Looks big enough to send on it's own sortie, while not really a plane guy either I do love the old WW2 prop jobs from all countries. 1/32 scale is something special I'd say and yours is looking great so far.............Jim
Herman Goering once said that when he saw the Mustangs over Berlin he knew that Germany had lost the war
He may or may not have said that. It is certainly a quotation often attributed to him and he did share the sentiment. The nearest I've seen was when answering questions from Spaatz. Goering said.
"When I saw your bombers over Berlin protected by your long-range fighters, I knew then that the Luftwaffe would be unable to stop your bombers. Our weapons plants would be destroyed; our defeat was inevitable."
In another interrogation he was asked when he realised that Germany would lose the war and replied.
"When they [bombers] came with fighter escort to Berlin".
I admit that neither quite has the same ring to it as the Mustang quote, but I've never read a transcript in which he refers to the American fighter by that name.
