No, no you've got it all wrong. Leather whips are only wielded by Greeks when all those sex-hungry British women come in the summer.

I think he is insulting your manliness, fairline and Curt

I just love you guys!
But when my girlfriend was two terms at Lancing College UK (near Brighton), pupils spoke reverentialy about "high quality german asses"!

Yes, Britain certainly is beautiful in the summer.

True, British women are awfully ugly, hence the high rate of homosexuality in the island.

.........um.......

.........err.........

.........it seems that during the early 30s extremely small quantities of Mk1 were indeed purchased by the hellenic army. A photo of a trooper during Venizelos coup in 1935 is shown wearing a British helmet. BUT the Italian 1933 model entered Greek service in 1937 and replaced the steel helmets in all the combat units. The Mk1s(which i stress were extremely small in number) and adrians were thereby used only in auxiliary units. In particular Adrians were used by the artillery and the Mk1s by the medical corps.

In 1944 the army was issued brand new Mk2s to be replaced in 1948 by the American model.

So while theoritically fairline was correct about the use of Mk1s by the Greek army the unit drawn is still wrong.

And Molo should know better me thinks......

And that's coming from a Greek gentleman - the irony of it all!

Spartans anyone?

LOL!! Good comeback Curt

This thread has taken a far more interesting turn

[Panda]

And extremely OT. Guys, if you think it worth risking Markos or any other ACS moderator coming along and closing this thread then by all means carry on with the spamming, flaming and trolling.

Beautifull job Justinian, although when you mentioned that it was for Blood and Steel it reminded me of something. Shouldn't the Fiat have on its wings the Roman Air Force symbol which is the eagle with its outstretched wings as oppose to the non-roman facist Italian Air Force logo?

Ehm, I intended to create a standard G-50 so anyone could use it for his own scenario.The image I've taken from Blood & Steel had the fascist logo on its wings; otherwise I'd have added this specific version. If you could show me that symbol I'll promptly substitute it.

I'm now noticing the initials on this image; they states "StS". It was you that created this great improvement?

Oh no that wasn't intended towards you at all. I had just realized that the Roman Air Force symbol hadn't been used in Blood and Steel, I realize your unit was meant to be the historical Fiat aircraft.

I apoligize for the misunderstanding.

@ Justinianum: I think I could help clear out this one. I only put that 'StS' sig to that unit when I tweaked it a little but. I didn´t want to offend you or anyone else but you seem to have missed to put your sig on. If you do so (after adding Nemo´s sig, of course) I will replace the files of B&S, of course.

Ehm, my friend, I fear that the history of this Fiat G-50 thread is full of misunderstandings. I decided to create this unit after seeing Nemo's Macchi MC200 (that is very similar to the Fiat): I needed this unit for my scenario, but I wasn't satisfied with Nemo's design, so I decided to make an heavy modification. I saw that Jim took my design for Blood & Steel, giving a more appealing aspect to the plane: I was impressed by his work and only then I realized how many mistakes I've made in my first drawing. But, at the same time, I realized that I could improve the G-50, basing myself on Jim's work. I haven't added my signature just because my new G-50 is the result of the improvements made by several persons on each other's design: every apolytoner who has done even a little tweaking has contributed to the final design. That's why I haven't added my sign, don't worry .....and I think someone could improve it once again
