Chek Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Sometimes wish I'd paid more attention to certain subjects. I'm sure that for a Luftwaffe aficionado, it'd be as dumb a question as whether F-4C Phantoms had flaps or slats would be to a jet fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringleheim Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Is it just me or does "weathering your Heinkel" seem like code for some sort of illicit activity?! "Hey, has anyone see Gazzas lately?" "Yeah, he's out back...you know...'weathering his Heinkel.'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sharing images about weathering effects I never knew about because they were usually lost in the 70/71 camouflage coupled with B&W photos. Besides... I use other code phrases for "weathering my Heinkel". Gaz ringleheim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably wouldn't for the whitewash: The top vents are feeding ram air into the cylinders so that makes sense that there is no exhaust staining there; that's a clean air intake, not a dirty air exhaust. Check out the black areas on the sides of the engines coming out of the exhaust pipes! That entire area including a good bit of the underside of the wing is just hammered in soot. Top of the wing too! Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really amazed how bright the stencils are and the fuel streaks near the wing roots. This is a great photo and not a common view, either. Note the crew member in the top bubble canopy looking up at the photographer. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
