FW 190 refence pics needed
« on: April 05, 2004, 08:48:23 PM »
Does anyone have any reference pics or a link to color pictures of  Fw-190's ( A series) , especially of the cockpit, engine and gear bays?

I'm building DiabloTX's Heller kit ( 1/24th) and all the colors in the kit reference paints that are not made anymore. Some of the conversions I have found for Heller paints have not seemed correct. I have most of the cockpit painted, but I want to get more detail before I close it up into the fuselage.

Any help would be great .... and I know this community is the best place to get almost any info needed about anything :)


Thanks

what's the A & V forum?

I have this this moving along nicely, the instruments are cool....the kit has a clear plastic gauge insert so it looks like real glass....I painted all the markings in the gauges and they are big enough that you can see what most of the gauges are...


Just looking for some pics before I seal up the cockpit. You're going to like it.

BTW, I have done some searching on the Net for the references but haven't turned up anything useful so far.

Just go to Hyperscale.com and look at anyone of dozens of builds of the 190. The colours will be listed in modern paints.
THe interior of the cockpit is mosly RLM 66
The wheel wells are RLM 02
