Odd scratch build. FW-190 biplane "Barons Revenge".

[[SC] Arachnicus]

I am about to make a 1:72 scale FW-190 fantasy bi-plane that will be painted as The Red Baron. The pic below is inspiration.

The above pic is solely for ideas. It will not have a jet engine on the bottom and it will obviously be a radial engine plane. It also will not have a lower gull wing.

A hobby shop I know of has a bunch of 190 kits real cheap (around $4.00) because they are missing decals or a part or two. I'll be taking a picture's of what I have and what I will be doing.


Wish me luck

Cool idea

VERY COOL. Looks like something out of the old game Crimson Skies.

The hardest part will be figuring out how the second set of wings will go on.

Looks like a better starting point would be 2 x Me 309's instead of Fw 190's. Either way, good luck!

I was looking at several potential prospects, and I think the look of the 190 with a second set of wings painted red looked the best. But I do agree a 309 would be easier.

I want the plane to be a radial engine aircraft which is why I chose the 190.
