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

In glorious colour!

A walkaround,literally. This is image heavy.

My version of the upper camo

And a chilly looking pilot

Cheers

The B/W picture is a credit to you, but this set is even better!

One excellent paint job Steve.

I appreciate you taking the time to give us some information on your builds and the painting of same. Thank you.

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*

Glad you like it chaps.I appreciate the comments.

Paul,it would look good in a snowy dio but firstly I can't do dioramas and secondly,at this scale,it would be on the large size. I have enough trouble storing my models as it is! I'm afraid a whiteish back drop and a scattering of bicarbonate of soda is about the best I can do :smiling5:

Cheers

Maybe in a smaller scale.

Where to put stuff? I am allowed one shelf in the main living room,for one model,usually my latest.

And then I cram as many as I can onto shelves in the front room. It looks like Duxford or Hendon.

Everything else is stored in boxes in the loft.

Cheers
