another slightly exotic craft on the germans list towards the end of the war but not quit making it..but a great idea to have a rotating tail to give the gunner a clear view...
another splendid craft from mr ito.
available at  nonodes.

One word - strange.

I didnt read  the blurb properly.....
I looked at that second shot and thought...... hey ho lemoncats doing an ozzy.... Then I thought nooooo the picture is upside down...... It took me 3 attempts to realise that the tail was twisted 180.

That must really screw up the handling when its rotating

How do you manage to find all these unusual birds Lemon?

great shots as usual
cheers

those gramans are far away from the others at that time of the war.....

Neat. The whole tail section must rotate...

Looks like a Il-10 merged with a Stuka

I like the yellow sunset shots!

 ;D

The 187 was designed as a replacement for the Stuka, only one prototype was built, the project was scrapped because the performance gains were minor.
The revolving tail was so the gunner had a clear shot without doing what Sir Sean Connery did in Indian Jones And The Last Crusade

Ozzy

Great fun if they forgot to reverse the elevator and rudder.

Super shots Lemoncat.

Clear skies,
