There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

I'm staying neutral on this one, but I believe I've owned a number of pocket knives from it too.
Scotland? sheesh....

Now, to settle the question whether the cross should be red or white, can anyone tell me from which country did Henry Dunant, the founder of the Red Cross, originate...
Your repaints are superb, Bernhard.
Cheers

Hello Bernhard,
Thank you very much for these two wonderful repaints. Have a good day

This must be a commercial aircraft which is advertising for "White cross Medical Nursing scrubs"....

I need to find more time to be able to fly this superb aircraft. I love the screenshots and repaints!
For some reason having not said it before, thank you Craig and Huub for all of the work you did on these aircraft! It is a stunning production, and a treat to have such a generous gift.

How about Latvia or Finland... ? Anyone interested in a fictitious livery of a brand new HE-51 on a lend-lease to those countries ?...
Better luck next time ...

Found some time to get some paint and 'Sw---as' on this gorgeous aircraft...
Two of these repaints are essentially fictitious (Finland and Latvia) but "could have been" ! The third one is my "interpretation" of Harro Harder's mount on his first tour of duty in the Legion Condor. It is still a WIP but I'm getting close...
I use the word "interpretation" as it seems that camouflage was an ongoing process on the HE-51, starting with the overall grey skin and a decision being made to camouflage them with a few blotches of darker paint, to something that your dog wouldn't probably want to play with...
I found two profiles of the same aircraft, both different, with more paint being added from one to the next as time goes by. There are also a few pics of Harder's plane, with the last picture showing that the pilot had done a beautiful candle light, it being mostly the main subject of my repaint. I have used paints which were available for the 1937-38 period and gave it my best...
You will notice that numbers (2-64) are not painted yet on Harder's fuselage as I have not found the correct fonts (or ones that would come close) that were used for that period by the Legion Condor. Anyone have a suggestion ?
They should be ready for download this weekend.
Cheers,

Thanks Fleurdelys! I had planned to do the Harder repaint as well, but I can take that one from my list now.
This is what I'm currently working at.... I thought Craig deserved a RAF repaint
During the Battle of the Ebro, autumn 1938 a disoriented Spanish pilot from Grupo Cadena landed his undamaged Heinkel He51 in Republican controlled area around Valencia. By that time the Republican forces were already split in communists and anarchists groups and both sides didn't allow the other side use this aircraft. The aircraft was secretly flown to France and from there shipped to the United Kingdom. It received the RAF registration AB210 and was briefly tested by the RAF and Rolls-Royce at Hucknall airfield. However as the aircraft was already considered obsolete it was soon left abandoned in a remote corner of the airfield.
When the No. 25 (Polish) Elementary Flying Training School was formed at Hucknall in 1941, the Heinkel was brought back to flying condition by the Polish ground crews, which were trained there. The aircraft was baptised "Gretchen" and used for all sorts of (unofficial) purposes.
It remained in use until the engine seized early 1943. Attempts to replace the engine by a Rolls-Royce Kestrel failed and the aircraft was eventually burned in summer 1943.
I hope to finish this repaint during the weekend.

Huub

Got you!!! It isn't strange you have never heard of this aircraft as I made up the story earlier this evening.
However some things are true, for instance Hucknall was the RAF and Rolls-Royce test field and Polish pilots and ground crews were trained there after 1941. The rest of the story is just a product of my imagination....
As far as I know the Republicans used every aircraft they could lay their hands on. In 1938 the Republicans were split in two camps, but as they had lost he support from France and the United Kingdom al ready, it would not be a logical thing to give an aircraft to their former allies. One He-51 was actually really captured during the Spanish civil war, but this was given to the Sovjets (the white with yellow one).
When it would have been given to the British, the He51 would definitely have been in a museum like the Italian FIAT Cr.42 which landed at the beach near Orford Ness.

Super paint, Huub
I love the abused look that you've given her and the attention to the little details such as the warnings inside and out, paint chipping and pot shots in the spats...
