Official Focke Wulf Fw 190 Painting Thread

[Carl_Brisgamer]

With the official WGS Focke Wulf Fw 190D-9 in the pipeline with Series V, I thought I'd start a thread devoted to these excellent Luftwaffe fighters.

Here's a couple of Tunisian Fw 190A's I have just finished to start things off - http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?14432-WGS-Tunisian-Campaign-1942-43-1-200-Air-200-Focke-Wulf-Fw-190As-II-JG2

Great work Tony, I like the way you handled the fuselage camouflage. Which Fw 190 version and unit do they represent?

Carl,
They are 190 A's I believe. From the looks of them from the same moulds as yours. I bought them on evil bay and they were advertized as Air 200 casts. I went for a generic western front look. Based on what bit and pieces of decals I had they ended up being JG2.

Black numbers and horizontal bar indicate they are Staffel 8 assigned to II./JG2 on 21 September 1943. Staffel 8 was based in Conches until November 1943, joining the rest of Gruppe II at Creil in northen France. In August 1944 II./JG2 moved to St. Trond, then again to Frankfurt-Eschborn the following month. At the end of September 1944 the Gruppe moved for the last time to Nidda 40km northeast of Frankfurt.

On their return from Tunisia II./JG2 flew the Messerschmitt Bf 109G from May 1943 until December of that year when it was re-equipped with the Fw 190A-6, armed with 2 x 13mm machine guns and 4 x 20mm cannon (WGS firepower - short BCCCC, long ACC).

These are 1/144 scale, and some of first ever attempts in 1/144 scale. Before this, I was a 1/172 scale builder. Kits by Platz, I think was the company. great kits, but one of my first tries in 1/144 scale. If you've never done 1/144 before, it takes some getting used to. These two wound up matching up pretty close to a couple Tankara Fw-190Ds I acquired latter on in my collecting, and made nice "Team Mates". Heres one of my Platz Fw-190Ds, then the Takara one I pair it up with in games, in the next pic.

On their return from Tunisia II./JG2 flew the Messerschmitt Bf 109G from May 1943 until December of that year when it was re-equipped with the Fw 190A-6, armed with 2 x 13mm machine guns and 4 x 20mm cannon (WGS firepower - short BCCCC, long ACC). Just a minor correction. The A-6 still has 7.92mm MG 17s mounted in the fuselage, above the engine. Not till the A-7 does the Würger switch to MG 131s.

And I never should have looked in this thread. I've yet to play a game with the WWI birds I picked up, and now you guys have me wanting to buy some Fw 190s and Jugs to play WWII! My wallet hates you. ;)

My repaint of the official mini...

I just wanted a Fw190 with gray rather than the green camo more commonly found. On the internet I found this one and picked it without knowing who the pilot was. Afterwards I started searching I found out that it belonged to Gerhard Barkhorn who was the second best scoring ace of the Luftwaffe.

I have to thank Karl [Jager] for asking me to help him with some Clipper1801 remakes. He put a scan of a new FW 190 card in an album as a guide for the paint scheme.

So, now I have the option of old or new style cards. :confused:

Rob.

[OldGuy59]

Guys,
Using Photoshop, and layers makes it much easier to do templates. Then, I just duplicate a layer and touch it up, or retype the stats. The new cards can be done with an existing font on my PC, I don't have to do a custom drawing for individual maneuver letters or damage numbers (although I am building up a reference file of the entire alphabet and all nine digits as I go).

For the above cards, it was about 20-30 minutes to match the dark green camo to the plane, but the sand colored one was seconds to do. Reformating the sand and brown spot layers from the D9 to the A5 was not long either. A few minutes.

Doing up colors schemes for different planes may take a bit longer, if I don't have the line overlay for the panels and outline for the particular mark. And bombers with gun arcs all over the place, and crew management cards are really complicated. If I have to make it all up from scratch, it is a lot longer to do.

No elves, I'm afraid.

Mike :)

I'm curious why there isn't FW 190 at Shapeways...

[clipper1801]

Most of the Shapeways guys have slowed way down on making models-especially at our scale and in WWII. Not sure why. Resin is your best bet unless you want to do surgery : ) PM me if you want to me to include you in my next chain saw event, I have half a dozen to cut up . . .

[Marechallannes]

My dear friend Karl (Jager) presented me a nice pair of „Clipper - shortend“ FW 190Ds (http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?17366-FW-190D-s-de-evolving-to-FW190A-s&highlight=FW190) at Origings, that can be used as FW190A-6 versions.

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:

I was inspired by this pictures. Maybe the light grey and the green on the upper side of the wings are a little bit too bright.

The fighters of the JG300 weren't equipped with radar.

[Thunderbolt]

Beautiful repaints guys :thumbsup: I like your different schemes, as Ares originals look very much alike.

Looking through an internet I found somenthing interesting about Doras. In 1945 assembly works in Malbork, Prussia was captured by Soviets. Several Doras ready for flight have been seized there and after quick repaint they were introduced into Soviet airforce. However, no sources confirm if they were used in battles or just for testing purposes.

Here you can find painting schemes in soviet colours:
147719

147720

147721

147722

147723

I decided to post them, as they are quite unique I think. Maybe you'll find them useful for any repaint.

[Barkmann]

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

Nick

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.

[Пилот]

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.

[Jager]

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.

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.

Superb Steve.

More fantastic results, Steve!

[Guntruck]

Thanks chaps :pint:

[matt56]

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

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!:p

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

All the best,
Matt

Yeh yeh, the list grows ;)
Actually the Ta-152 should be relatively easy; the Me.163 and Natter are basically: move straight for arrow length 'X', exchange shots as you go through the bomber box, fly off the map. :slysmile:

Hello all,

As suggested by Carl_Brisgamer, here is a couple of photos of my recently finished FW 190 A-1 Schwarm, ready for some clashes over Occupied Europe!

[Carl_Brisgamer]

Nice Schwarm you have there Chris, look forward to seeing them take on the RAF and USAAF.

[grumpybear]

Well done

[badlands122]

WOW!! Very nice....

[badlands122]

Very Nice Indeed, all the artist here are very talented.:sAprvd:

Nice. As Carl said look forward to seeing them in action.

[UNGRIM]

Thank you all for the kind words. I too, cannot wait to get them on the table.

[Blackronin]

Well done.

[Teaticket]

Chris, what make are these models?

[UNGRIM]

They are my own design Peter, available from (shameless plug) Shapeways (https://www.shapeways.com/product/KHLA7F5U7/1-200-focke-wulf-fw-190-a-1)

[Teaticket]

Thats good to know Chris. I have a list posted for all shapeways planes for WWI at 1/144 and WW2 at 1/144 and 1/200. I try to keep it up to date...
The lists are in the hobby section. I'll add any of your designs to the list if you don't mind? The list is alphabetical and has links for each plane to Shapeways to make it easier for anyone looking to find a plane there.

[UNGRIM]

That would be amazing, thank you Peter.

This took a bit longer than I thought it would...

224954

There might be a few more coming, but not too soon. Two-sided cards are a bit more research.

[OldGuy59]

So, Dave [Caveman], are these all A-7s or something different? And should they all be JG1?
Touch up to the colors, or OK as done (BTW: the RGB values are the closest to Historical RLM 74 and RLM 75 I could do. Which is what the painting references are calling for, but even they don't match the historical references in colors. The finished models don't look the same as almost any paint reference I can find online, nor do they look close to yours)?

[Caveman]

Mike, I think you are too hard on yourself when it comes to matching colors. Besides, aircraft at the front will show wear and tear and fading/bleaching and will not retain factory colors forever. As far as I'm concerned your work is impeccable! :sAprvd: Thanks for all you do to enhance the game.

The models are FW-190A3 versions from AIM. My paint jobs reflect:
Ehlers’ FW190A-4, JG 1, Holland 1943
Black 13 A-3, JG 2, France 1942
Bar’s FW190A-7, JG 1, Stormede, Germany 1944
Graf’s FW190A-4, JG 2, France 1943

Agreed. Very nice!

I feel the absence of the 190 most acutely... hopefully Ares will provide us with a "A" model at some point. :please:

Hopefully these pictures turn out a little better than the last....

[badlands122]

Thank you Karl. As far as the decals go, some I found online and some I reduced from 1/48 scale decals I have in my modeling collection.

How do you reduce the "scale". I'm in the process of trying to make checker board decals and some different colored numbers. But I'm a little slow and computer inept.....

[Caveman]

Hi Ross, It was a lot of trial and error and I'm sure there is a better way for people who know what they are doing. For the 1/48 decals from my collection, I scanned them and transferred the picture to Word. Then reduced them to the approximate size, printing off four or so sizes, picking the correct size to be put on decal paper. Other decals I found on the Internet just by searching something like "Hermann Graf decals." You should be able to find a picture of a FW-190 in his livery. Once I found that, I used the Snip Tool and/or Copy Paste to put the picture on a Word document. Printed off several pictures of the same airplane and used an actual model to compare and choose the correct size from my prints by holding the model to a printed copy. I use that as a basis for making the rest of the individual decals. That's it in a nutshell. Kind of messy and time consuming, I know, but it's the way I figured out. Good luck. BTW - Nice job on your 190's.

[badlands122]

Thank You Sir.

Very nice , John, very nice indeed! :clap::clap:

Nice workmanship John. Do any decals come with those sets?

Hi they came with 5/JG26 decals for the bf109s which fit ok, but I modified them to 1/JG26 by using the numbers from the Ares bf109 squadron packs.

[Caveman]

Thanks John, that's good to know as it does make the price very appealing.

...Sorry, but I don't understand how to set up correctly pictures in this post.ABS

The images in the blue field are ones that were not attached to the thread Cedric - as moderator I have added them for you but can do nothing about the orientation of the images.
It may be they have reverted to how they were originally taken on the device used. ie if you took it as a landscape it's still presented as a portrait. We have had that happen before. It may be worth you creating an album and experimenting this out before you post further images.
Very nice modelling though :hatsoff:
