LTN THEO NIBEL , FW190 D-9
Based just North of Brussels January 1945
Ltn Nibel chose to attack a twin engined plane , As he lined up for a strafing run , his FW190 was hit by rifle fire , Nibels engine lost power then suddenly cut out , Nibel was able to make a safe forced landing , and was promptly captured by Belgian police along with his FW190 D-9 , the 1st intact sample to fall into allied hands,
A Belgian resistance fighter claimed that it was his rifle shot that downed Nibels 190 , when the engine was examined , there were no bullet holes but a partridge clogging up the radiator , Legend has it the partridge was used by the Belgian resistance to ferry messages .
with the base I`ve tried to give it the grassy muddy frosty look you might get in January , hope you approve gents its been good fun , finally a thankyou to Graham who has looked after this GB
Right then what we doing next boys
Cheers
