FHC's Fw-190 new paint job
|
Just checked - that doesnt seem to be the original camo scheme.
Thx, WTF?! |
looks east-front-ish, what is the original paint scheme then?
|
|
hm. maybe there were several different scheme in layers...and the top one just peeled off :confused:
|
Doesn't look all that different Swiss, I think most of the paint is missing on the first photo, I see green traces everywhere, just very lightly, bit of a difficult angle as well to spot it well.
|
Is was more about:
-position of the yellow band -AC markings (and maybe a bit too bright, it's fugly) |

It just looks...wrong.
|
I'm gonna hold my comments until i see it in the air, or at least from another angle. It does look bright though.

Looks fine to me. I think those guys do at least some research.
Anyway, after so long outside, exposed to the elements, the original colors are going to be severely altered. Still, you can see the yellow on the rudder, and that there is yellow behind the cross and covering a tiny bit of the rear canopy fairing. I would venture to say that the plane was over-painted sometime in service, and that's why there's another yellow band further back. If you're worried about the "brightness", don't. She will be dull and grungy in no time :) http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._3640819_n.jpg They did fine on this one: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._3903923_n.jpg |
Yeah, their Emil is sweet, love the paint on that one. I'll just have to wait until they fly the 190 again, I'm glad they didn't go for another grey mottle scheme like the flugwerk ones.

these green brown camo looks like a typical JG54 one.
JG54 Fw190 had often very different colours than the 'typical' grey ones of other Luftwaffeunits ! |
You guys sound like you think that they make "weathered" colors in the factory:grin:.

Even back then, planes came off the production line looking....NEW.:-) I'd say it looks gorgeous. |
If the green was that colour, it would have been seen from space and recovered years ago.
Those colours were applied in the field by JG54 to hide their aircraft on the ground...What ever colour was used, that green is wrong. |
