Nice

Cool video man, I love the DIY model scene parts. Very crafty :)

In case anyone is wondering why the Polish government hasn't invested more money to develop more modern fighter aircraft. Yes, modern aircraft were also developed in Poland such as the PZL.50 Jastrząb and the PZL.56 Kania. But the Polish government was of the opinion that development was not urgent because Poland was completely sufficient armed to hold out long enough in the event of a German raid as agreed with the British and French so that the French and British could attack massively with all their strength in the west. The Polish government was actually sure that the Germans would not dare to attack Poland because then there would be a two-front war for the Germans that they could not win. The Polish government was also of the opinion that if they did dare to attack, they would quickly lose the war due to the complete Polish-Franco-British superiority. These were completely realistic assessments of the situation in the 30s by the Polish government. The Polish government could not have suspected that the agreements with this allies were completely worthless because the allies had no intention of supporting Poland if the Germans attacked. The Polish government also could not have suspected that the Germans would completely correctly assess the willingness of the Polish allies to betray and would therefore attack. Because such a betrayal would actually be completely irrational and absurd! Nobody could have imagined such madness, including the Polish governmen.Since Poland relied on the allies, Poland also saved the costs of unnecessary armament, because for the with the allies agreed period of holding out, the PZL P.11, like all the other Polish weapons in the Polish stocks, was completely sufficient, which was also shown during the German raid on Poland.Because Poland held out for the agreed time and almost the entire German armed forces were fighting in Poland, so that a massive attack in the west by Poland's French and British allies was absolutely possible and would have been successful. If British and French had attacked massively and with full force in the West the Germans, the Germans would have lost the war because they were not prepared for a two-fronts war! The Germans had no chance in two-front war against Poland, French and British if the French and British had attacked massively in the west with all their might. To win, they would only have had to attack massively with all their might in the west, as this was also agreed with Poland. But they didn't. Because they have chosen to betray their ally. Since there are people who deny this betrayal to this day, here is a detailed description of this disgraceful betrayal! In 1939 Britain and France signed a series of military agreements with Poland that contained very specific promises. Three main actions were agreed that the French and British should take in the event of a German raid.: 1. France immediately carries out an air campaign according to a pre-determined plan. 2. As soon as part of the French troops are ready (on the third day or so), France will progressively launch offensive actions with limited targets. 3. As soon as the main effort of Germany was directed against Poland, France with support from the British (from the fifteenth day onward) would begin with the bulk of its troops an offensive action against Germany. Three days after the raid on Poland, France and Great Britain actually declared war on Germany. BUT... the declaration of war in 1939 served only for saving face. This was the continuation of British and French appeasement politics of the 30s. The inaction of the French and British was the message to Germany: Be satisfied with Poland and Czechoslovakia. Do not attack us behind the Maginot Line. We do not attack you either! With the alliance agreement, the French and British promised to support Poland with all their might in the event of a German raid with a massive attack in the West. But the British and French had no intention of adhering to the covenant commitment. They wanted to sacrifice Poland for peace with the Germans! They have betrayed Poland! The attack had been promised! Instead of attacking, they did the Phoney War, in German "Sitzkrieg" called. The German name is the most appropriate Sitzkrieg! Means war while sitting! The British and French sat around instead of attacking. The Germans would have lost the war because they were not prepared for a two-fronts war! The Germans had no chance in two-front war against Poland, French and British. The Germans had nothing in the West. Only inferior reserves without tanks and hardly any air support. 90% of German combat aircraft were in Poland. Part of the reserve were 808000 men reserve without training! WITHOUT TRAINING! At the Nuremberg Trials, German military commander Alfred Jodl said that "if we did not collapse already in the year 1939 that was due only to the fact that during the Polish campaign, the approximately 110 French and British divisions in the West were held completely inactive against the 23 German divisions." German General Siegfried Westphal stated that if the French had attacked in full force in September 1939 the German army "could only have held out for one or two weeks." Franz Halder Chief of the German General Staff of the Army documents this fact in his war diary. "The Wehrmacht had been on the verge of a military logistical catastrophe in the Polish campaign. The happy ending after a few weeks saved her from having to stop the fight because of insufficient ammunition." In fact, the Germans had almost too little ammunition even for just one front. They definitely didn't have enough ammunition for two fronts. The Siegfried Line? The Siegfried Line was a fake! The French and British could have found this out quickly with sufficient reconnaissance flights, Long-range reconnaissance patrols and reconnaissance missions. The line was not finished in 1939, also inadequately occupied with little ammunition! Wikipedia writes:"The Siegfried Line at the start of the Second World War had serious weaknesses. Alfred Jodl said after the war that it was "little better than a building site in 1939", and when Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt inspected the line, the weak construction and insufficient weapons caused him to laugh.” As already stated, the Siegfried Line was unfinished in 1939, which is also illustrated by the fact that only 60 anti-aircraft batteries were available for the air defense of the Siegfried Line. Many of the bunkers were either not built at all in 1939 or were not yet finished. Due to the preference for weapons production, the German industry was unable to provide either the required quantity or the required quality of steel for practically all metal parts for the bunker constructions, so for metal parts like embrasures and their closures, steel armor parts for the installation for gun turrets as well as armoured cupolas, etc. which of course the quality of the bunkers was significantly reduced. Not only steel, but also alloy metals, primarily nickel and molybdenum, were needed to produce these armor parts for the Bukers and the Germans had to import these metals at great expense, although here too the production of weapons was completely preferred. For this reason either no armor parts made of these alloys were installed at all or they were made from inferior substitute material. Also because of the very short construction time, the Siegfried Line could not have been completed at all in 1939. Because the Siegfried Line only took 3 years to build and how short that was can be seen by comparing it with the French Maginot Line, which was a real bulwark and Bastion, which was built in three times longer with 9 years. But with the so-called Saar Offensive of September 7, 1939, the French themselves proved that they were capable of attacking in 1939! Also later called “sham offensive on the Saar”! The mobilisation was started in France on 26 August and on 1 September, full mobilisation was declared. But they mobilized their troops out of fear of a German attack and not to support Poland. Although it was a fake offensive to give Poland the illusion that they want to figh this offensive at least made it very clear that an attack in the west was possible. A French offensive in the Rhine valley began on September 7, six days after the German raid of Poland, the French with British air support successfully attacked and encountered little German resistance. The German armed forces were engaged in the attack on Poland and the French enjoyed a decisive numerical advantage along the border with Germany. French divisions, part of the Second Army Group, advanced along a 32 km line near Saarbrücken, against weak German opposition. The French army advanced and captured many towns and villages unopposed. The French held German territory along all of the Rhine-Moselle front. But already on September 21st a complete withdrawal of the troops was undertaken to their starting positions on the Maginot Line. If they had continued this offensive as agreed they would have won. But they preferred to betray Poland and withdrew completely! By the way, if British and French had attacked in the West, the Soviets would not have attacked Poland. The Soviets did not wanta war against the French and British, who would most likely be supported by the anti-communist Americans. That's why the Soviets also waited to see how the French and British behaved. Only when it was obvious that they were remaining inactive did the Soviets dare to raid Poland too.

The pilots who flew the Fulmar thought it had only one fault, and that was it's woeful top speed not its agility. If they didn't get a kill on the first pass they very rarely got a second chance.

Why bend decals? Just cut them and apply as two separate pieces!

That’s a pretty bird right there

Actually very very interesting

This was a good video and very interested

Polish pilots made ace in this plane before joining the RAF.

Great video. Keep'em coming

Perhaps someone could verify, but I understand that the bulk of the hundred plus PZL11s that were lost in September 1939 were destroyed on the ground. If correct, they had a pretty impressive ratio of kills in arial combat. Combined with the Luftwaffe losses to groundfire, the invasion was no easy task, taking out a good proportion (approximately 25%) of Germany's committed aircraft in a matter of weeks.

It's not that rare a kit, it has been produced under licence by Airfix, Revell, SMER, Vista, MisterCraft and AZmodel :-)

10:48 that bloke really knew what he was doing!

The Caproni Campini was a jet plane, the first to fly for a long distance. So the Caproni Campini is a revolutionary aircraft

Bollocks, for all intent and purpose this prototype aircraft was powered by a reaction engine. Do you see any air-screws? And it proved that jet propulsion was a viable power source. Interesting video, very informative!! 👍👍A bit bigoted thought. As regards to the propaganda aspect. The aircraft wasn't built for the sake of propaganda, it was built as part of a research program.

A veeeerry good video! Nice jobb!

The 56th Fighter Group retained their P-47's for bomber escort as the range issue was rectified with additional fuel tankage but the P-47 was superior to the P-51 in ground attack so groups escorting B-17's were equipped with the P-51 while P-47's were concentrated generally for ground attack and airfield interdiction. As compared to the P-47, the P-51 was an overall equal, not a superlative. After the invasion, and airfields were established in France any range issue became moot. By the time the P-51 came into battle in any numbers the P-47 had already defeated the cream of the Luftwaffe. As for Japan, while P-51D's were initially used as bomber escort, the new extra-long range P-47N's, a derivation of the powerful P-47M used by the 56th, were being organized to be committed to the Invasion of Japan. For too long this suggestion of P-51 superiority over the P-47 has been allowed to be continued. It is a testament to US tech and industrial capacity that the US was able to produce the two best fighter aircraft produced in large numbers in WWII.

The me 410 failed as it was under poweredand when the american escort fightersapearedthey were swept from theskies😮the bk 50 mm canonwaspeone ro ne too jammingandit was not likedby its pilots😮

Revell's reissue is very affordable in 2023.

Just a short notice: it is spelled "Bausätze", or "Bausaetzte" in German.

Absolute beauty! Greetings from Prague, Czech Republic.

i have the original User Manual for the 410 and for all the other famous german planes, including the manuals of the MG's, Canons, Gunsights and even the Control Sticks. All as PDF files.

the A10 Warthog of the 40's^^

the Me-410 with 1750hp per engine suffered from the same root issue as all German propeller aircraft, it was lucky to get 87 octane fuel going against 2800hp engined fighters running 150 octane. No amount of ingenuity can overcome such a huge detriment in horsepower made possible by large amounts of insanely high quality fuel, hence Germany rushing to jet aircraft instead

Finally a new video! I was worried you died or something, man

This might be a good video, if it were recorded with a volume level high enough for me to be able to hear it on my phone.

Nice build 👍

The thing that failed the German air forces was the ability to provide engine's for the aircraft

It wasn’t a jet, it was a ducted fan. A different thing altogether.

Thank you so much, I was searching the entire internet for videos on how the gunner position worked in the ME410 and your video helped me tremendously! Thank you so much!

Really interesting video. Many thanks.

this made my day <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I discovered and excavated a crashed Me. 410 which had been shot down over Surrey after an attack on London. It had gone down almost vertically. I sent the parts to IWM and they confirmed it. After four weekends, I apparently reached the cockpit. The two kids were only eighteen and nineteen years old, according to their war graves. I was sixteen. I suddenly grew up. I said a prayer for them. I replaced the soil over them and walked away.

fascinating, thank you.

Well Made, I'm reading "Big Week" by James Holland atm.

stayed patiently to the end, but never got to see the finished model in its entirety; rather only some strange close up shots under a flash light?

Subbed! Wonderful presentation!

Basically a glorified supercharger that burns fuel in the exhaust

I never like videos - but I have here. Channel needs help with the algorithm only, content and editing are A-OK.

1000 subs! Whoot!

On landing the Jaguar undercarriage doors shut, but before engine shutdown the ground crew opened a small panel and operated a switch to open them, As part of the Pilots shutdown procedure he would lower the flaps and leave the airbrakes open. The airbrakes needed to be open to allow access to the refuelling connection, also they needed to be open to start the Micro-turbo starter.The undercarriage doors were open for servicing. The flaps lowering was used to test the hydraulics, the Jaguar had a Hydraulic pump on each engine, these operated the Two hydraulic systems. Another tip for modellers, the Auxiliary engine intake doors were spring loaded shut on the ground and only opened as engine power was increased. except in inclement weather the canopy was normally left open. On the canopy the pilot had a small handle which he could use to secure the canopy about two inches open, most of the time on the ground when taxiing he left it in this position, only closing it for takeoff, he would use the handle to secure it open as soon as he landed. I spent seven years servicing the Jaguar, operating off the flight line at Lossiemouth, or out of hardened aircraft shelters in Germany

The Jaguar stationary on the ground always the airbrakes open so that the Microturbo (APU and ground start engine) can be run which is a small jet engine in the port airbrake bay.

I am building this at the moment, and i think its a HORRIBLE kit. Even though, it is just the gaps and flash so its ok, i have enough putty. Its a fun kit to assemble :)

In fact the 410 was a perfectly good aircraft, and the plane the 210 should've been. It was just too late for the 410 to be built in great numbers and be effective.

I used to go to Manchester Airport when I was a kid to watch the aeroplanes in the 70's. It had a most excellent viewing area where you could get very close to the planes. There were plenty of Tu134's and 154's there flying for most of the Eastern block airlines. I always enjoyed looking at them along with the VC10's, Comets, Caravelles and Viscounts as well as the usual Boeing and Douglas aircraft. Happy days.

No primer? Very brave...

I am in a process of building Special Hobby's Fulmar I (great but with some fit issues tbh), also in 1/72 and I have to say this AZ (ex Vista) issue is not that bad. I suggest you to get some veeeery thin fishing line for a rigging, 0,06mm or something like that. Works perfectly cheers

Nice, I love these early jet engine planes. Great painting

The ME-210 is a great example of fly before you buy. Glad no air force ever made that mistake again.

I read that the Fulmar actually had a 5 to 3 kill/loss ratio against single seat fighters. Anyone know what those 5 fighters were?
