3D MODELING: Messerschmitt Bf109 G6/G8 by Wojciech Nieweglowski. Part 1 - v. G6/G8/G14

First part of gallery is dedicated to Bf109 version G6/G8/G14. Author changed the concept of final effect during his work. For this reason, you can see the evolutionary changes between the Bf109 versions made during the author's work. In the other parts of the gallery you will be able to see similar changes, while working on the next versions of the aircraft and to a few final amazing results.

3D MODELING: Henshel Hs129 B-3, Bordkanone BK 75 mm cannon by Wojciech Nieweglowski. Part 1

I would like to be very pleased to inform all of you, that in th Luftwaffe Lovers we will start publishing new series devoted to 3D MODELING by Wojciech Nieweglowski.

Wojciech Niewegłowski - 53 years old, former professional firefighter, now retired dealing with his passions. One of them is 3D MODELING , which has been devoted to about 12 years. This is a continuation of the passion of building paper models in youth. For Wojciech, 3D MODELING is also additional opportunity to broaden his knowledge of WWII aircraft's and combat vehicles, which has been his passion for decades.

As first, we decide present Henshel Hs129 B-3 with Bordkanone BK 75 mm cannon.
post include just couple of pictures of stunning Wojciech work, rest you can find HERE

Postwar use

After World War 2, numbers of ex-Luftwaffe MG 151/20 cannon were removed from inventory and from scrapped aircraft and used by various nations in their own aircraft. The French Air Force and French Army aviation arm (ALAT) utilized MG 151/20 cannon as both fixed and flexible armament in various aircraft, including helicopters. The FAF and ALAT jointly developed a rubber-insulated flexible mount for the MG 151/20 for use as a door gun, which was later used in combat in Algeria aboard several FAF/ALAT H-21C assault transport helicopters and on Sikorsky HSS-1 Pirate gunship helicopters. French Matra MG 151 20mm cannons were used by Portugal and Rhodesia(21) fitted to their Alouette III helicopters, while Denel designed its own variant for the South African Air Force.(22)

Story of Focke-Wulf Fw200 Condor. Part 1. German Dzib -Compiler-

The Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor, also known as Kurier to the Allies (1) was a German all-metal four-engined monoplane originally developed by Focke-Wulf as a long-range airliner. A Japanese request for a long-range maritime patrol aircraft led to military versions that saw service with the Luftwaffe as long-range reconnaissance and anti-shipping/maritime patrol bomber aircraft.

The Luftwaffe also made extensive use of the Fw 200 as a transport. It achieved success as a commerce raider before the advent of long-range RAF Coastal Command aircraft and CAM ships eliminated its threat(2).

Luftwaffe Ace Pilot: Hermann Graf

"German Luftwaffe members Erich Hartmann, Adolf Galland and Johannes Steinhoff achieved a measure of immortality for their flying and fighting prowess during World War II. A name missing from many histories of that conflict, however, is Hermann Graf — with 212 confirmed victories, one of the most decorated aces in the Luftwaffe.

Born on October 12, 1912, in Engen im Hegau, Germany, Hermann was the youngest of three sons. Aviation fascinated him from his youth; he was only 12 when he made his first glider flight. While still in school, Graf earned his ‘A,’ ‘B’ and ‘C’ glider certificates. According to Christer Bergström, author of Graf & Grislawski: A Pair of Aces, young Graf first worked as a locksmith apprentice, then later as a public assistance clerk apprentice. Many accounts incorrectly report he apprenticed as a blacksmith, emulating his father.
