Perhaps they were trying to imitate a Fw.190 ? completely disregarding the fact that the Sea Fury is almost twice as big as a Fw.190

That is really neat. Was that for a movie, and if so, which?

Cheers,

Logan

Yeah, but in a quick shot of a strafing run it'd be close enough to fool most people with some knowledge of aircraft (or at least be close enough to maintain their suspension disbelief).

As far as I am concerned, I can see but I cannot join (more than 10 minutes "waiting" with a blank screen).

Only 9 days later (

Same here Tophe, and the British Flying Boats and Amphibious Aircraft group, the approvals aren't

That's crazy cool !

It does look pretty good in that scheme... Now, let's paint up a 190 as a Sea fury and really confuse the masses....

Thanks for volunteering, Cap!

Nice concept! And not far from truth, since there's an experimental CH-60 with a similar arrangement in live tests...

...and then THIS - obviously not a whif, but...
