Nice post!

Thanks for explaining the antenna types.

That's what I like, a 'disscussion over' post.

Good post, good info, good result!

Hehe, I wouldn't say it is over yet.

Rodolphe, do you have some images of the He-111 with the nose MG pointing upwards?

Isn't this the one shown correctly modelled ?

1. Nose gunner never sat like that. I have never seen a seat mounted there, plus physically there is no space to put the feet like that!

I could not find any photo (among numerous pictures available) of that "Bomber/Navigator/Gunner" crew member sitting on the front of the "Liegeboden" (bench).
Though not totaly impossible, this sitting posture is very unlikely.






















































The most usual lay down position.





































The usual sitting position is on this folding "jump" seat.




































On this poor quality picture, crewmembers take up the "Liegeboden" and the "Klappsitz" (folding seat).













Frantisek, B-Stand, auf Gefechtsstation !!

Hello everyone!

Sorry did not follow up earlier.
First the Do-17z,

THEN lightning hit my house and fried my internet. Still down.

Doing this from work (first day back)...

1. I see a healthy debate on the nose gunner
2. Missed the note on the gunner.
3. Did not know of that more cylindrical antenna, but it also looks different from the one modeled.

Finally that one modern picture of a fella in the top turret of 111 (couple of posts above, Rodolphe noted), that me!!

I have two images that I can post if no one else posts them first. Too late right now for me to post them.
