This one for Lemmy, Focke Wulf 190F-8


Recommended Posts

Hello Dears,

I know, I should have waited tomorrow for having a good daylight pic !

But can't wait to share her with you !!:guitar:

I started her and decide, in the making, to dedicate her to a great militaria collector

And an avid modeller, I mean the late Lemmy Kilmister !

As a great fan  of the gentle peoples from Motorhead....

The kit is the Tamiya Focke Wulf 190F-8 with Eagle cals decals EC#10

Let's have a look at this unusual paint scheme for a german Aircraft !

Yes, she is left almost unpainted, the painting on the wing has been crudely applied with brush and whatever was at hand in April May 1945

I tried to depict this fact with a not airbrushed paint job purpotedly barely finished !

Not really easy to have a good effect but I'm glad about this one

The plane was flown by Fw Eugen Lörcher at the 5/ SG 2

He did a belly landing in Aufhausen to escape the russians with his fiancee riding in the rear fuselage.

Seemingly, they came back every year at the same spot to celebrate their escape to liberty with a bottle of Champagne !!:cheers:

More to come soon.

I was bound to build that scene, But I did'nt have a 1/48 grey mouse at the time

Not an expert enough to create or modify a figure... Especially a women snaking into the radio compartment of a Wurger !!:coolio::coolio:

For the one who will ask about the Wheel cover, I'll show the next pic !

The conditions were really harsh at the times, they flew with all that was at hand !

Trying to slow down the russian offensives !! To no avail !

Thank for watching ! Will show some better photos tomorrow !

Have a very nice modelling time and take care !

Sincerely.

Thats a nice bit if work. I to was fan of Lemmy - and Philthy Animal Taylor - and he came from just up the road from where I live. I saw Muttonchop in concert many moons ago and happily jumped up and down with everyone else on a very well sprung concert floor whilst watching Lemmy's lips move through clouds of dry ice whilst playing something like 'Bomber' at number 11 on the amps and being  unable to hear the lyrics! I didn't know that he was a modeller though. 

Cheers

I knew he must have a good interest in militaria, but didn't know about him being a modeller.

 

However I was introduced to my first Motorhead concert in 1984- Sheffield city hall "No remorse" tour, after downing  a 1066sg lager at a certain bar with its own  brewed strong ales. Loved the concert, but ringing ears for 3 days.😆😆

 

Cheers to you Lemmie. 🎸🕪🍺🍺🍺

Ok Dears,

I know it from an interview for a TV network years ago ! Don't remember if it was a BBC or a US tv..

Lemmy was talking about his collection and his models.

They show his workbench, but it was well in the '90, I was in Paris

They another day showed a gentleman farmer, very quiet guy, it was the lead singer from Judas Priest and David Gilmour with his Mustang and T-6

And so on...

Thank for the kind words Radpoe and YES Motorhead was playing LOUD !!

Sincerely.
