FHC's Fw-190 new paint job

[swiss]

hm. maybe there were several different scheme in layers...and the top one just peeled off

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)

Yes indeed now you mention, they must've had reasons for it though...

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



They did fine on this one:
