What kind of dark magic is this?? You've some how managed to shrink a real FW-190 to 1/48 scale!

 

Awesome work, looks superb :clap:

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?

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!!

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.
