Now my question is: Will we get to see the entire thing, with the eagle's head on the engine cowling? I know it's a silly request, but I'd love to have that logo on my 190, it just looks so cool!
Please Pyro? Pretty please? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

In any case, I think this is supposed to be a plane from JG26, who never used the "head".

Still a cool nose art, even though only one JG used it.
I mean until we get customizable nose art every game has to make a compromise and use one specific paint scheme for every plane, right? The WB's 109 F-4 for example represents the personal plane of Marseille if I remember correctly.

Why are you waiting for Fw 190 anyhow? JG 77 was all Bf 109 Jagdgeschwader. Better go to JG 2 after all...

Sascha - I think only one JG (JG2?) used the eagle's head. Many other JG's used only the "neck" on the fuselage, and many of the eagle's head planes lost their "heads" to make way for Gruppe/Staffel markings or personal markings.
Correct, only JG 2 did use 'eagles head' marking on cowling. JG 1 and JG 26 used only the part behind the cowling line to hide the exhaust stains.
Sascha, come to the darkest side! We have Fw 190 just like that waiting for you in JG 2 hangar! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

If you ever get across the sea to England,
Then maybe at the closing of the day
The bars will all be serving German lager
Which means we won the war - hip hip hooray!

I find that the APIT rounds can sometimes overcook the center, making the FW quite nasty to chew on.

Hehe, glad to see you took it in the spirit intended! Actually the credit goes to someone from AGW some time back... he mentioned he would like FW's too, if they "were all pink and had 'Mary Kay' written on the tail". I loved that image, and it popped into my head when I saw your post!
BTW, you'll see me in my FW quite a bit... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
