X12A's 'The Wrong Trousers, Gromit'

Next, if Legion Condor had been operating Gladiators instead of Heinkel HE 51B’s, this would be fairly similar to the one flown by Eduard Neumann whilst part of 3.J/88 in Spain around late 1937 early 1938, prior to him taking part in the Battle of Britain and subsequently commanding 1/JG27 in Africa.

Well, if the Luftwaffe operated Mk Vb’s down through Greece and out to Crete in 1941, this one would look fairly similar to an aircraft operated by 5/JG77 out of Maleme Airfield in May of that year.

Neat work, John. That backdrop really works.

Thanks Paul.

So, if the Luftwaffe flew Spitfire Mk. Vc Trop floatplane’s instead of the Arada Ar. 196 A-3 out of Suda Bay in Crete during 1943, this is how 7R + CK operated by 2 Staffel/Seeaufklarungsgruppe 125 may have looked.

Next in the theme! If the Luftwaffe had Mk IX Spitfires on the Eastern Front, this is how one may have looked if operated by 6 Staffel, II Gruppen, JG 54 (Grunherz).

If Oberleutnant Walter Horten had been flying Mk1a Spitfire, this would not look too dissimilar to the BF 109 he belly-landed on the beach near Wissant, Northern France, on 5th December 1940 whilst he was the Adjutant of JG 26.

Next, if Eduard Neumann had been flying a Mk IA Spitfire instead of a Bf 109E-1 as part of 8/JG 26 over Poland in 1939, this is how it may have looked.

They're wrong, but they look so right

Thanks Nigel, clearly not everyone's cup of tea though - 30 views on the main page and not 1 comment Good job I lke doing them!

Yes, not everyone's cut of tea, but I admire your imagination, and clearly you are having fun!
And yours are all well-built and well-finished models. If we can tolerate Luft '46, why not this?
Keep it up!

Thanks David - and yes I am, each to their own! sadly there are plenty more where these came from.

If the Condor Legion had Mk 1 Hurricanes rather than the Heinkel HE 112 during the Spanish Civil War, this would be a fair representation of the one flown by Hauptman Harro Harder in 1938 whilst with 2.J/88.

That's a good looker.
