    Allsop, indeed Frog could be nicer, but thread about Brewster was started very short ago(by Frog as I remember) and I think you were at that forum already, but I could made mistake. Anyway If you were interested in B299. It had it's thread some time ago.

    not Russian but Finnish! (get a read... please again!)... this aircraft had a 30:1 victory ratio in war between Finland and the USSR (1941-1944). Flying coffin... LOL.

    And Japan captured a whole bunch of these planes.

    Japan had many interesting captured planes - also I-16, LaGG-1 or B17

    Frog I think you are forgetting that the Brewster was originally an American plane. The US and British fliers who were still flying it at the outbreak of the war in the Pacific dubbed it "the flying coffin." It eventually found its way to forces fighting against the Allies and only then was it widely used. Just wondering, would it be modeled as an Allied or Axis or both sides' plane on the free host? It was indeed possible in WW2 for a Finnish F2 to engage an American or British F2.

    F2A was destined (in the beta's) to be Allied's version of the Brewster, B.239 was destined to be Axis version of the Brewster (with Finnish markings)

    cool. what other planes were used in Finland? I've heard about 109s,do17 and "Myrsky" (storm). that last was especially interesting - very good plane,and first with "moving" wings (like f14)... wings were moving outta plane in dive ;)

    Ha, I will be very interested to see how the allied version compairs to that of the axis version. None the less, I dont think anyone would argue its a damn ugly craft. Is it just me or is the surface controls unbelivebly small compaired to that of the body? Im thinking it will be something like another f4f.
