Hi Bryce.
His bird crashed due to pilot error. I was there when it happened...he almost lost the bird once because he flew to far out and probably got disoriented. Had a few feet to the ground...He then came in for landing, overshot on the base leg, and while attempting to correct he got in a heavy wing rock, until the plane went in over a wing. Apparently he rebuilt it after the loss, but i have not seen him fly it since.
As to your puppy: the 44+31 was apparently taken from service shortly after it's anniversary scheme. The colors are not FS numbers, the paint comes from the Luftwaffe-arsenal, so they are RAL. I do not have the numbers on them...the best bet would be to contact the JaBoG Airbase paintshop, they painted and detailed it and can tell you exactly what went on it.
The right side fetures the head of Mr. Boelcke (45 years JaBoG) and 2 horses on the intake. The left side tail has a Tornado on it (20 years tornado). Lefthand intake has a howling Wolf in front of the moon, as well as the link to the anniversary homepage (now offline)
www.alma321.de. The airplane was called "blue lightning" and also had this logo applied to the nose.
Apparently Revell had plans to come out with one, but from what i know they did not briing it yet.
I have about 20 or so pictures, with quite a few details and also higher resolution, as well as 2 or 3 cockpit shots. The cockpit layout is the standard GAF ECR Tornado layout as is still flown today. If the photos are not enough i might be able to get more via my uncle, he was RIO on the ECR Tornado until a few years ago.
Contact me via pm and let me know your email adress, and i'll get you whatever i have on my PC on the bird.
Hope this helps
Regards
Hank
