationalist Air Force (CNAF); Formosa, ca. 1952 (Whif/Special Hobby Boss kit) by dizzyfugu, on Flickr

At least, the inspirational source was quoted. More (incl. pics) here: http://live.warthunder.com/post/434919/en/

It's a bit scary that people are actually flying around with a whif creation in a simulator?

I'd class it as an honour actually. 

An FS friend of mine in the US has been building an FSX version of the PR19 for some years now, but the M$ flight model makes it very difficult to get up to the correct 75000 ft max. altitude.

Wonderfull.  I wonder how many notice ?

Reminds me of the telescope set at 5 year old height in the Greenwich Royal Observatory. Has (or had) a sign which said" look through here and see the farthest planet out in the Solar System". If you looked through it, yes I did get down on my knees, you saw cartoon Pluto  Kids were walking away with smiles a mile wide
