Did you know that the German Stuka carried Torpedoes?

Are the little propellers on the wheel struts for retracting the landing gear?

Scott T, my understanding is that those propellors drive sirens that gave the Stuka its charactaristic high pitch wine in a dive. It was clearly designed to terrorize the enemy.

Believe it or not I have seen pictures of P-47s on aircraft carriers.

Hi everybody !
I recently visit the french nuclear powered aircraft carrier : Charles De Gaulle.
She was moored inToulon military harbour. Infortunatly, no aircraft onboard...
She was engaged in Libya with US Fleet against Kadhafi.
It was a private visit which have been organized by a friend submariner modelist who is serving onboard.
Pictures here :

Very nice pictures Pablo! Is that you holding the Akula?

Hello,
No, the Akula's owner is the friend who is servicing onboard the aircraft carrier.
I'm happy you like the pics...

Pablo, I went to your website and read up on your PVC submarine. Great job carefully listing all the changes you made to it over the 4 year period. Really good.
