Battleship camo
Is yours operating from carriers? (or do we need to wait until 12:00 before we should start pulling the truth out from you?)

skwinty 22nd Aug 2011 08:03

Still practicing. I still have one more old style to come.:8

ETA: Not carrier based AFAIK, what you seeing is a fixed tail wheel and not a tail hook.

The camo is just to cause an illusion.:\

Morning all. :)

An obvious question - was it armed?

Hi Skwinty, While appreciateing the intention and reason, the distortion of the image doesn't lend itself to a "silhouette" challenge!

(I've had more than my fair share of that cr** above too so you're in good company :()

Well, I have converted it to a silhouette, but it doesnt help.

skwinty 22nd Aug 2011 08:15

The aircraft saw service as a trainer and as a fighter. It is French.

It was still used as a trainer after the war by a few countries.

The silhouette is accurate, only the fill is different.

Bloch MB 700?
On second thought yours doesn't look like a radial...

skwinty 22nd Aug 2011 08:17

No, but BMW make an oiler with the same number.:)

Ridge Runner 22nd Aug 2011 08:19

Its a Dewoitine, isn't it?

Lightning Mate 22nd Aug 2011 08:20

Maybe the Morane Saulnier MS406

skwinty 22nd Aug 2011 08:23

Dewoitine, but which one.:)

Lightning Mate 22nd Aug 2011 08:24

The D.520 maybe.

skwinty 22nd Aug 2011 08:26

That's it.

I will post the original later.:ok:

I must bid you farewell now as I prepare for my rendition of Dustin Hoffman in Marathon Man... Is it saaafe..:}

Lightning Mate 22nd Aug 2011 08:28


That's it.

Do you mean the D-520?

skwinty 22nd Aug 2011 08:39

Dewoitine D 520 it is.

Sorry for the confusion.
