FD scale aircrafts 10 - The second generation

Yike! Avalanche of awesomeness!

Super-excellent additions guys. That series of Fiats is awesome and its nice to see the Tucanos too and the Kitsuka is a nice addition too.

After the production of the Heinkel He-112B stopped in 1939, the Hungarian government planned to switch their production line to build the W.M.23 Ezüst Nyíl (Silver Arrow). strongly influenced by the He-112B, it had wooden wings and a 1000hp class Mistral-Major radial.

Alhtough it may seem that it was inferior to the He-112B, it proved to be faster than it. Nevertheless the progress was very slow and only one prototype was built. It was eventually cancelled in 1942.



Many thanks to eswube for his help on this drawing.

I did not knew about this before.

Me neither! These look great though (here and the AU-thread)

Great work on J9Y.

Unfortunately, with extremely deep regret I have to say that Naixoterk didn't made his lessons properly.
DB605-equipped WM.23 was just a project. Actual aircraft had radial engine (licence-produced GR14).

So it should go into the never built thread right?

Good day to all!

Naixoterk, very impressive profiles.
Couldn't you tell, where did you find the length for the BR.20A and BR.20L?

Also I have some doubts about Imperialist's Bf 108A. It's length = 185 pixels, what means (30 meters = 660 pixels) 185 * 30 / 660 = 8,41 m.

But according, for example, to Hitchcock T.H. Taifun. Monogram Close-up #5 1979, ISBN 0-914144-05-7, p.32, the total legth is 8,06 m only, so the length of the image should be just 177 pixels.

Couldn't you tell your source, please?

Actually I had used Wikipedia to get the dimensions @ 8.3m (183.37 pixels) for the Taifun B-variant (granted its not the best source...) and ironically I had just found a copy of that book earlier today before your post, so I need to sift through it. In addition I found some documents stating this:

So granted, I do need to redo the A-variant down to 8.06 meters. I'll do so when I have a little more time, and I'll add in a postwar aircraft in addition to some more camo-schemes. Thank you for pointing out the discrepancy burudnuk!
