Gunrunner Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 The peculiar wing design and paint scheme are screaming the name at you... Quote
Slartibartfast Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Told you it was easy... but if I do more it will get harder much much harder... Edited September 7, 2012 by Slartibartfast Quote
Gunrunner Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Let's wait and see if anyone else finds it, too be honest I don't think it's that well known, even though to me it's as iconic as Ader's planes. Quote
fallenphoenix1986 Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 someone lopped the nose of an S-51? Craig Quote
Gunrunner Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Well, since there's no other taker for Slarti's bird, it was a Westland Pterodactyl I Fates, maybe a dedicated cartography/artillery spotting plane prototype, mid 30's to early 40's, no idea concerning the country of origin though...

ezlead Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Focke-Wulf FW 187 Falke (Falcon) Here's a great WW2 aircraft site! http://www.militaryfactory.com/ Quote
+KnightWolf45 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Focke-Wulf FW 187 Falke (Falcon) Here's a great WW2 aircraft site! http://www.militaryfactory.com/ yep his right a damm beatifull brid Quote
+Gepard Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Correct Focke Wulf 187 Falke Here two pictures of this beauty on flight. Fast and agile as a single seat fighter. Much better than the Me-110. This bird in big numbers would perhaps have changed the Battle of Brittain. Quote
+Veltro2k Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Yeah, I've got that book too! Nope! Hmm... is it too difficult? The Osprey Encyclopedia of Russian Aircraft :D Quote
+JediMaster Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 The course of many battles and wars would have been different if all weapons were picked on their own merits and without politics interfering. Quote
Gunrunner Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 That's one ugly toad from that angle... dare I say it's a Kalinin K-11 ? (not 100% sure on the number, but the one with the ridiculous orange/yellow feathers paint scheme) Quote

fallenphoenix1986 Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 K-12 :P Probably wouldnt have guessed without Gunrunners post Craig Quote
fallenphoenix1986 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Asuming I go that last one I guess its my turn: Have at it lads. Craig Quote
Gunrunner Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 That's weird... I could have sworn it was an italian design (Savoia-Marchetti 9? can't remember which) but I see it sports german markings... Now I'm confused. Quote
Gunrunner Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Nah, the Me-109Z had the other canopy faired (maybe adding a fuel tank, can't remember), here it's absent, and the engine are protruding a lot more than on other Me-109, besides, the canopy is wrong, looks a lot like an Il-2... Some kind of obscure captured russian prototype re-engined with german engines ?? Quote
