2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 19, 2015 2. Administrators Posted June 19, 2015 Thought not Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No extra clues yet please swep, I've seen that colour scheme somewhere before, just need to remember where. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Sweper Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Ok, it is pretty quite in here. I gonna show a little bit more. Quote
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted June 19, 2015 1. DDz Quorum Posted June 19, 2015 Ki-43... though could also be a Ki-61... however the colour and hint of a modern UHF aerial would indicate a restoration/replica and I know only Oscars falls into that category. Quote
BluBear Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 I'm thinking Japanese, based on the colour-scheme however that profile does not match either the 43 or 61... Quote
DD_Bongodriver Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Ki-27 of the 64th sentai with 3 Russian kills? Quote
Sweper Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 The paint scheme is Nippon, alright. But, wrong aircraft model - if it were Japanese. Quote
DD_Bongodriver Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Ki-51 or more to the point one of these awful replicas http://www.thetexasairmuseum.org/aircraft/flyingaircraft/KI-51/ Quote
BluBear Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 Rudder profile doesn't match and the tail is too high set for a 51 methinks. I don't think it is a genuine Jap aeroplane, i'm now thinking something modified for a film perhaps? Quote
BluBear Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 Fairchild Funk M62C F-23B, Mitsubishi KI-51 Replica? Quote
DD_Bongodriver Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Replicas, I edited my previous post to include the link, though they use the term replica very loosely and I have no idea what the base aircraft they have used is. Quote
BluBear Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 You got it bongo, I believe it is a Funk F-23 which i understand was a crop duster or something before being funked up to loosely resemble a Ki-51. Hideous! It's certainly a new one on me! Sweper can you confirm? Quote
Sweper Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I confirm mate Actually found this photo on a swedish fb-site (where I´m a member) "Flygplansfotograferna" where one of the members did see it live and took a photo of it (yes I stole it from there). So I investigated a bit more and found the very same site as Bongo did. Quote
BluBear Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 Well it was a tricky one mate, and another fugly arsed aeroplane! Over to you bongo Quote
DD_Arthur Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Wait a minute.....this is aircraft A pretending to be aircraft B? Thats...thats...eh? Quote
DD_Bongodriver Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I think this one is yours Blubear, you actually mentioned the funky funk thing which is technically more correct. Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 22, 2015 2. Administrators Posted June 22, 2015 Cessna P-12E for sure 1 Quote
