Actually Pikas, there's a canopy frame there so it would appear as Herr Huber has shown it. Great work and truly beat up and used. I love it!

Yep, I noticed it late on... so exclude the canopy from deleting the "Otterlines", uups outerlines

Hi Björn!

In Flugzeug Archiv Band 12 is an amazing set of photographs of this plane. Many in really bad quality. When it was found it had no engine covers but an ETC (damaged). It seems that US troops "rebuilt" the plane from spare parts. So I have no idea if the engine covers are really the original ones when the plane flew with JG 4.

Cheers, Simon

I don't want to sound rude, but do you in any manner want to indicate that my work is in any respect a copy from Otterkins' drawings?

Ironically i found this book in my book shelf after JM had send me the pictures here. Indeed one of the pictures shows the back part of the aerodynamic cover of a ETC but i decided to draw the plane like it was run by the american troops for tests. I think the engine cover was taken from another plane as its camouflage doesn't fit with the rest of the cowling.

Herr Huber, I don't think anyone is suggesting you copied my work. You've never seen it, so how could you? You were offered advice from not only myself but others which you greatfully and graciously accepted. As a result, you have produced a work of genius that is entirely by your hand. Well done mein Freund!

[pkassak]

I agree, I was not aiming at you and your drawing beying copy. I was just giving outerlines funny name after Otterkins2 (no offense Otterkins2). You have to agree, he is Da Masta of lines here
relax It is nice profile...

Hello everybody!

Once again: thank you very much for your support and encouragement!

I just finished my Fw 190 A-8/R8 of Hptm. Moritz from IV./JG 3. I made some last corrections and gave the aircraft a little more plasticity. I also drew the aircraft of Gefr. Walter Wagner from JG 4, who was downed in Belgium at Operation Bodenplatte. I found some very nice colour photographs of this plane which gave me the opportunity to make a very, very worn out aircraft - what do you think about it?

By the way: next coming soon is Major Dahl's Fw 190 A-8...

Hello Björn,

the front hood is painted not as high dark...
and the font of the > 11 < in your profile is non correctly.

I know that the font of the "11" is not correct according to Luftwaffe standards - but i drew the numbers like they appear on the fuselage of the aircraft according to the photos available...
