discussion spanner's Focke-Wulf Fw190A-8 ( AlanG's Night Fighter G.B.)

[spanner570]

All brush painted with Vallejo Model Air.

Loosely based on information gleaned from Hans Nees, Lottie's A.A. Gunner mate from Butcher Munchesgladbacks.

Please keep in mind it was painted with brushes, outside in a field, in a hurry by a Luftwaffe Fighter Ace Hans 'Lottie' Haas and his 'Erks' - Not Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn sat at his easel.






Hans decided to paint over the upper wing balkenkreuz. He reasoned that as he liked to attack the enemy bombers from below, they would be the only ones to see the markings!






Slightly obscured I.D. patches - Specially for Hans Nees and his fellow gunners. Belly painted in a deep red sort of fire in the sky glow...






A superb little kit and a joy to build. A great fiver's worth... :thumb2:

Cheers.
Ron

Great result 570. I particularly like the partially obscured crosses. This "crate" would be hard to find with the sun down. Cheers, Rick H.

Brilliant, it looks quite menacing. The use of such colours seems strange, but there was obviously a reason for the choices made.

 

[spanner570]

Thanks all.

Colin - You have two alternatives to the strange choice of night fighter colours.

A- I took the information from Hans Haas's book ' Jagen Am Nachthimmel' published in 1962.
B - It is a load of fictitious bo***cks thought up by me to accompany this build.

Your choice.....

 

[Lee Drennen]

Looking good Ron

Ahh, when I said an obvious reason for the choice, I was assuming the paint scheme was genuine. Now, given your options, I'm not sure !
