Gazzas Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hi All, Been wondering about this one for a while. Anyone know? I'm thinking it's an FW190A1, so maybe Channel Coast. Thanks your thoughts, Gaz phasephantomphixer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holzemjo Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Is that Atlas who dropped the earth from his shoulders on the cowling or just some random dude with a ball? Gazzas and phasephantomphixer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Bellis Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Here you go: http://www.luftwaffe.cz/kosse.html Is that Atlas who dropped the earth from his shoulders on the cowling or just some random dude with a ball? The artwork is actually a monkey in a Brit hat getting cut in his behind by a saw blade.

holzemjo Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Ah, Now that is helpful. Gaz I'm sorry I couldn't be more useful :/ Glad, someone else figured it out, though! Guess I assumed a little too much philosophical depth in the artwork...

Gazzas Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 I really considered a number of possibilities. Only recently did the proportions strike me as somewhat ape-ish. But the British hat was invisible to my eyes until it was pointed out. And I had thought perhaps the symbol was one single color. But now I'm glad to see what it was. I now have an excuse to build an FW190. Who makes the best 1/32 A4? Thanks, Gaz phasephantomphixer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aslakh Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I am curious about the mind that came up with the nose art... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The only early Fw-190 in 1/32 scale is the PCM one. Thierry phasephantomphixer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunwinglow Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Oh, I think most nose art artists have pretty vivid imaginations.... phasephantomphixer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Bellis Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Who makes the best 1/32 A4? Montex makes a nice, no-cut conversion set for the Hasegawa '190 kits with full fuselage halves. D Gazzas and phasephantomphixer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
