FW-190D

Post by Jnewboy » Tue Jul 05, 2011 4:13 pm

I want to do a red and white spiral spinner on an FW-190D but am having problems finding a color profile to go off of to be historically accurate, anyone know of one??

Here is the only stuff that could even remotely meet your needs (probably still not enough to establish historical accuracy).

The credit for each picture I believe are in the images, but regardless I take no credit for their contents and they are posted strictly for discussion purpose.

Thanks for the help, yea I really like the JV-44 one but I have been told its not real and hasegawa and DML screwed up. I would like to do it though as the red and white go much better than the yellow black with the red and white belly

Ok, Ill throw the same question out there but make it a green and white spiral, any you can find, the only one I know of for sure is the D-11 yellow 10

Did you ever find another Dora with red or green spiral?

I've found colour profiles of several 190D in the H&C Planes and pilots series FW190 volume, which show the green/white spiral spinner, but unfortunately the book has no reference details on where they got the information on colours, meaning they are probably speculative.
Apart from the D-11 you mention which is shown as bright green, the rest appear to be RLM 70 or possibly RLM82.

All the best

Here are a couple of pics of a 190D with a green spiral. This is a museum airplane. I am posting the links to the photos, on account of the Photobucket thing is too much trouble.
