Request : Winter camouflage skin for the FW190a8
« on: June 09, 2014, 08:59:14 AM »
I would love to have a Winter camouflage Fw190a8.

I know they had them in different schemes on the east front, the green-white come into my mind.

We already have a wonderful skin for the A5, but the A8 only have a white'ish skin afaik.


I have only found a few  historical winter skins for the A7-A9

First off, neither of these are winter schemes. The top scheme is a night fighter, where the common underside blue-gray (RLM 76) is painted on the top. The bottom is incorrect in its use of RLM 76 on the tops of the wings, this was a common A-8 base paint with RLM 77 light gray on the wing tops. Where it differs from the norm is the dark green tiger stripes.

Secondly, the Jg 300 scheme is a 190A-6, therefore would be skinned on the A-5. And the II/Sg 2 A-8 is already in game, done by Krusty.

But, since the Jg 300 scheme is so cool looking, I'll do that one.

<manhug> Devil !

I know that they had washable paint for the winter camo, but I do not have any good sources.

Except a white plane with small black dot's on the fuselage im out of sources, maybe someone in the community have more info ?
