Koolhoven is 50% done.

The model is based on the old hi-res Hurricane. Believe it or not I found a Russian Hurricane with a very similar camo scheme so the conversion shouldn't take too long.

I might be able to adapt it to the MB151/152 also. Right now, that one has a bare metal skin.

Hi Ray.

Have you given any thought about producing some more Ground target aircraft? During the Battle of France, a hell of a lot of aircraft were destroyed on the ground. wink

Since ground targets don't have to be TOO accurate, we could reskin a few of the existing ones.

I suppose the 190 could be tweaked into an MB152 or the Koolhoven 58.

There is a Hurricane TMOD already. It would just need to get tweaked by adding a two bladed prop.

There's a few others, like the P47, Ki-43 and Ki-44 that could also be adapted.

I have twenty static plane types in the new 128 Dunkirk Tmod list, and accounting for the Tmod/Tmog system that's 40 models. i.e Tmod82 is the Spitfire and Tmog82 is the 109E.

I've been knocking these together from the demo models or at a pinch for twin engine jobs(T90 Bre693/Bf110) and biplanes (T95 Gladiator/He51A) from the complete distance model.

Bit of a layout job ahead!

What about the Hs 123? II.(Schlacht)LG 2 was based with 45 Henschels in Cambrai and was busy with bombing the Dunkirk pocket.
We´ve got a Hs 123 from this unit - btw Adolph Galland´s former unit - on SteveT´s/Andy´s page:

I like the thinking! I have the Hs123 models already loaded in the 128 "PlanesDunkirk" folder along with many other possibilities. I will see if I can squeeze it into the action.

Love the EAW biplanes!

Squeezed the Hs123 into Day 2, which means it can encounter the D510 ....

And ....









Sorted the basic Hs123 loadouts, but I see that it could also be fitted with a twin canon pack "in the field". I wonder if this was available in 1940 or whether it was a later Eastern Front innovation ???
