On page 21 of this book, a photo of a Christensen's W. 29 is shown and the caption reads as follows; This W. 29 appears to be 2512 from what can be discerned of the Marine Number. Christensen is in the cockpit and it bears his personal insignia and early production tail plane. The observer has a Parabellum 14/17 light machine gun with an Oigee telescopic sight mounted in the production style cockpit with gun ring. https://www.amazon.com/Hansa-Brandenburg-Aircraft-WWI-Monoplane-Seaplanes/dp/1935881337/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=centennial+perspective+on+great+war+airplane+hansa+brandenburg&qid=1625759168&s=books&sr=1-2&asin=1935881337&revisionId=&format=4&depth=1 Furthermore, on page 55, there is a close up photo of the nose with a caption as follows: Close-up of the nose of an H.M. 1 showing the installation of the synchronised Vickers gun. Note the Cellon panel in the floor of the pilot's cockpit hanging open. Hope this will help. Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums

The Sea Fury did not have a landing light. Here's a description on the external lighting from the Pilot's Notes for Sea Fury 10 & 11. Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums/72157640450673043

#1 and #2 are the carburetor intakes. The bottom of #4 is an access panel for the oil pipe connection. An Airfix 1/48 kit is most recommended. Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums

The wing sweep of the Revell/Monogram Sabre Dog is too much, about 5 degrees steeper than that of the real machine. This is a my friend's photo showing the Airfix wings laid over the Monogram wings. You can see the sweep difference clearly. Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums

The interior surfaces were painted with one coat of zinc chromate primer AN-TT-P-656 and one coat of tinted zinc chromate primer (normally one part of zinc chromate and one part of black). The exterior surfaces were painted with one coat of zinc chromate primer before applying camouflage colors. And this is the specifications of 3-tone camouflage.

Never seen photos of the white top Invaders in Indochina, even in this book. But there are a bunch of photos of the white top Invaders in Algeria as you can see in the following links. http://www.frenchwings.net/algeria/gallery/displayimage.php?album=8&pid=3272#top_display_media http://tenes.info/nostalgie/BVINGTSIX http://aerostories.free.fr/events/algerie/algerie06/index.html Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums

According to this book, Z and E/F used the 3-blade VDM metal propellers, but differed in the diameter. Z: 3.6 m E/F: 3.2 m Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums

These images from the Pilot's Notes for the MR. 2 will be of some help. Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums

Sorry, that's not a UH-34D, but UH-34E, Bu. No. 144655. The E model has a single exhaust pipe. https://www.helis.com/database/model/HUS-1A-UH-34E/ Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums

Many thanks for your inputs guys. As Chris said, the Matchbox kit is a rebox of the Pioneer2/PM kit. I have the Phalanx monography as well as the Lela Presse monography by Peter de Jong from which I posted the head on view of the cannon pod, but a 3-view drawing in this book shows the barrels in the center of the pods. I've never heard of J-42 has installed with a 20 mm and 23 mm on each wing. Both of the above mentioned 2 book describe that the Danish D.XXI carried a pair of 20 mm cannons.

I'm not asking about boresight, but about disalignment of the centers of the gondola and barrel. Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums

I'm currently building a Matchbox Fokker D.XXI to be finished as a Danish version with a pair of 20 mm Madsen cannons. As seen in this photo, the barrel of the left cannon is not in the center of the gondola, but offset to the left (outward), I didn't find any photo of the right gondola. My question is that the right cannon is offset to the right (outward) or to the left (Inward). Any help will be appreciated. Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums

This is the only one with the skis I managed to find. All other LH-34Ds of VX-6 did not wear the skis. Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums

The HEFS was retrofitted in late 1980s, but it was removed probably from 2000s by some reason. GO! NAVY BBSII has a lot of photos of the CH-46 with the HEFS. http://www.gonavy.jp/bbs1/img/7895.jpg http://www.gonavy.jp/bbs1/img/7877.jpg http://www.gonavy.jp/bbs1/img/7965.jpg http://www.gonavy.jp/bbs1/img/8032.jpg http://www.gonavy.jp/bbs1/index.cgi?page:465=v Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums

According to A History of Chinese Aviation Encyclopedia of Aircraft and Aviation in China until 1949 by Lennart Anderson, eight R-10s were delivered to the aviation school at Kuldsha in 1939, but the book does not show any photo of the R-10.

This example seems to have the port wheel well and inside of the cover remained in silver. Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums

They actually carried bombs and rockets at the same time. They normally carried US bombs, but these look like French or British. Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums
