Nice work!

That's a great collection of AU ideas. Sometimes the best AU stuff is made up of such mix 'n' match work and leaving the viewer to decide their own favoured scenario.

Looks good. Not as cool as a Lightning but still looking good.

Indeed, these cross-overs are always nice fun part in AU...thougth an eastern block Ligthning would complete the set nicely

Removed because the scale of the airplane was wrong.

Hi all,



This is the fleet standard observation plane, officially entitled the Fleet Observation Corps Model 1937, mod 39 (as in "1939", not "39th"), known universally as "Gewächshaus" or "Greenhouse" due to the acreage of glass. Powered in initial versions by a license-built copy of the BMW 132 radial and in later versions by the 700-kW variant of the Modula 9 series radial engines. Armament is rather underpowered, with a pintle-mounted MG81Z aft and a fixed MG81Z forward. Crewed by a pilot, navigator and radio operator \ rear gunner, the replacement of the bomb bay in the centreline float with an extended-range fuel tank in the Ausf.39 permitted this a long reach and longer loiter times when used for gunnery spotting. Almost entirely unarmoured and woefully under-armed, Greenhouse pilots learned early on not to engage, well, anything, particularly as the only way to re-load the front MG81 if the pilot should be fortunate enough to survive any length of time in combat was for the rear gunner to cease defending the rear of the aircraft, turn, and reload the belts by hand!

Despite these significant shortcomings, the Greenhouse remained in production for the duration of the war due to the sheer simplicity of the airframe and the impressive endurance the plane offered, these being regarded as the key points in a scout plane.

Regards,
Adam

Edited - sorry thought I would leave it blank as couldn't think of what backstory to go with.

Its based on a MIG-17 but with 20mmx4 due to RAF, Maybe from a world where the UK gets the MIG 15 as a swap for the engine or it has just as good spy's as the USSR ?
