Hi Andy!

This is a Tupolev Tu-2 "Paravan". The strange design of the nose was meant to cut the cables of Balloons.

Hi Andy!

It's just that I found a nice and complete book on sale about the Tu-2 not long ago... now I just have to find a nice kit in 1/48 that would justify my purchase! :-)

Here'e the next one:



This is an original photo a german friend found for me. I didn't made the researches to identify the plane yet so I though you guys could do the job for me!

That means all we gotta do is have someone post an answer and others copy it to make it look right, and you will anounce one of us the winner since you will figure we can't all be wrong, since you have no clue, right?



Hi Arnold!

Not quite... If someone gives me an answer, I will "google" it to see if it matches the resulting pictures... :-) If yes... Bingo!

Hi Jean-Luc

That's a Heinkel He 46 isn't it?

All the best
