      Number two for the photo GB

      Here's my second effort for the photo GB.
      It's a Fw190F-8/R1 of SG 2 operating in Hungary during the last winter of the war. It is built from the Hasegawa 1/32 scale Fw190A-8 kit with a few adaptations. I never did sort the correct canopy but I can change that later...maybe.
      It is in a distinctive and unique winter camouflage.
      Here's the original much published photograph.



      And here's my interpretation.



      The front cowling ring and kenziffer (code number) 2 are both red on the model but appear much lighter than in the original photo due to the film/filters used in the original.

      Sorry Ron,no running man!

      I'll add a proper colour walkaround later.
      Cheers
      Steve

      Who needs a running man anyway?

      This is one superb interpretation of the photo. Very well done, Steve.

      Cheers,
      Ron

      A walkaround,literally. This is image heavy.

      Very nice work Steve. That is a very careful study of the camouflage and well reproduced. It's begging for a small snowy dio! i know it's not really your thing to build dioramas but it would add some context to this very particular subject.
      Again, well done 5*
