Nitpick Description


Submitted by Nitpicker : Nightranger
Movie : Enemy at the Gates - 2000
Nitpick Category : Weaponry
Nitpick Number : 51156
Approximate time of Nitpick : near the middle
Summary : Plane near department store all wrong
Detail : \n The crashed aircraft near the department store, under which Zaitsev, Ludmila, and the other sniper use for cover is supposed to be a Siebel Si204. The 204 had twin fins, whereas the wreck shown in the film has a single fin, although the general fuselage shape is more or less correct. The aircraft is also shown with at least one engine unit detached, yet there is no engine mount, hydraulic or fuel plumbing visible on the front face of the nacelle, just a simple flat bulkhead.

It is in fact a Siebel Fh.104 Hallore - a predecessor to the Si.204

I can't imagine how one would have made it there though as only a few could have been built.

No argument about the engine firewall being too clean though. Odd with the amount of work that went into the rest of it that they wouldn't have taken the 10 minutes to finish the job.

 

No, sorry....

but it IS supposed to be a Siebel 204. I've just checked the DVD, and my references. It bears no resemblance to an fh104 whatsoever, except that it is twin-engined. The aircraft in the film is supposed to portray a Siebel 204D, which had an unstepped glazed nose. The fh104 and 204A had a stepped solid nose. It would explain what a Siebel was doing in Russia. The Germans used a fair number of 204's in that theatre, for among other things, night harrassment attacks
