Very nice!

I too love your Pfalz D.XVI   :-*   I'm seeing Bf 109 mixed with a bit of Fiat G.55 ... but maybe with typically Pfalz plywood-skinned Wickelrumpf construction?  ;)

Your AETA Thulin V is also very cool! I'm not sure what this Typ V's basis/bases was/were but it is the backstory that most intrigues.

The usual telling is that the May 1919 death of Enoch Thulin combined with post-WW1 economic downturn spells the beginning of the end of AETA. So, in this ATL, does Enoch survive? If not, does AETA still stand for AB Enoch Thulins Aeroplanfabrik? Inquiring minds need to know, Arc'  ;D

The Pfalz is more of a G.55 with a bit of Me-109 and a pinch of Ki-84 and the work intensive wood construction has been abbandoned for allmetal construction.

Ofcourse AETA stands for AB Enoch Thulins Aeroplanfabrik afterall did the roaring twenties not get their name from the roar of Thulin cars and motorcycles?

Very nice! The Daimler suits that LaGG airframe surprisingly well. And, of course, everything looks better in Ilmavoimat colours  :smiley:

If so, I've got to disagree ... assuming that this LaGG is actually a Finnish production (or re-engining). In that case, I'd expect it to follow the pattern of the VL Pyörremyrsky. So, as shown - a German-supplied VDM propeller with a Bf 109G-style spinner.

It would be a Finnish re-build along the lines of the Mörkö-Morane

Nice effect - stone, sand, and scrubland  :smiley:

But what is the aircraft? (I'm getting both Bloch and IAR 80 vibes from this one)  :D
