Cheers again David. I'm going to do "Red 2" anyway. I like the idea of having all the Fw190s there. I suppose with no definitive pictures a bit of poetic licence is allowed

Cheers David. Shame there is no 'proper' picture of "Red 2". I am going to try and do all the JV44 Fw190s and a Me262.

I've been reading up on JV44 aircraft as i'm planning a build of them. All i can find for the Fw190 D9 is information on "Red 1" and "Red 13" and for the D11 "Red 4". But according to Fw190 Vol.3 by Richard Smith and Eddie Creek, there were five D9s for the four pilots (Sachsenberg, Wubke, Faber and Hofmann). Is there any information regarding the other "missing" Fw190s?

Now do i like that!

I've been trying to find pictures of the area behind the BMW 801 in the Fw190 A/F/G series aircraft. I'm looking to try and detail the area from the rear of the engine to the cockpit/MG bay firewall. Anyone have some pics to help me out?

All's well here Max. Essential worker so none stop with the farming. Getting a little build time in though.

Happy birthday Max

Bang goes my savings. Fw190 heaven

Didn't know that. Just seen their aircrew coming up for sale on evilbay quite a lot.

Reheat do some RAF Tornado (and F-14 & F-104) aircrew https://www.scalemates.com/kits/reheat-models-rh016-raf-tornado-crew--992872

Hate is a strong word. I don't hate the later Mk's. I just don't think they had that 'zing' that you get with the Mk.IX and below (plus the sound of a Merlin engine still gives me goosebumps)

Only up to the Mk.IX. After that they turned ugly lol

As a kid growing up i was always into the main Battle of Britain fighters and in particular the Hurricane (because it achieved more kills and was the underdog). I still love the Hurricane. But ever since i've read about Sturmbock/Rammjager Fw190s i have been hooked on them. They look mean and have a good amount of firepower. I do have a love for other subjects such as Bf110, Ju88, Lancaster, Mosquito, Beaufighter, Tornado GR1/4 and finally Su-27 Flanker B (ever since seeing the Russian Knights). But even though i love the other aircraft, i'll always return to the Fw190.

Whilst i have no intention of doing Pastor John out of money from his excellent resin conversion. I would LOVE to see a modern G2/G4 kit available. I cannot for the life of me understand why companies haven't addressed this issue.
