And yours is painted how??
I mean't no disrespect to anyone with that statement, just MHO .... that's what this site is about. Respectful opinions and statements. Something it seems you need to learn. And as for mine? It's painted just like yours.
Sorry Matthias for giving this kid the satisfaction of a reply to his imature post. Guess my skin is a little thin today. Wonderful work on all the great planes at Meier Motors. very lucky owners.
No prob
its a discussion forum. At first I was unlucky with that painting and I thought "uuups", thats not a Focke Wulf. A butcherbird must have been painted in RLM 74/75/76 and some 02 mottles.... but these days I sit on a bench nearby and looked at the fighter glazing in the sun ..... what should I say, its absolute fantastic. Its really something special and the painting shows the "bodyline" of the Tank-construction without disturbance.
And I thought, okay boy if such a ship is yours, which paint do you want ..... I am a purist in things like that. I thought okay, its not a ship like Allen´s A-5 ist a new airframe. An original Fw190 must (!) have a original coat (btw. I dont like the paintsheme of Allan´s A-5 very much but its original) A civil painting as those Mustangs in the 60ties, no way. I think I would paint it like the silver bird, but without the national markings. So it looks like a prototype. Perhaps on the underside the German registration placed as a the ferry-registrations in wartime, but I would paint it in silver... lean and clean, showing the powerful shape....
*hmmm I have to save some money and of course make a pilots licence
......... and then ?
I would buy the "Flying Nightmare" ! YIEHAAAAAA
