alberto49 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 From the web: Schlachtgeschwader 4 was formed 18.10.43 in Piacenza Italy from Stab/Sch.G. 2. When I purchased the new Revell kit I thought that my model needed to be somehow Italian so, as the Fw 190 was never used by Italians in WW2, I looked for a subject at least linked to Italy and I found that SG4 in 1944 operated from three Italian airports: Piacenza, Viterbo and Airasca and fought actively in the battle for Rome. As mentioned already in a different session of this forum, my goal was to replicate this "White 11" In addition to the Revell kit I used the following integrations: Eduard Brassin cockpit ref. 632056 and bronze undercarriage legs, ref. 632057 Wooden propeller blades and spinner from Eagle Parts Decals, where used, from Eagle Cals Home made masks for insigna. So, here following some pictures of the bird. I hope you like it Cheers Alberto mywifehatesmodels, Uncarina, Lars Befring and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifehatesmodels Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Looks great, Alberto! I would love to see more close-ups, especially showing off that engine! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunda Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Really nice build of an often overlooked subject- 190F's in the Italian theatre. Well done! As mywifehatesmodels says, would be great to see some more close ups of the engine and cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanKB Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Great camo finish - the Italians & Germans both had some very cool schemes, usually more interesting than Allied efforts. Can we have some more close-ups please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandokan Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Very nice model!! Well done Edited October 23, 2015 by sandokan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alberto49 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Many thanks for all nice comments. About details shots, I have some taken during the assembly process and a few taken at the finished model. Here they are Engine first, assembled, no weathering and no details added because I knew that much will not be visible at the end. More to follow Cheers Alberto BiggTim, andromeda673, dpastern and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgem37 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Love Med schemes. 'Home made masks for insignia.' Would that be the insignia on the open panel? Thank you. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alberto49 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Love Med schemes. 'Home made masks for insignia.' Would that be the insignia on the open panel? Thank you. Sincerely, Mark No, that one is one of the few decals I've used that has been me for me by an Italian guy who does decals on request using a laser printer. This is the link, if you are interested this is the link on his FB page https://www.facebook.com/dmspecialcolor Those badges are also present on the Eagle Cal sheet but the green colour seemed to me to be too dark if compared with badges found on a book dedicated to German WW2 emblems.
