Yes, but they also took good care of their planes, and I think the amount of dirt you have on your wings would prevent lift!

Check out actual photos of some 190Ds (war photos). You'll see they aren't *quite* that dirty.

Check out Rod's Warbirds

http://www.luftwaffepics.com/ There were more 190As than Ds made, and those As flew the majority of all fw190 sorties (simply because they were around for much much longer). Yet you notice that many of the 190As are relatively clean. Even the Doras look pretty clean (don't mistake camo for dirt!). I applaud your use of weathering, but I think it needs to be pulled back some.

Would probably need a profile pic to make any judgements, since we have no idea what the original looks like. (Well, its too hard to judge by itself because the overall feature is way too dark)

 Also, you really should fiddle around with the arena time settings, because its too dark to make out any features.

 Another pointer, is that even if planes get up in dirty conditions, they have a certain way of getting dirty. It's not just random smudging they receive. I think you may be able to finde some pics on the net, on how dirty aircraft get their distinct 'patterns'.

Im always the one screaming "WEATHERING DIRT OIL!!!" but I really have to agree this skin is a tad too drity...

Other wise very very nice job and I love the planelines under the wings... very nicely done...
