Well, for what it is worth, my group build attempt is finished.
Eduard Fock-Wulf 190A-8/R2 1:48. ICM figures and Tamiya 1:48 Kettenkraftrad with APU
__________________________________________________________________________
This is Hans-Gunther von Kornatzki
He joined the Luftwaffe in 1933 and served with several units, taking part in the Battle of Britain as CO of II/JG 52. In 1943 he was given command of Sturmstaffel 1 a specialised unit whose job it was to take on the heavy for engined bombers, the B17s. He became commander of II(Sturm)/JG4 on Sept 12 1944. He lead his unit against B17s over Magdeburg and managed to shoot down his sixth, and final victory. In the attack his aircraft 'Green 3' took serious damage causing him to attempt a failed belly landing which took his life.
In my 'Scenic Display' I have tried to depict the final preparations of 'Green 3'. The ground crew check out the undercarriage after preparing the engine. The APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) is 'plugged in' to top up the batteries and help check the electrical circuits.
Hans-Gunther von Kornatzki, in the leather jacket discusses the coming mission with an intelligence officer. His 2IC, still needing a walking stick after a bullet got through the armour of his aircraft and hit his leg, listens in on the conversation. The intelligence officers dog spots one of the ground crew has some of his lunch left, a slice of dark bread, and goes over to beg for a piece.
A Kleines Kettenkraftrad is parked on the port side, it's driver waiting for the ground crew to finish off so he can attach the tow bar and pull 'Green 3' to the taxiway.
None of them could have known that their leader, Hans-Gunther von Kornatzki, would not return.
No matter what flag they fight under, warriors are warriors and deserve respect.
