gaucho_59,
I use Photobucket to post the bigger pics you see, but even photobucket resizes the pics. (but not as thumbnails) There are other photo sharing sites out there that are free to use. If you go with photobucket its pretty simple to use....

Once you created an account, upload the pics you want to use, once that is done, go to view library, hover your mouse over the pic in the top right corner, and then click on "Get Media Link". There are a 4 different ways to share the photo. The one to use for posting here will be the IMG code. Click on the IMG link, (it will copy the link) then you can paste the link into your post.

[huub vink]

Great paints Baernhard! They look absolutely stunning.

Huub

Wow...

Gorgeous plane with lots of possibilities as far as fictitious or historical repaints are concerned...

Can it be said that some planes are more photogenic than others... ?

 

[baernhard]

Thanks for the kind words.
This time some civilian ...

Lovely repaint again Bernard and thanks for the link! There are more scenery gems hidden there!

I fully agree. The Heinkel is very good looking aircraft. My wife has nothing with aircraft, but for this aircraft even she made an exception and said she liked it.

This is a "WoW" again, Bernhard ...

Since it is sporting the 1936 Olympic rings, have you thought of making a tail version with the politically incorrect 'Sw.....a' for those wanting a more historically correct representation of the airplanes of that period ?

Thanks again for your repaints !

Cheers,

Fleurdelys

If someone wants to edit it, feel free to do it.
Please a short PM with email address, you got the PSD-File.

I live in Germany and of course, I distance myself from any symbols
and I wish not be associated with anyone and nothing!

Please understand my position

Greetings
Bernhard

Oups...

Understood and agreed, Bernhard.

I was wondering if you might be from somewhere where it is politically incorrect to do so...

Will look into making it myself when I get some free time from another project !

The swastika on the tail fin from German aircraft was introduced in an official instruction dated 20 March 1934. However only on one side (left). On the other side the German flag was painted. On 29 August 1936 a new instruction was issued that the swastika (including the red band) should be painted on both sides.

The "new squadron colours" (coloured noses) and codes were introduced already in March 1936, therefore it is very unlikely that a Heinkel He51 has ever flown with civil registration and swastikas on both sides of the tail fin.

Cheers,
Huub
