Odd surface; very rough, and it seems to me the shell casing ejection port is sunk too far below the surface. Ditto for the lifting eye. Is this turret covered in some US Zimmerit, concrete or an extra layer of steel, or is this just a rough casting?
Actually - the 12 or so models that were meant for the spanish airforce were finished during the 5 day war but were never fitted with armaments. Germany took the aircraft for training purposes and one by one they were lost. Of the two remaining aircraft is the following known: one was displayed in a museum in Berlin and was lost when it got bombed. One was used by Leeghstra and Vos to flee over the channel to the UK and they made rough landing there. What happened with it afterwards is unknown; but Leegstra was presented the tailwheel later. All in all: 36 where produced and 35 of them are recorded to be lost. One is missing.
DO YOU HAVE ANY INFO ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THE VARIOUS LOGOS & STICKERS ON THE FALCON, IE CHAMPION, CUMMINS POWERED, DRIVE SAFELY? HOW ABOUT ALL THE LITTLE COLORED MARKINGS ,OR THE EXTERNAL LIGHT LOCATIONS? IS THERE A COPY OF THE BOOK "THE MILLENIUM FALCON, SHIP OF RIDDLES" BY ROB BROWN,STILL OUT THERE I CAN BUY?
It seems that part of the turret-interior pictures are of the T34-100 instead of the T34-122. In my case that was no problem, I was looking for T34-100 reference so, I was greatly helped. It might be a bit frustrating for more T34-122 oriented enthusiasts, however.
