Focke wulf Fw 190A-4/Trop

April 22, 2024 · in Aviation · · 27 · 527

This 1/48th model depicts a -A4 Nr. 145614, of EKdo 19, based in Benghazi, Libya during late 1942. The task of the unit was to test the suitability of their aircraft to tropical conditions. Camouflage scheme consists of RLM 79 sand brown over 78 sky blue. The Hasegawa kit is simple to build and features accurate dimensions. Although not as detailed as 's contemporary, when completed, it is difficult to distinguish the two apart.

    One of my favorite aircraft and it looks great!

  5. This Wรผrger looks very nice in desert camouflage, Rafi @blackmopane
    Well done

  6. You don't see a lot of FW190s in desert camo. Very nice, Rafi (@blackmopane).

  7. Thatโ€™s one Iโ€™ve always wanted to build, Rafi. Did the kit come with the tropical filters?

  8. Very nice desert Wurger.

  9. Excellent build! I also love the desert scheme on this 190 - I may have to do something like this. I don't remember seeing a desert-schemed Wurger before.

  10. Beautiful model of a beautiful plane. Very well done. But I have to ask...why did you choose to not flatten those tires? They look like they are going to pop.
