Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-4/U8 W Nr 7155 landed in error at West Malling on 17th April 1943. It was given the RAF serial number PE882. After making 96 flights at RAE Farnborough, PE882 was transferred to No 1426 (Enemy Aircraft) Flight, the ‘Circus’ that demonstrated Luftwaffe aircraft at British and USAAF bases. PE882 crashed near the Flight’s base at Collyweston on 13th October 1944.

I'll just have to get the Wittering codes

Andy, I keep getting the dreaded in your posts

These are Owl decals

Despite having to work, in the end I made it XR728 XS904

Very nice

I always have trouble with link & length tracks :shithappens: but that's just me

I found it a nice kit, not too dissimilar from the Tamiya 1/35 one in parts breakdown I have four more in the stash

Revell's 1/72 Cromwell Mk IV 2nd Northamptonshire Yeomanry, summer 1944

Thanks Richard. I've been gleaning information from a gentleman who commanded one of these from D-Day to Berlin, and have tried to incorporate the details he's recalled

I'm currently working on a couple of Revell 1/72 Cromwells, marked up as the 2nd Northamptonshire Yeomanry and a couple of b/w for atmosphere Still a bit more to do before they're finished

I tend not to trust kit callouts, which are skewed towards their chosen brand of paints :shithappens: I'd go along these lines (in the absence of anything else) RLM 74 Graugrün Top camouflage on fighter aircraft from 1941. Also referred to as Dunkelgrau. FS: 36081 (36086) Hu: 108 (91*Hu: 27 Matt Sea Grey + 2*Hu: 29 Matt Dark Earth + 1*Hu: 34 Matt White + 1*Hu: 109 Matt WWI Blue, Hu: 27 Matt Sea Grey)X206 RLM 75 Grauviolett Top camouflage on fighter aircraft from 1941.

Fw 190 A-8/R-11 ‘White 9’ of 1./Nachtjagdgeschwader 10, Oberfeldwebel Migge Werneuchen, 1944

Very nice

Just the E-Type... I'm not greedy

I'd bet the cellulose thinners are too hot for the primer

Here's my kit

PM inbound Andy

Mods I've not yet found a picture of one I want to build The sprues contain the ETC500 bomb rack for four SC50 Grade I or II general purpose bombs, underwing pods for the four 20mm cannon or addidtional racks for another four SC50's. The ventral load could be changed to one SC500 Grade III GP bomb and it has both the A-8 and blown canopies

Its the old Airfix 1/72 - the port fuselage is stamped 1977

Neat

Thanks for the additional info, this is my first voyage into the sub-variants of the Butcherbird :shithappens:

I have an A-8/F-8 boxing that I'd like to do as a Nightfighter. I think (sweeping generalisation here) that A-8's were ground attack a/c and that F-8's were basically the same except they had blown hoods and had the wing guns removed. The exception being the F-8/R-13 which was a designated Nightfighter. Now I'm looking for units that flew these and their markings. Any help gratefully accepted

Finished up

Very nice
