There are people among us with sociopathic tendencies, lacking empathy and understanding for the value of creation, they never created anything. Perhaps, they need to build something and then destroy it by themselves in order to get it.

Very true, it is in our arrogant nature,,to ignore the important elements in our lives until we loose them. That applies to everything, nature, basic values and heritage. Kinda unsettling to think about it.

Nice progress Carl, the looks like a pig of a model. Good save on the bottom . I would probably lost it Cheers M.

How could I missed out? I know nothing about rigging and wallpaper decorations, but this looks very realistic. Hats off to you Gas. Really nice! Cheers Martin

Yeah, there is no universal answer. The problem is that if there is no written evidence it's a lost cause. All the witnesses from the past are gone. We can perhaps just stick with usual standards or go wild. I guess it is in the eyes of the beholder. I am easy.

Kurt Bühlingen served with the Luftwaffe from 1936 until early 1945. At first he joined the Luftwaffe as a mechanic, but underwent flying training in 1938 and 1939. He was placed with Jagdgeschwader 2 in July 1940 as pilot with the rank of Unteroffizier. In September 1940 he scored his first enemy kill. In December 1942 he claimed his 40th victory while serving with II. / Jagdgeschwader 2 in Tunisia, North Africa. In March 1943 he returned to Europe. A year later he had scored 96 kills and commanded II. / Jagdgeschwader 2 with the rank of Major. Later he led the Jagdgeschwader 2 during fighting on the Eastern Front. As Kommodore of Jagdgeschwader 2, due to an engine failure, he was forced to land in enemy territory in early 1945 and was taken POW by the Soviets. He stayed in imprisonment until 1950. During his career he shot down 112 enemy planes in over 700 operational flights. He was shot down three times.

There is stencil of a walkway visible on the wing, it looks factory to me. I would say standard colours for 1944. ignore the yellow chin Edit: it is possible , but not backed up by evidence

I would stick with standard 74/75/76 until proven otherwise .

need to go there one day

getting there

Yes I know it belongs there, I was just stunned by the level of detail you are after Jeroen. this one fits

Possibility of 5 megaton explosion, pitch dark, dosimeter going off charts ? We owe them everything,

Saw it few days ago, brilliant approach to the old book.

Beautiful vignette. Very tasteful weathering indeed. Bravo! Cheers Martin

Third episode is out. Try to imagine the same situation now. And the " no way , I am going home" attitude.
