Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-8 Profile

[BCMatsuyama]

A profile I just finished. Took about 3 days on GIMP (while watching a lot of Parks & Rec simultaneously). "White 11" flown by Gefreiter Walter Wagner of 5./JG 4. It got shot down during Operation Bodenplatte, 1 Jan. 1945.

Criticism is appreciated.

Nice illustration!
EL FW-190 is a very nice plane.

I also drew the aircraft and found this:

And some photos...

Removed the putty as I drew it with the side armor still attached and added wear.

Nice update

Hello BCMatsuyama,

nice work, but I think you should check the camouflage pattern as it seems to me that it doesn't fit with the original photos, esp. at the side rudder. Some years ago, when I painted some Images of the Fw 190 I also made a drawing of Wagners machine and tried to be as precise about the camouflage pattern as possible:

If I ever revisit this one I'll make sure to make that update. Thanks!
