Swastika on Michealski Focke Wolf

Post by krieglok » Tue Jun 21, 2005 1:53 pm

I recently purchased the Michealski Focke Wolfe from BCA. They were kind enough to include a set of swastikas for the tail. They are about 1 1/8th inches square. They seem too large for the tail. Would this size be correct? My library on German aircraft is somewhat limited. Thanks.

Tail Swastikas on all German planes varied in size and coloration.. Some were just the white outline or black, while some were Black/white..
Your best bet would be to try and find a color profile of Michalski's Fw-190 and compare.. :wink:

Here is a profile I found.. It looks pretty big.. :wink:

I don't think they were doing you any favors - I think they come with small retailer versions of this plane. Anyway, it does look large in the photos I've seen too.

when i got the decals their was a ginormous pair and a big pair of swastikas (two pairs in total). The ginormous pair were too big but the large pair are pretty good in size. A lot of 190D's and Ta-152's had big swastikas on their tails for some reason..

The photos seem to represent the decals I have. The size does seem right when compared with the decals I have. Thanks for your help.
