Maybe I'll have to add a flaming element to the back of one of the engines though. Seems they burst into flames on a regular basis.
Those flying desks in the Reich Air Ministry also expected it to be used for dive bombing. Mike - do you still have those skins?

I've got a good memory and have an entire thread posted on the model build and skinning of the squardon. http://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3793741/1Yes Mogggy, I'll see it I can get into the ftp. It gets a bit wonky for me at times.

Mogggs look in your folder. I managed to get in for a bit. The day and night versions are there as well as a Henshel anti-shipping guided missile carrier. Ray, Only the first prototype He 177 A-0 had barrel type dive brakes (like a Ju-88 carried) installed and only tested in shallow dive then the brakes were abandoned. The RLM was easily convinced that the airframe was not able to withstand any type of steep dive, and, AAA made using a dive bomber a very live ending experience. The glazing, shape, and instrument panels are not the same on both machines. I would not like to see the 111 cockpit grafted on. Perhaps it could be used as a starting point for the pilot seat and peddles but, the instruments are totally different. Also, the extreme forward position of the cockpit meant no wing view for the pilot. The glazing on the Ar-234B is closer but only the nose itself., not the entire windscreen. jpg

Brill - thanks Mike. Ray is best to get those as they are probably the latest version of the model we have. I found this view of the cockpit way back we first started on the model: Do I see some pix of new Dunkirk skins in the folder as well?
