Excellent job, Jean-Luc! Really nice kits which will have to be added to my growing Fw 190 stash.

Thanks for the report, Jean-Luc

PS. thanks for the picture, Steffen. It was new to me.

Aleksey, the under surfaces are light blue (RLM 76) but the oil wash may have darken the color a little bit, or maybe it's because the pictures were shot at dusk...


Jean-Luc


May be.... but I guess they`re more white or grey

Hi
These two look like credible Mosquito hunters don't they ?
The Eduard dual combo set has a lot to offer, I'm impressed
Jean-Luc's work is outstanding, I like the paintjobs


..yes great builds but not Mosquito hunters with those radar aerial arrays. 'Yellow 1' was Bretschneiders a/c when with 6./JG 300 during late 1943, early 1944 (Owl decals got that wrong on their nightfighter sheet....nice to see that Eduard got it right! )

Jean-Yves Lorant published it way back in 1980 in his book 'Le Focke Wulf 190' - I haven't seen it published anywhere else until now. - there is an entire line-up of FuG equipped 190s with the wilde Sau emblem in one shot in that book too .. quite a rare book nowadays

With every kit that I build I think I'm getting better but then I see something like this and realize just how much further I still have to go. This is beautiful work once again Jean-Luc. The paint (as usual) is flawless near as I can tell and the dio is great.

Your work, as well as others here at Aeroscale truely inspire me to keep trying harder.
