Looks great. Is the nose decal or painted?
Thank you, Mark.
The nose is painted, but Eduard makes it easier with complimentary black decals.
A beautiful Würger, Rafi @blackmopane
The checkerboard nose looks really nice on it.
Thank you, John.
Excellent result, Rafi!
Love the painting and weathering!
Thank you, Spiros!
Outstanding work, as usual, Rafi. The half-open canopy is an unusual and interesting difference. Is this the Dragon kit or the Eduard A-6 kit? If the Dragon all the more skill was involved! Georg Schott (no s) scored 17 victories in the war, including 3 B-17s. The black cat was his personal emblem. According to the Kracker Aircrew Remembered Database, his fate was especially tragic: "KilledInAction (KIA) 27 September, 1943 during aerial combat with P-47s, opposing the Emden raid. He bailed successfully, landing in the North Sea. An intense search proved futile and his remains were found, still in the dingy, 11 October, 1943, washed ashore on the beach on the island Sylt."
That cold English Channel/North Sea was deadly to too many of them.
Thank you, Christopher.
It is a Dragon 190A-8 kit converted to A-6 because Dragon does not have the A-6 kit.
Interesting input about the pilot and the fate of war.
Lovely 190 - the A-model is my favorite version. The checkboard work looks great.
Thank you, Greg!
