Wehrmacht tankers The official stamp tank units has inscription Waffen SS. Upon this official acknowledgement of an accessory of SS tank units to Waffen SS. My example - Michael Wittmann and Willi Hein. They have SS uniform and tank uniform. I know that in cap of Waffen SS tanker there was the skull and Wehrmacht's tanker had the "circle". And more. Buttonholes (on collar) - runes on the right and sign on the left. Different Epaulets. Signs Waffen SS always embroidered with threads. I did not see metal fleeces and skulls in buttonholes (on collar). The black "working" uniform at tankers was for battle. The usual uniform of the simple (Wehrmacht) tankers was as at military men of Wehrmacht but with differed epaulets and signs. Tankers of Waffen SS have "working" tank's uniform and SS uniform. German military have tank units in Waffen SS and in Wehrmacht....

Nose art painted by Sgt Frank Stevens 100th Bomb Group (Heavy) Thorpe Abbotts, England MASON AND DIXON B-17G 42-31412 351st Squadron This was a long-serving Fort which was named after two 100BG officers -- pilot Floyd Mason and navigator William Dishion. The racy semi-nude painted by Stevens made clever use of the scripted titling to avoid censorship by higher authorities. The plane was severely damaged while on a shuttle mission from England to Russia to Italy in September 1944. A flak shell sliced through the wing and narrowly missed a fuel tank. Name-sake Capt Mason had been shot down in another aircraft in late July 1944 but "Mason and Dixon" returned to fly many more combat missions well into 1945.

Diciamo che vari corpi speciali hanno cercato in passato di ricavarne qualcosa, ma con esiti non del tutto soddisfacenti!

Scusate per la dimensione della foto postata (Volutamente grande) per far apprezzare al meglio i vari dettagli!

Anche questa trovata Krukka è molto "Singolare" Il Fucile che sparava dietro l'angolo!

infatti non l'ho presa in considerazione in quanto è un semplice (Anche se raccapricciante) mezzo anfibio! Panzerfahre aus Pz IV einbau: Developed in early 1941 by the firms of Klöckner Humboldt Deutz AG, Werk Magirus, Bosanwerft Maybach Zahnradfabik Friedrichshaften, Krupp Gruson and Kässbohrer. The Panzerfahre (Pz.F) was intended to replace the Landwasserschleper (LWS) as a vehicle capable of supply and combat operations on the land and in the water. The first of two units was delivered in May 1942. The overall shape of the vehicle was that of a large, lightly armored, tracked boat, with a propeller located aft, and the running gear from a modified Panzerkampwagen IV. It was of riveted construction and powered by a Maybach HL 120 engine. The Pz. F had an armored protection of 11-13mm plate and it could tow an amphibious trailer, or work in tandem with another Pz. F and a floating platform to ferry loads up to 24 tons. The design never went into production, as the combat weight of tanks increased drastically with the introduction of the Tiger 1, making the Pz. F obsolete.

:scratch: Abbastanza strano, a meno che la doppia colorazione (Una originaria ed una postuma) abbia inciso sull'effettivo incollaggio delle parti! Oppure la colla è tarocca! :asd:

WOW Fantastico quello sull'Hornet! Nose art painted by Cpl Dick Ebbeson 380th Bomb Group Fenton, Australia & New Guinea BEAUTIFUL BEAST B-24J-20-CO 42-73167 528th Bomb Squadron This B24 flew its first combat mission on 10th December 1943 to Balikpapan. It completed a total of 41 missions before being damaged in a taxi accident and scrapped at Darwin, Australia, in August 1944. The nose art painted by Dick Ebbeson is typical of several nudes he completed on the group's B24s. The beautifully drawn fine outline of the figure is given its form by the use of simple shadow and the whole image is given even greater visual impact by placing a geometric block of solid colour behind. In this case, a rectangle but often a circle was used, as in "Heavenly Body" or "Becomin' Back". The use of such a device was frequently used by many other artists, especially on natural metal aircraft, to ensure an enhanced differentiation between the pale flesh colours and the natural metal silvery surface upon which it was painted. Note how much stronger the torso of the figure is compared to the extended leg. Ebbeson is also believed to have been an accomplished calligrapher and developed a distinctive style for his lettering on many of the B24s he painted.

Army Panzer, driver, 1943-44 The black Einheitsfeldmutze or ‘ski-cap’ generally replaced the black sidecap during 1943, although both continued to be seen side by side until the end of the war. It bears the normal Army insignia. The reed-green working denims were very widely worn by tank crews instead of, or over, the black uniform; often the breast eagle, Panzer collar patches, and/or shoulder-straps were taken from the black uniform and added to the denims.

Wow Gobbo, ma è stupendo Nose art painted by Cpl Al G Merkling 20th Combat Mapping Squadron Nadzab, New Guinea & Okinawa The WANGO WANGO BIRD B-24 F-7A 42-64048 20th Combat Mapping Squadron Clearly a product of Al Merkling's vivid imagination, this camera-equipped F-7A version of the B24 was assigned to 1Lt Roy Hunt and flew overseas from Hunter Field, GA, on 10th February 1944. The aircraft is believed to have flown its first mission on 6th May to Hollandia but poor weather prevented any photos being brought back. So far only three other missons have been established and further information is sought.

Bellissimo, ma è stato postato già tre volte! Nose art painted by Sgt Johnnie White 96th Bomb Group Snetterton Heath, England BOOTS IV B-17F 42-37850 96th Bomb Group 337th Bomb Squadron Whether the original "Boots" was an aircraft or a person is not yet known but 96BG had at least three B17s which sported this title. "Boots II" was the first known and was originally assigned to 381BG where it was first called "Messie Bessie" and later "Carol Jane". This latter title was embellished with a raunchy half nude torso painted by an unknown artist. It also carried a smaller emblem featuring cowboy boots in a circle positioned below the pilot's windows. This may have been the source of White's later nose art painting. Transferred into 96BG on 6th July '43, this B17F crashed on take off on 5th January 1944. "Boots III" (42-30227) arrived in 96BG in mid June '43 and seems to have also carried the title "Wabbit Twacks". The latter name is mentioned in a news article relating to the raid on LeBourget airfield in France on 10th July 1943. On that occasion, it lost an engine and in the sustained fighter attacks the crew claimed nine enemy aircraft shot down or damaged. The B17 was transferred to 401BG in mid December of the same year. "Boots IV" reached Snetterton in early October 1943 and Johnnie White painted an enlarged motif displaying the cowboy boots and (curiously) a red and white striped top hat. Mission symbols were added in a circle around the outer rim of the design. More than 22 missions were completed and at least five of these sustained battle damage, the last so far recorded being from Berlin flak on 24th May '44. At some time after this date, "Boots IV" was transferred out of 96BG and sent to the Mediterranean area. No record has been found of combat flying with any of the 15AF's 5th Bomb Wing units and it is assumed that the veteran Fort was taken off operations and used as a liaison plane. In whatever role it was, "Boots IV" outlasted the war by many months and did not return to the USA until January 1947.

Nose art painted by Jack Gaffney 91st Bomb Group Bassingbourn, England BAD EGG B-17F-10-BO 41-24484 401st Bomb Squadron One of the 91BG's original complement, assigned with just 69 hours logged, it had been ear-marked for the RAF and carried the early British camouflage scheme of dark green patches over olive drab. It flew un-named until returning from Lorient on 30th December 1942 with serious battle damage. Crew chief M/Sgt Pierce asked Jack Gaffney to paint the Donald Duck nose art on the port side. "Bad Egg" flew as lead ship on numerous occasions and its mission tally was embellished with a series of red and blue stars to denote this role. During its year of combat, the plane completed 43 missions, had 15 engine changes and had suffered hits in all main fuel tanks as well as having had its back almost broken by 20mm cannon shells.

Più che altro mi interessava avere altre info in merito allo sgorbio in questione, ma penso sia improbabile Locomotiva Blindata "Vlasta"

Minenraumpanzer III / Minenraumgerat mit PzKpfw Antrieb. One of the most interesting prototypes based Panzer III's chassis was Minenraumpanzer III - mine clearing/mine destroyer tank. This was another extremely weird vehicle developed by Krupp. The idea was simply to run all over the mines with a reinforced kit of tracks, the high clearance of the hull minimizate the blast to the crew compartement. It proved to be unsuccessful and never entered production.

Nose art painted by Annette 'Toni' Robin 380th Bomb Group Australia & New Guinea BIG (ASS) BIRD 2 B24D-155-CO 42-72801 531st Squadron Toni Robin's second version of the this artwork closely resembled her first rendition but with an added circle background and bolder, simpler lettering. This aircraft's first combat mission was flown to Tjepoe, Java, on 17th November 1943. It is known to have completed at least 28 missions and its gunners claimed one enemy fighter shot down. While flying a secret mission to drop saboteurs into Japanese-held western New Guinea on 19th March 1944, "Big (Ass) Bird II" hit a mountain killing all ten members of Lt Otto Martens' crew.
