Crap, i see now. Does it do the same thing if you right click on a link, select 'Copy Link Location' and paste it to the address bar? I can see the images that way.

If they still won't show this way let me know and i'll figure something out :?

All good here, either copy and paste or right click and view in IE options (Firefox user) worked for me.

Cheers

All Yugoslav Hurricanes are canvas winged.

Some more links about Yugoslav kingdom’s aviation. Not skinning site, but colors, profiles, history and models.

And some more scans, I hope that Radoye wouldn’t mind. I have also some on Tito’s Yugoslavia aviation. (From 1942 to 1945) if there is interest.


Please have in mind that colors are not true represented because of old and not so good scans. But there is also explanation in some of the images.










Click to enlarge this one. It's big.

were 3 tone hurries still canvas winged?

Yes, all locally produced Hurris had canvass wings.

Yugo Hurri is somewhat of an odd bird, there was a bit of difference between standard Mk.I (early) and the 6 original planes build according to the Yugo order, some minor changes were demanded that would later be accepted for all subsequent RAF Hurricanes (the metal winged ones), and there were some little differences in the canopy framing that remained unique to Yugoslav Hurries.

They were armed with 8 FN-Browning machineguns in 7,92mm caliber (Mauser bullet, like the one used by Germans).

First 6 machines that were delivered from Britain had canvass wings, two-blade props and Merlin II engines. These were used as pattern for local production, as well as served for pilot conversion training.

Second batch of 6 machines also had wooden props and Merlin II's but have been delivered with metal wings. Technically, they were a Mk.I (early) powerplant coupled with a Mk.IA airframe. These were the only 6 metal-wing Hurris in RYAF (numbers 7 - 12)

All locally produced machines however have received Merlin III's with 3-blade metal props (like standard Hurri Mk.IA), because the production of the older version of the engine stopped and newer ones have been delivered instead. But the planes still had canvass-wing airframes like Mk.I (early). Some 36+ of these were built and about 24 more in production at the time of German attack.

At this time the original 12 British-built planes have received 3-blade metal props, locally built.

Also, except for a handful of examples all Yugo Hurris had only the ring-and-bead sights, no reflectors.

Yugoslav-produced Hurris have also been slightly overweight compared to the British-produced examples, by about 40kg.

I will upload something when Radoye opens thread about comunist Yugoslavian air force.

I will do it as soon as i can - might not be right away, depending on how much free time i have, but it is coming...

Thanks to you all for your very useful infos.
I'll try to make a RYAF SM.79 skin sooner or later.

Don't mind me folks, just moving this to the reference centre. There's some very useful stuff in this thread indeed!

Thanks mate!

Here's a bit more, a couple of Spitfires flown by Yugoslav pilots in exile as members of No. 94 Sqn RAF in North africa:

The three-tone Bf-109 cammo is a misinterpretation of some damaged black-white colors. There were never three-tone Emils in VVKJ (Royal Yugoslav Air force)

Also, the profiles on
http://vv-colors.50webs.com
http://www.letletlet-warplanes.com
are all speculatory at best (most of them are imaginative, although the author has "researched" the topic)

All imported planes (SM.79, Ca.310, Hurricane...) retained their cammo, only VVKJ crosses were aplied.

Best references are

I have found an excellent page regarding this topic. It tackles common VVKJ myths and misconceptions. A MUST SEE for all involved into skinning or paint scheme research 8)

Very nice pics, it's not often you see paint schemes of Yugoslavia.



The image above is of a Hurricane Mk IIC of No. 351 Squadron RAF, which I believe was comprised of Yugoslav Partisans (can anyone clarify this?)
