Reini78 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 #1/2021 My dad finished his first model in the new year already. Hasegawa kit, part of the decals from the sparesbox, Eduard seatbelts, EZ line for antenna wire, plastic rods and lead wire for the brake lines, plasic rods for the landing gear indicators on the upper wings. Painted with MRP RLM82/83/76.

Vlad Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Fantastic Focke Wulf! It does look very good, however I am a bit perplexed by the choice of RLM 82/83 as the camouflage colours. Was the thought process that JG 54 was experimenting with what later became these colours? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look very good, however I am a bit perplexed by the choice of RLM 82/83 as the camouflage colours. Was the thought process that JG 54 was experimenting with what later became these colours? Yes, JG54 was used as a testbed for the upcoming late war camo colours. Btw, Michael Ullmann, a Luftwaffe paint expert and author of some books, came up with a new theory concerning RLM83 some years ago. He found some footage which concluded that RLM83 was in fact a dark blue colour which was used on aircraft which operated over the sea or near the sea. And the colour which we call RLM83 is only a different shade of 81 or 82. Thanks Gary and Vlad!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Schilhart Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 What a great build of an iconic aircraft, flown by an iconic pilot... His grave at the Wiener Zentralfriedhof (Vienna Central Cemetery) is well-kept and always beautifully decorated. Here's a picture from my visit in 2018. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
