    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.

    Me 163 should also have 5 hit points and have to draw a D chit every turn if we are going by history.

    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!

    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.

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

    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 Which is what the painting references are calling for, but even they don't match the historical references in colors.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)?

    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! 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

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

    If nothing else, so I can see how close my take on their maneuver decks are.

    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.....

    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.
