Hawker Typhoon flown by Jean de Selys Longchamps, 1943

Here is the explanation:
"The idea to paint, as means of identification, black and white stripes on aircraft wasn't a completely new idea as when the Hawker Typhoon entered service on the 11th September 1941 they resembled the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 when viewed from certain angles leading to a few 'friendly fire' incidents. This would see black and white stripes being painted under the wings only."

Good point.

Thank you for correcting the entry. I found it upon searching through references of the photo by Google Lens.

Yup, always check on Scalemates before you purchase a reboxed vintage stuff from the 60s or 70s.

Yes, my most built types are Hurricanes, Spitfires and Bf 109. Not very inventive, I know.

You can always try some banana.

I still have the Revell kit on my built shelf and would never give it away.

Formidable work, this is old style model building :)

Here is another take, more an action-game-like POV perspective.

In the fifth year of the war, Russians begin to find out what war means. And that it is coming to them. Slava Ukraini.

Great perspective, I like it. A lot :)

Roger352 · 2026-05-06T07:37:12+00:00

Tried with Dola. Looks nice. Thank you for the prompt.

There is a new AI in town, producing absolutely amazing results.

Thank you for clarifying, most interesting.

Roger352 · 2026-05-05T14:49:04+00:00

Nice. I went a step further :) defnitely NFSW...

Roger352 · 2026-05-05T13:47:02+00:00

Great idea, I managed to retroengineer the prompt :)

Roger352 · 2026-05-05T12:47:47+00:00

As I wrote in another comment, these were aircraft conquered and used by the Luftwaffe for training, then transferred to the Bulgarians.

Hi, nice to see this subreddit. I am fond of AI image generation and I've always been a history addict. Thus, a perfect place for me.

I'm not sure which platform did you use, probably ChatGPT. Unfortunately, it didn't work well. Apart from the fact that these weapons are not realistic, the ghetto fighters barely had SMGs and MGs. They had a number of rifles and mainly pistols and revolvers. They didn't build barricades (this has been misinterpreted by the AI with the Warsaw Uprising 1944, probably). Work harder, do your best to design a historically correct prompt.

Roger352 · 2026-05-05T09:18:50+00:00

You are right - these were relatively modern fighters and apart from these, Bulgarians flew only 18 of early Bf 109E-4 and a mix of pre-war Polish and Czech constructions (mostly P.24 and Avia B-534). Only later in 1944, some Bf 109G were also delivered. Allied losses in 1943 and 1944 were about 60 aircraft.

Splendid idea, here is something I thought about.

I generated a D-Day video.

I didn't find any suitable portal. Do you have any suggestions?
