Re: Battle of Britain - Air Superiority: Nerd Herd Group Build




Not to be a rivet Nazi, but if I'm not mistaken, the 109s and Heinkels used were post-war Spanish-built aircraft (of necessity), with different engines.  I can't remember if the outward changes were so noticeable on the He-111, but the 109 has a very different profile with its Spanish license-built Merlin engine.  Of course, someone could choose to build that specific aircraft and paint it as it appeared in the movie.  I've seen guys take the Monogram Texan kit and bash it into Zeros and Vals, just as the 1:1 versions used to make the aircraft used in "Tora! Tora! Tora!"


Also, the Ju-87s were scale models, if I remember correctly, with very good special effects photography.
