Never seen that aircraft before…..looks a decent kit as well.
Me neither.
Infact Scalemates says there is already one. Bonus!

Probably was designed under the guise of being a commercial passenger aircraft (like the He111 was) so it could circumnavigate around pre-WWII regulations from WWI armistice.
I suppose the nearest RAF equivalent would be the Avro Anson - which had many uses!

Due to my recent resurgence of wingy modelling I'm rather interested in the look of this one.....
One question though,is it a "What if",or did they actually serve in the Luftwaffe?
Andy
May well be that it was training guys to fly the He 111 etc so they made the cockpit to have a similar feel?
The Si 204D certainly served with he Luftwaffe - over 1200 being produced from 1940 onwards , it was used for training & communication duties - it was actually constructed in France & Bohemia, as well as in Germany....
The Si 204E is a bit more elusive - it seems a few were converted to act as night nuisance bombers, but no full scale production ( I think the turret was a feature of the 204E )
Some 500+ were produced post war, by Aero in Czechoslovakia & SNCAC in France & were used as trainers & light transports
Dave
Thanks Dave, very informative
I asked because I'm not really into "What ifs",hearing this though... I think I just might go get one!!
Can we at least try to keep the chit chat down? Just a little bit?

And an M2 HB machine gun that you don’t often see on top of a T-34.

Very nice, but these modern warships don't really have the interest of the 'oldies' for me
