Seems like the remains of a very late-war Bf-109. Note the absence of white edges around the Balkenkreuz and the yellow wingtip. This last item would indicate that the aircraft served on the Eastern Front when or before it was shot down.

Korsakov, thanks for the trouble, but I was actually looking for FFA2b in particular, and I hoped that a wider search would yield better results. Bohme's aircraft has been the only one I've been able to find myself.

6b indeed went to the Ottomans.

Hi guys, I'm looking for a site where I can find the composition of WWI German FeldfliegerAbteilungen, particularly the Bavarian ones.

I'm hoping to find evidence of the use of Fokker Eindeckers in the Bavarian FFA's and see if a picture exists.

Long story short: If you want a game that works, and has decent support, and doesn't cost too much, stay away from the big companies. Alternatively, go back to your dream.

Question: what is that lever on the trigger guard for?

Heh, reminds me of the days where the phrase "IT'S A GUNDAM!!!" blasted out of the telly every Saturday morning.

They don't make them like this anymore... a shame, really.

6/10, because I don't mind listening to a bit of soul every now and then, but it's a bit too slow for my taste.

And now, here's The Doors, with Riders on the Storm!

Also, Rome was an awesome series, really should watch it again.

6/10, because it brings back some memories.

Now here's one that I haven't listened to in a while:

Then you haven't even considered the import fees.

I had to pay an extra 35 euros for my Roland C.II model kit. 23 euros import tax (21% tax rate) and 12 euros "customs formalities". Whatever those are, I don't know. But it's a bloody rip-off.

Does it have something to do with Operation Bagration? Or might it be Cherkassy?

@Korsakov: Wasn't Kuuterselka scrapped?

Well, the Roland's fuselage was constructed by forming strips of plywood over a wooden buck, with a canvas covering. Any framework would be hidden. Earlier pictures of this aircraft don't show any sort of line on the fuselage, so there must have been 2 colours.

If you look at the third paint scheme, that's one with a similar paintjob, but on the archive photo, the brown/green looks darker.

Anyway, thanks for your effort.

Say, Josh, I was wondering if you could help me with a camouflage pattern I've been struggling with.

http://www.wingnutwings.com/ww/productdetail?productid=3109&cat=1

Its the top row, fourth picture.

It's camouflaged in two colours, pale blue on the underside of the fuselage, and brownish or olive green glaze on the top, with the bottom wings and inner sections of the top wings doped white.

I'd like to know if the outer top wing parts would be glazed brown or green, or left pale blue.

The aircraft was build in 2014. The ATR-72 has a love/hate reputation. There are airlines who absolutely love the plane but some claim it unsafe. The grand majority of accidents however, happen with airlines who have very questionable reputation, like Transasia.

However, this is the second ATR-72 who has had an engine-flameout in 1 year in Transasia.

2 in one year? Sounds like sloppy maintenance.
