Hartmann is a really good subject.
All the BS about this aces score vs this other guy's is kinda confusing. But, one has to think a really good sniping pilot in a B&Z a/c like Hartmann, would certainly have had a "target rich" environment in the east.
Is there a study of his kills? Just wondering did he seriously pick and choose the "noobs" or did he dive into any threatening Russki formation with serious bad intent?

Gregs airplanes on YT did a decent vid on his kill score just recently. At it basic it was sorties v kills and Hartmann was in the middle of most high scoring aces, about one every 4.5 flights whereas there was plenty with a better kill v sortie ratio so it doesn't seem outlandish in any way.
Plenty of factors to go into it of course, never seriously wounded, not taken off the flight line to train other pilots like the American vets where, fighting in the East etc. Decent channel if you haven't already stumbled on it Nixer, mainly aircraft engineering, engines, turbo and supercharging and fuel types. The dude knows his stuff.

There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

A lot of over spray, on the fingers. Looking good.

Underneath she didn't end up too bad on top requires basically all of the work. Red means bad. The prop, average, i'll try and use it because i don't want to fork any money for an aftermarket job (and because i'm cheap) The spinner base is all outta wack and by the looks of it the spinner is just too large for the nose. Annoying. Had to scrape and sand away the engine cover in a few areas to get it to fit, both sides had uneven large gaps off the sprue. Surprisingly the gun bulges fit fairly neatly, the other side is slightly off but with some pressure they will work. Yuk, all of this. Luckily... my weekend has now gone from a fun bbq and drinks lunch and dinner with a few people over to CANCEL IT ALL!!! for a couple of weekends to accommodate for one guy who is currently working weekends. Thanks RYAN. So i can do some work on the above instead, as well as mow the lawn. Yay?

Question: why the don't the pieces fit properly?
How old are the molds? Modern molds designed with CAD/CAM should be a perfect fit.
I just pulled out an unfinished Ki-84 and can understand what you say about 1/48 models. Ajay. they are small.
