That's lateral thinking, I like it.  ;D

And after this we'll have the He111 floatplane with the wings and floats from the He115 of course.

In Norwegian markings naturally.  ;)

That's really perverse!  :wub:
Anybody's doing it?

I have an He 111 H-6 looking for an idea so that might fit. I am thinking Floats from a Ju 52 though as I fancy doing one of those as well.

Good Lord, that's GENIUS!
It's a very interesting idea. One could use 1930's  British airliners.  There's   DH Albatross, DH Flamingo, AW Ensign, .........or if you really want to go for a totally off the wall suggestion......  a Vimy or HP 0/400  for quelling uppity groups in the 1920's Empire.  Even an Airspeed Ambassador used in Kenya against the Mau-mau.

It has already been done in real life!  ;D
Seen just yesterday some photos of a french Ju 52, around 1950, with a machine gun under one of the side windows.
From: Les avions allemands aux couleurs francaises Tome 2, Lela Presse 1997

sorry!
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Zut alors!!   I assume that it was used in Algeria or Vietnam


It's a most regrettable set of circumstances.  One thinks that one has imagined a suitable Whiff, and  then actuality creeps up and catches you a sharp blow on the back of the head.    Only good thing is that it might boggle a JMN or two.

Well,there are many variations on the theme, without an unpleasant base in real world...
I scanned the photo, from the text it was used in Algeria, you could build some earlier example. BTW, I am sure having seen other photos with a gun UNDER the windows, and a photo in flight together with a "normal" Ju. Maybe I dreamed it...
