African FW-190


Recommended Posts

HI all!

My build for the GB, a what if FW-190A-8 in some wierd african colours! :lol:

allright here's the story

A Luftwaffe expedtion force flew to central Africa in early 1944, in a daring atempt to reach the Nigerian oil fields (wich was discovered by a group of special agents from the SS) The small but powerfull expedtion force flew with special trop versions of FW-190A-8, Bf-109G-10 and verious transports. But! the expedtion was unsussecfull and in 1945, when the war was over the pilots returned to europe. Leaving most of the Fighters behind, a local airman repaired a single FW-190 and 2 BF-109's. The FW-190 flew until 1954, where it vanished!

I'll use the Revell kit.

Cheers,

Mikkel

Wacky and daring in one fell swoop! I love the idea and it'll be great to see something completely different in terms of paint scheme. Nice choice on the kit as well, it is a superb little kit IMHO.
