Presumably these were taken a fair distance from established frontlines (I don’t know how far allied ground-attack aircraft would venture). In TYPHOON PILOT by Desmond Scott he suggests that the close air support was kept close to the troops and having difficulties in venturing further afield due to anti-air defences and the low-flying they did. I need to confirm sources, but I have noted that s.SS-Pz.Abt.102 left Tilburg-Breda area in the Netherlands on 11.06.1944 and didn’t arrive in the Normandy (Cauville) area until 04.07.1944. They had to de-train early on northwest of Paris so a lot of distance covered on tracks.

Morning everyone, hope you are all well! With the upcoming Tiger Group Build I’m hoping to get back into the swing of things and have started to have a good look about for information which will hopefully hold my attention long enough for an actual completion... I have a Late Tiger in the stash and have found some great shots of ‘211’ from s.SS-Pz.Abt.102 with a very nice camo pattern and interesting features. I’ve had a look for ‘Panzers Normandie 44 Serie - schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 102 - TIGER de la 102’ without success which claims to have lots of info and images on ‘102’ in Normandy, though I doubt I could afford it if I found it! So I wonder if anyone here has any information and/or further images (or better quality) to the photos I’ve found so far? Thanks in advance! Si

I used to fly my P-47 in that OTU scheme in IL-2 back in the day. Very cool looking 😎 -
Evening all, I’m not a superdetailer but I do like to add little extras or correct obvious errors, that sort of thing. I think I understand what needs to be done to the engine on my P47D-25-RE, removal of the 12 O’clock magneto box, add the wiring, that sort of thing. What I’m struggling to find is a decent photo of the rear of the instrument panel, to see how the wiring was. Presumably some went back into the cockpit to various levers and switches as well as some running forward to the engine, oil pumps etc. Does anyone know of any references you could point me to? I don’t think it can be seen too much, but I’d like to have a go at adding some wiring in a realistic manner, even if I will be the only person that knows it’s there or would even care 😂 Thank you in advance 🙂
