The name was also applied by air crews to Bombers like this model which were stripped of their guns and painted in bright colors. These flamboyant planes were used so that hundreds of bombers could get into formation for attacks on Nazi occupied territories. For far too many air crews, the “Judas Goat” name was all too apt as they flew unescorted missions against heavily defended targets. 11689 MMIS1689 Minicraft® 1/144 Bf-110 Messerschmitt with 2 Marking Options Fire in the night Exceptionally heavily armed Bf-110 fighters were some of the most lethal threats Allied bombers encountered in WWII. These twin-engine fighters made the most impact in a night fighter role, shooting down English bombers in the dark over Europe. Their combinations of twin 20mm cannons, a quartet of 7.92mm machine guns, and options for upward firing “Schrage-musik” configuration weapons let them turn bombers into Swiss cheese. Later variants also were equipped with onboard radar—a much more effective tool than ground intercept radar. 14720 MMIS4720 Minicraft® 1/144 P-47D USAAF with 2 Marking Options Lots and lots of guns At eight tons fully loaded, the P-47D was one of the most massive single-engine aircraft of World War II. Pilots nicknamed it the “jug” and it was a true juggernaut. These aircraft ran escort missions, close support missions, and pulverized ground targets with bombs and their eight 50 caliber machine guns as a fighter bomber. At high altitudes, the P-47D was supreme—more maneuverable than many German fighters. At lower altitudes, high energy dives and gobs of firepower evened the odds. 14722 18 July 2016 ❘ MMIS4722 Tech Support 217-398-8970 w w w. g p d e a l e r. c o m Moebius Models® 1/8 1966 Riddler Riddle me this What’s malevolent, intelligent, and has terrible taste in unitards?
