Gepard

Shortly i found an old manual from my military time. There we had a little "game" there, called "Flugzeugerkennung NATO", (airplane recon NATO). In the manual were displayed the shapes of planes from various angles, performed as shadows. We had to realize which plane was on the picture and we had to say, which type, wheter friend or foe. For me it was fun, others hated it. Lets play it again. Please tell me, what it is: Which type, which version?

He-100A-0 (Okay, its a Ki-61 Hien, but the Hien was designed after the He-100)

Wow! A german gun in a british plane!

Over the White Cliffs of Dover

Nice plane. Well done. Only one thing. The MiG-29UB was izdeliye 9-51, not 5-51.

From the list, none. I would take the Fokker D.VIIF. It was an outstanding plane which could be flown even by mediocre pilots very well and successfully.

Schlageter squadron.

Great plane. Thanks for the marvelouse job!

Has someone the FW-187 Falke as WIP? Much faster and much more agile than the Bf-110 it could have been the game changer in the Battle of Britain. Some planes were built. (Less than 10) A fistfull was used in Norway and the Luftwaffe crews preferred the Falke to the Bf-110. Göring was not amused, he preferred the Messerschmitt and ordered to phase out the Falke. The planes were then used in a "private" squadron of the Focke-Wulf company to defend the Focke-Wulf plant.

I love the Falke. Its a real game changer for Battle of Britain.

Falke is hunting successfully.

It difficult to see, wheter it is a Atlas Cheetah D, a Dassault Mirage 5 CODM, or a Kfir TC-2. The small antenna under the double seater cockpit indicates Kfir TC-2 or Cheetah D. Because i cant see an air refuel tube i guess it is the Kfir TC-2.

The last one is made by me for the updated Kuril Islands terrain. This terrain is work in progress. I hope that i can finish it this year.

It's released now. Written in german language about the combat airplanes of the East German Air Force, by a man, who served out his time there.

Perhaps Cheetah.

Nice. It is the widely used version BTR-60PB. The basic version BTR-60P had had no turret. Here a part of an east german military movie, which shows BTR-60PB in normal military use. Its from 1976, the soundtrack is typical 70th annoyingly.

It will be an eye candy!

I'm glad, that you enjoyed my "Tyko". The book "Kampfflugzeuge der NVA" is more detailed. You will find some new, up today tot published photos in it. For example the interception of a helicopter by a MiG-29. Such trainings were standard for east german fighter pilots from begin of MiG-21 use, till the end in 1989. You will also find a lot of informations about the development of the single types of fighter and fighterbomber planes. Hope you enjoy my book too.

I love it!!!!

Could you give us a BTR-82A, please? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BTR-80#/media/File:Interpolitex_2011_(402-41).jpg

Yes, so it is. Its the X-31, very nice bird. Its a pity, that it never entered the troop service. Simple, easy, high agile and resonabled priced, it could have been perfect for Air Forces of smaller countries, like Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, Danmark and, and, and.

Das Buch ist erschienen. Ich habe heute die Belegexemplare erhalten.
