    Great stuff there Rafał! We can see the paint scheme is very similar to the german schemes, they just changed the crosses for stars. Expecting beautiful repaints out of this!
    Thanks

    Very true! It's actualy German painting schemes where German markings were covered with German base colour and Russian star painted on that...

    It was quite common for Soviets, look at some lend-lease planes. They quite often retained original camo as well and only nationality markings were overpainted.

    I believe the time was the main issue. In some periods during the war Soviets delivered tanks to the front straight from the factory, painted only in base paint.

    Given that the Red Airforces were overwhelming the Luftwaffe by a factor of 10 to 1, I doubt they would have been used in Germany. Maybe against the Japanese in Manchuria, but most likely, for evaluation only.
    The La-7 was pretty much a match for the Dora, so why risk friendly fire accidents?
    IIRC, the Russians didn't use much, if any, captured German equipment. By the time they were capturing large numbers of stuff, they already had a superior tank (T-34/76 and /85), and probably lacked the ability to retrofit Russian guns onto the chassis, like the Germans did with large amounts of captured Czech, French and British tanks. Trying to maintain Panthers and Tigers, when the Germans were having serious issues(!), would have been impossible.
    The most valued LL stuff we gave them were trucks, telephone wire and 100 octane gasoline for fighters.

    I second that, Karl. I guess they were repainted for testing purposes only, nevertheless I found it interesting to publish here.

    With the upcoming Lancasters I had the idea to repaint them as FW190A-6 single seater nightfighters from the JG 300 „Wilde Sau“ that defended Berlin versus the British night raids against the German capital from 1943 - 1944 under the command of Geschwaderkommodore & Ritterkreuzträger Hans-Joachim Herrmann.

    Here is the plane with the number 1 of Hajo Herrman:

    Sven,
    Sorry this took so very long to do, but is this close enough? Is the card the right size (68x44mm)?

    [Edit: Corrected, as requested]

    If this is acceptable, I can do the second plane. A few touch-ups to match the paint job, as they are not the same.

    Wow Mike!

    Took me 3 days to discover this plane card beauty! :smak:

    Great work!

    The card size is: (57 mm x 38 mm (standard WoG scout size)). correct!



    Mike, can you do me a special favour again and give number "5" to Lt. Karl Jäger?

    ...and change the movement deck from R to O*?

    OK,
    Am I using a cheap plastic ruler? I measured my cards to 68x44mm. Are you using cards from a different game?

    The fuselage paint job is matched, but the wings are not, sorry.

    Although I pinned some bad-lighted photos on the Officer's Club wall, finally the lighting is much better and the camera is appropriate, so now am presenting the "Fantastic Four Focke-Wulfs 190A" from AIM. Original Pactra colours RLM 74/75/76 grey scale and Africa Yellow plus some white covering the grey camo were used. These are so to say generic schemes, neither any particular units nor pilots.

    With cards already printed, they are ready to play minis




    Blue Seven.



    Blue Eight.



    Black Six.



    Black Three.



    The two greys.

    Greetings!

    A friend of me give me as a present a few minis of the same scale than my WoW/WoG planes. One of them was a FW-190A. Unfortunately, I don't know the mini manufacturer... if somebody knows it please inform to me about it.

    I have found in Spanish forum a friend that paint minis at a good price. He has sent my FW painted a week ago and I'm very impressed because he has made a great job!

    I bought some accesories from aerodrome to complete them and, here you have the final results. I hope you like it!

    I selected 6/JG.1 Stormede flown by Alfred Bindseil.
    Here you have some photos together my WoG FW190 D-9 7/JG26 (ref.WGS105C).

    I love seeing all these lovely Butcher Birds, guys and gals! What an inspiration

    I bought a D-9 to paint up for Italy circa '44 - '45, but I don't think I'll be able to use it!

    Ah, well, I'm sure I can talk myself into some Defense of the Reich scheme...
