Werdna Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Hi all This is Hasegawa's 1/48 Fw190A-4, finished in the markings of Oblt. Otto Stammberger's 'Weiss 9' of 4/JG26 in 1943. Stammberger was shot down in this aircraft on 13th May 43, during a dogfight with Spitfires of 331 (Norwegian) sqdn RAF over St Omer. He baled out with a damaged parachute, which did not fully open, so he hit the ground pretty hard and spent the next 10 days in a coma. He did return to combat duty, but after a total of seven victories he ended the war in various staff positions, He became manager of a large department store in Germany after the war, passing away in 2001 aged 81. Painted with various Vallejo and Mig mixes. As always, comments welcome..

Boman Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Nice! But I wonder if it should be 331(N) RAF squadron and not RNZAF? RNZAF squadrons where in the 4xx-series, but 331sq was a RNoAF unit ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNZAF squadrons where in the 4xx-series, but 331sq was a RNoAF unit ? Yes, I think you are correct. I lifted the squadron info from the Kracker Luftwaffe archive, but it looks like 331 was indeed Norwegian and not RNZAF. I've updated the post to reflect that - thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
