@wirikuta14 My understanding is the mottling was not done with airguns/airbrushes but with rags flung against the fuselage...using differing amounts of saturation of paint at different passes over the fuselage.
@FORMETOKNOWONLY hey man thanks! I am a fan of german WII camo, and I have never seen that kind of (should I say misterious) mottling in preserved birds, the mottling just doesn´t look right, so you make a lot of sense, I will look into it. HORRIDO!!!!
@wirikuta14 Well, of course you can't use rags on a model plane. lol...with enough practice with an airbrush you should be able to simulate it on models. You are more than welcome btw. I am an artist and had a crazy idea of doing some aviation paintings. Since I was a kid I was always fascinated by the camo painting schemes the Luftwaffe created. Problem with doing this kind of art is the endless hours of research and I am not so sure I want to open that can of worms.
I believe this one was built by the Flugwerke company.They were to make 12 of them originally but the overwhelming orders for them enticed them to build more(not sure how many).They are exact replicas built to original specs as in the 40's but powered by different engines.I wish VW would remake the classic Beetle as they were in the 60's,but thats another story.Gotta love the FW190!
Eric, you don't know how many memories this video brought to me!!! I couldn't afford the Flug Werks plane so I went a little smaller. Check out my 3 videos of my Vans Luftwaffe RV-8! I did the paint myself . I hope to see yours in person oneday!
That's yours? I like it.. I was wondering if it would be feasible to use the RV8 and do some reskin from canopy back to make it more like a FW..... Thinking of using F-1 Rocket since is closer...
Hi Eric! Is this one of the Flugwerk birds? If so, you made a suggestion that it would fly somewhere 2009 but I had a chat with one of the stafmembers of Duxford where the FW190A8/N should be on static but it wasn't. When I asked this man when the Flugwerk FW190A finally received it's permission to fly he told me that it could take quite some time due to the only fact that it is a full replica?
Nevertheless.... Get this bird into the air where it belongs even though it's a "fake" ;-)
Hi Eric! My sincere apologies for calling it a fake, obviously it's not! But what I wondered was if it is a genuine FW190A or a replica. The skies over Europe defenitely need an addition of a FW190A to make the warbirdscene in Europe complete! I would like to take this oppertunity to wish you all good luck because you are doing an excellent job!!!
Dude, you live my dream :-D!! I and many others are waiting for years to see an airframe like this completed and airworthy! If I have to... I'll visit France in order to see this magnificent plane fly! Thanks for uploading the progress!
Il va être magnifique sous cette livrée et 95% des spectateurs de meetings ne sauront jamais que cette peinture ne correspond pas au modèle. Après tout c'est un FW, point barre. J'espère que les soucis de refroidissement seront efficacement et durablement résolus et vivement que l'on entende son moulbif ronronner. c'est long mais vous faites un boulot formidable. il va falloir immortaliser les premiers cris et toussotement du bébé Eric, on compte sur toi ! encore merci pour tout ça..
Tu pourrais nous donner des précisions sur le choix de la déco. ? On voit bien qu'il s'agit d'un piège de la 2./JG2 mais connais-tu les raisons de ce choix ?
is it me, or the mottlling in warime FW´s was much more intricate and random? is this how a wartime bird looked like?

J'espère que les soucis de refroidissement seront efficacement et durablement résolus et vivement que l'on entende son moulbif ronronner. c'est long mais vous faites un boulot formidable. il va falloir immortaliser les premiers cris et toussotement du bébé Eric, on compte sur toi ! encore merci pour tout ça..
