The concept is two power units, so two nacelles, an engine either end of the aircraft etc. I think we can classify a contraprop as one propeller unit, so if you could find an aircraft from the timeframe with two contraprops in individual nacelles (not that I can think of any off the top of my head), then that would be eligable 15 hours ago, arfa1983 said: Is a Me410 in Soviet markings an Axis Twin or a Allied Twin?

GB! Its rules say nothing of the origins of the plane, but "Eligible subjects would be aircraft used operationally by Germany, Italy, Japan, Finland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and Croatia". I can't see the Soviet Union mentioned in that list! On the other hand, e.g. a Luftwaffe Potez 63 or an Ilmavoimat Pe-2 would both be welcome!

81-er Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Thanks V-P. I probably should have done better with my explanation, I meant that the Me 410 was an Axis aircraft, rather than suggesting it would be ok to build one with red stars in the Axis GB. However, as the key word is operationally, I think I should just scrap my previous answer and say "If you can prove it was used operationally in the markings you intend to model within the timeframe, then it's welcome". So @arfa1983, if you've got evidence the Soviets used it in operations rather than just in testing, it'll be eligible. Apologies for any confusion!

Roland Pulfrew Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Sign me up. I only have one Luftwaffe twin in the stash, a Ta-154 Moskito (well only one if I exclude the He-219 that's sat on the shelf of doom), and I've been looking for a reason to build it for some time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
