Fw 190D-9 "Red1" of JV44 Lt. Heino Sachsenberg....

Looking at the fold-out of Red "1" and the Hasegawa painting guide, they've got it right...
But, the last color "profile" in your post #231 has been thrown around where the dark green should be light green etc.

Pics will be up in a while mate, I have to recharge the batteries....

Wait a minute.... Ur saying the Hasegwa directions are CORRECT for the top of the wings???

Ill check post 231...

 

[lesofprimus]

Ur saying the camo in this pic is wrong??

 

[lesofprimus]

And that the directions here are correct???

 

[Lucky13]

As far as I can tell brother, looking in my JV44 book....I'll post pics as soon as my batteries are fully charged to show you....

 

[lesofprimus]

Thats the source we HAVE to use now as my direction in this project is completely fuc*ed.... In the pic, are the patterns and color choice correct in the Hasegawa directions??? Concerned about the pattern, cause there are so many examples of it being the color profile up above that pro modellers have done....

I want it right..

 

[Lucky13]

Ur saying the camo in this pic is wrong??

Indeed I do brother..

 

[lesofprimus]

And the obvious question:

Is this book THE source we should be using??? Jan, Erich, Wojtek, Wayne????

You have got the shape of the camouflage correct, the colors need to switched around though...

Beginning with the port wingtip (left am I correct?), it's light green, then dark green, light green and dark green at the wingroot....

Starboard wingtip (right I hope) is dark green, then light green, dark green and then light/dark green wingroot...
You can't actually see the starboard wingroot in this color fold-out, but since Hasegawa as got the rest correct, I'm sure that they're correct there too...

Here is the direction sheets I just took....

And the obvious question:

This is the book called "JV44 The Galland Circus" by Robert Forsyth...

The color artwork and technical drawings are by Eddie J. Creek and Arthur Bentley...

I don't know if there's any better book on the subject....

 

[lesofprimus]

I believe u are right Jan... Up till now, its the most comprehensive book on the Circus out....

However, Erich said theres all sorts of new tidbits coming out in Crandalls new Dora book, so................

 

[lesofprimus]

So how do the blownup directions look compared to The Book???

 

[Lucky13]

Here is the direction sheets I just took....

The mottling seem to be ever so slightly different between the book and the color guide, but the wings are good...

 

[lesofprimus]

Charge ur damn batteries already so I can see what Im getting myself into...

 

[lesofprimus]

I still cant get over the fact that Model Masters Paint screwed me over so royally....

I should have noed the difference of course, but dammit, why didnt someone telll me in advance???

You Bastards!!!

 

[Lucky13]

Tell you what mate...I'll go and get a set of fresh ones, from the shop around the corner brother.....I'll be right back!


-----------zzzzzzzziiiiiiiiiiiiiip----------->>>
