Sure, its fine with me that these posts are here.

That bunker photo would be a heckuva diorama.

I look on it as good source material.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Yeah, I enjoy your posts Pampa14. Some of the photos I've seen before but many of them are new to me. And what an amazing invention this translator build into my browser, how did I live without it!!!

It was last issued by Testors. It was originally a Hawk kit.

I built a model of one once it was in 1/48 and came in a box set with a V-1 buzz bomb. Can't remember who issued it.

Chasing the ultimate build.

"Infested"? Really? Well I happen to enjoy the links that he posts, even if it is in a language that I do not understand. There appear to be some references/credits listed on there. Not to mention that most likely, many of those photos are taken by official wartime photographers in the service if their government. Not exactly material one can claim copyright on. I hope that he keeps posting here.

So this guy has infested this forum, posting un-credited images. He's already been kicked off a couple of other forums.

Just thought you should know.

There's a copy of one of those at the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.

The Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka  was a rocket powered human-guided anti-shipping kamikaze attack plane, using as a platform, the bomber Mitsubishi G4M Betty. The following link shows a report and some photos this weapon, employed by Japan towards the end of World War II:
