Pretty much waht it says. I'm trying to build a very small bitmap graphic of an Hs-129, and I need more pictures than I can find on Wikipedia. Anything you guys might be able to dig out would be swell. I'm particulalry intersted in what they look like from offset angles. It wil end up the size of your thumbnail but I need decent detail at a generous size so I can make it distinct from other aircraft similar to it at such a small size.

Thanks!

C'mon Muddy, how much more distinct can a bird with a long-barrelled 75mm PAK get? :wink:

thanks guys--that's more than enough for me to get an idea of it. That flat cockpit and the sqaured off canopy are pretty distinctive. I guess taht's an ammo blister on the left over the wing?

I bet it would be hard to find those "Q-Tip-Scimitar" props like in the color camo picture!

It is a cool looking plane. Wasn't it built of non-stategic material (plywood) that wouldn't be condusive for longivity. Probably like the AT-10 didn't have much of a post war life.

Cockpit section of the FE aircraft above, some photos I took on this site
http://www.preservedaxisaircraft.com/

One wreck discovered but scrapped in Russia during the mid nineties, those who found it didn't know what they had :?

A few other possibilities being looked into.
