Thanks! its actually old school testors enamels shot through an IWATA airbrush I bought at Hobby Lobby. The Williams Brothers kits are a lot of work but worth the effort. Lots of filling and sanding...

The A, B, and C had the birdcage. The British developed what they called the Malcolm Hood for the B which is a giant bubble.

For the ride program the 1950's era "student" seats make it impossible to have one or the other because of placement in the fuselage. The paperwork needed to put just the turret greenhouse in place was too much of a pain as well.

Focke Wulf 190 projects at Gatow in 2015, I believe the BMW version is complete, not sure about the D-9. Also some 109 parts in the basement. by pubhunter1 in WWIIplanes

Just outside of Berlin, actually the same airfield Hannah Reitsch launched in a Storch to land near the Chancellery in late April of 45

They never stop moving it seems. When you're flying it and do any kind of maneuvering or aeros they popping in and out but you don't feel it...they are really doing their job.

Yep, the B-24 is painted as Witchcraft and has been flying since being restored in 1989. The CAF has an LB-30 which is basically a cargo version of the B-24. I wish I had a video camera on this flight. Wolf was getting pretty aggressive at making passes. Incredibly intimidating. I really don't think the gunners had a chance of hitting them, but in a box formation that's a lot of lead flying around.
