Focke Wulf Fw 190 A-8/R2 of II./JG 300
« on: July 05, 2012, 05:31:41 PM »
Hi everybody,  :-salut :-salut :-salut

here is a Fw 190 A-8/R2 which is the (very) old kit issued in 1977. I added a sliding blown canopy (seen on the photo that I used as a guide). It's unusual for an A-8/R2. The kit has been entirely hand-painted including the spinner spiral, excepted the markings. The exhaust stains are made of real lampblack.
This plane was "schwarze 4" of II./JG 300 in February 1945.

Thank you mate.
I forgot to tell that the scale is 1/72 (Airfix has also issued the Arii kit in 1/48 scale during the 1990's)

I remember me to have also built that kit... Your result is from far better than what I had obtained!
My kit, as many others, disappeared when I moved from my parent home, long years ago...
