Title: Coming soon: 190a8 blue 8.
Post by: Krusty on October 14, 2005, 03:14:50 PM

A little blurb I found about the plane:

"This was one of the aircraft that appeared in the well-known photos of FW 190s lined up at Herdla in the final months of World War II. The pilot was Uffz. Dietrich. The plane survived the war, but was destroyed at Herdla in summer of 1945. 'Blue 8 + o' was probably flown by 13./J.G. 5 in northern Norway in autumn 1944, before being transferred to III. Gruppe in early November 1944, when the wavy IV. Gruppe symbol was overpainted. A previous aircraft number was probably also overpainted. The name "Erika" was carried under the cockpit, but cannot be seen in this profile. Also carried was the J.G. 5 emblem on the cowling. "

I'm finishing up the template I need and then I'll start.

I'm basically done with my Graf 190a5 (just toying with the paint chipping now), then I'll get to work on this and 2 other 190a8s.
