Blumax I'm pretty sure those Condor props are actually quite big. 

[HundertzehnGustav]

  Same Difference!

The point is that the props are big. 

[Blumax]

Fair enough!!

I guess it is relative to the a/c Not sure but they look like they're the same than on the FW190, so around 3,5 meters...they do look big on the butcherbird but on the Ju they look small

That's right, engine and prop are similar or even the same like on Fw-190, depending on the production date of this aircraft.
Early 290's were equipped with VDM 9-12067 A of 9-12153 A propellers, both of which were used on Fw-190 as well.
Later several 290s were upgraded to VDM 9-41181 propellers, which when equipped with 9-41181.15 blades featured an advanced anti icing tube mechanism for sea patrol operation over the north atlantic.

Looking up at the humungous B29, Eddie belched once, dropped his cigar, and fell on the tarmac where a puddle of urine sprouted from his faded stinky jeans
SEMPER FI, CHEERS!!! he yelled and passed out while tooting a sonorous fart (ewwwww!)

Another sweet rare bird on our today banner picture:


First thing to notice is that the picture is mirrored (for whatever reason, but anyway, such things can happen).
Same image full size:


Other image, same aircraft:


Same squadron, different aircraft:


The aircraft shown in the banner pic is a Ju-87 G-2, WNr. 494200 and belonged to Luftflotte 4, 1945, Pilsen, Czechoslovakia.
It has been captured by U.S. troops right there in 1945.
The pilot is unknown.

Best regards - Mike
