Revell FW-190- A8 "Sturmbock" 1/32

I got ya Paddy. These are from the official Monogram paint guide for German aircraft. These are from scanned sheets but give a good rendition.

The colors on the paint chips are resonably close so go for it. If anything they would be worn and faded a bit. Things to remember is that the aircraft paint early in the war was really good. I can't think of any photos I have seen where the paint was worn through or chipped like on American aircraft. Filthy, grungy, and dirty they very much were, and I am sure there were some worn spots, but NOT heavily chipped.

This was my A-8 R11 night fighter. It used a similar paint coloring.

I am becoming rather obsessed by German camouflage now , i find this sort of thing more intresting than actually building the models.

I just wish i was a better painter

A bit of work on the pit and cockpit sides

I think i will cut open another panel on one side at the front as a lot of the engine mount detail and ammo boxes will never be seen if i dont ?
cut about here maybe ?

and one for Saul. I added this bottle but it has no plumbing in the instructions so i dont know what it is or where to run the pipes ?

I went with the PE in the end but TBH i think the 3D would have been just as good, i might try and flat coat the PE, i dont like the semi gloss ink they use.

I got to find my copy, it's around here somewhere.

Shes looking very much like the Luftwaffe's Arbeitungspferd, Ja?

I got to find my copy, it's around here somewhere.

I have my paper copy in the notebook, but also have a PDF file one that someone scanned that works for quick looks. It looks pretty close to the same though the pdf one is a bit on the worn and frumpy side.
