The Sukhoi 25 Frogfoot came from a 1968 specification for a dedicated subsonic ground attack aircraft aka shturmovik to provide close air support as the current generation of attack jets were based on interceptors and not adequate for the [...]

Amodel's Dornier Do26

by Paul Higgins on September 2, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Airfix's Dornier Do17Z-2

by Paul Higgins on September 2, 2024 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Hi, my recent build of this kit was just something to do that wasn't too taxing, and I chose to leave the bomb bay closed off and the flaps in neutral. Easily the best kit in 1/72 scale, this builds up into a very attractive kit and it has [...]

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 1, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

I chose a series of three JV44 support aircraft that accompanied the Me 262 jets during the pattern approach when they were most vulnerable to Allied aircraft attacks. The Focke Wulf 190Ds were painted with striking red and white stripes [...]
