S!

Nice skin Those Dorniers were a gift from Hermann Göring, many of the planes been used in Battle Of Britain. All of them scrapped after war due the arms restrictions set by Allies, especially Russkies.

Interesting note that one of the pilots of this plane had a dogfight with 2 x LA-5's when returning from a deep photo recon mission over Russia. ZERO hits on the Heinkel, La's ran out of ammo and the Russian pilot saluted before peeling off to base. After the war this Russian pilot wanted to meet the bomber pilot, but as he was not so keen to be in spotlight politely declined.
