Arniec Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Steve, I thought faguely that I read somewhere that there was a panelline on the top and bottom of the fuselage. Can You confirm this please. Thanxs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can You confirm this please. Thanxs Arnold. I have looked through several books just to confirm what I thought. And, unlike the Bf109 the FW190 did not have seam lines running down the middle of the top or bottom fuselage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I have a question for any Experten out there. In the book 'Focke Wulf FW190 Special Drawings part 2' by Radek Vavrina there is a colour profile of a Ta152H painted all over in orange-red. The caption reads - 22 March 1945 Oberstleutnant Fritz Aufhammer, Geschwader Commodore JG301. It has the B4 all black cross on the fuselage sides and under wing and an H3 all black Swastika. I have an almost complete 1/24 Ta152H that might look good in this scheme. Can anyone confirm this scheme or have any information on it?

_H_ Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hi Steve I do indeed have some information on the all red 152 but it's at home. If no one else has posted by the time I get home I shall put it up for you. About the seam line on 190's. I know the Dora most certainly does have a seam on the top of the fuselage ahnd extension panel. I seem to recall that the Anton did aswell. Slightly offset to the left as you look from engine to tail? Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously they were puttied over. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_H_ Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hi Steve You may well be right as the build quality differences between the Anton and Dora are plain for all to see. Is there a pic in the new Classic Publications Fw190 book? Again my copy is at home. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 There may be. I don't have that book so I couldn't say. I had to hunt through several books trying to get a good clear close up of the spine. Also in 'Focke Wulf FW190 I'm Detail' by Jens Nilsen there are loads of pictures of the restoration of the A-8 they have at Hannover. Even in that there are only a couple of pictures of the spine.

jacksdad Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Found this:- http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?...ent&id=6127 Seems it was flown by Aufhammer to Rechlin. Any more info will be great as I am more and more inclined to do this scheme on my big 'H' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_H_ Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Hi Steve From Hitchcocks Ta-152 book: On 22nd march 1945 the Kommadore of JG301 Obslt. Fritz Auffhammer climbed into his all orange-red Ta-152 that he had been evaluating, in order to return it to the Luftwaffe proving ground at Rechlin. Because he felt uncomfortable flying a new type of fighter that the trigger happy flak crews had not seen before, he ordered this Ta-152 to be painted a bright orange-red overall, including the spinner and over painting the Jg301 fuselage bands. The only thing not painted were the national markings necessary for identification. On this flight, Hptm. Roderich Cescotti was asked to fly escort in a Fw-190D-9 "Green 1". the purpose of the trip was to return the Ta-152 to Rechlin for adjustments, but more importantly to meet with with engineers and officials from the Focke-Wulf factory to discuss the technical problems that were causing delivery delays in getting this new fighter to Aufhammer's Jg301. After hearing one excuse after another, Obslt. Auffhammer had heard enough. In a burst of anger and frustration he blurted out "I don't care about your problems, you can kiss my bottom! I need these machines right now!" Hope that helps mate Howard Edited February 24, 2012 by _H_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Many thanks Howard. That is just perfect. Well that's it settled then. Orange-red it will be. I will try and get it done before the end of the GB just for that sake of it. Does anyone want to guess what colour would have been used?

What about Spate's Tomato Komet? And didn't Graf fly an all yellow 190? And as it says in the first link Reschke was not present at the time.

FalkeEins Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) possibly yes to the first one, a big NO to the second though.. I don't have any 'evidence' one way or the other and obviously it's going to be difficult to 'disprove' something that didn't exist. Bear in mind Reschke is the 'historian' of JG 301 and was one of only a handful that flew the Ta 152 in combat with JG 301, so his comment about this being 'rubbish' has a lot of validity in my book.....once again a 'second-hand' tale takes on a life of its own..

dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Having just picked up the Hasegawa 1/72 Fw190F-8/R16 with BT400 bombs, I was wondering if there is a list of other Hasegawa boxings of the Fw190A/F and possibly G. I have Priller's A-5, the A-8 + A-8/R8 dual combo set, Standard F-8, F-8/R16, F-9 panzerblitz. I was wondering what others they did (paticularly F-8's with mad weapons). I've seen you can get resin Panzerschreck and WGR 21's, so I'll get them . In addition I do also have the Revell A-8 nightfighter and A-8 with twin 20mm cannon packs, Revell Fw190 with Torpedo and Hagelkorn bomb. I'd really love a F-8 with Mk103 cannons and G with underwing drop tanks and large bomb on the centreline rack. Also is there any set to convert either the Academy or Hasegawa D-9 into a D-11 or D-13? thanks Mike PS I do also have Tamiya's A-3, AZ's A-4, the Goffy model set to convert an A-8 into an A-6 as well as Rudel's D-9.

jacksdad Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Mike. A good starting point would be to go to ebay.com type in hasegawa 1/72 FW190 and see what comes up. This will give you an idea of what's available just now. Also, I know Verlinden do a weapons set in 1/48 (and 1/32 I think), but I don't know if they do it in 1/72. As for the D-9 conversions I don't know. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks Steve The guy I got the F-8/R16 will hopefully be at the Cosford show in a few weeks with another F-9 for me. 2 F-9's means one will become an A-9! I'm hoping he'll have one or 2 more. There's a nice A-5 and A-7 on evilbay right now but they are already more than I'd pay for them. The going rate at shows seems to be around £8, which I'm very happy to pay! thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hi guys, As I've posted, I'm going to be doing a JG54 A-4 of Hubertis von Bonin flown in Estonia. I'm just wanting to confirm the validity of the Hasegawa call out, which is RLM 02/74/83. It seems, from Tank152's recent help, and reading what I can online, that this would be an acceptable scheme. But, is it accurate for von Bonins A-4? Cheers in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Does anybody know if the landing gear from the 1/32 Hasegawa kits have the wright lenght? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
