Another 190' paint :)

The Classic Hangar FW190s are a very welcome change from flying all the Spitfire and Mustang models. Superb models, with beautiful virtual cockpits and demanding flight models.
The “Dora” models are my 190 favorites, looking a lot sleeker and more proportionally shaped with their V12 Jumo 213 engines than their radial siblings.

The FW190D models where not used by JG 5 in Norway, but a few arrived to airbases in the south of Norway in May 1945 as Germany surrendered, in the hope of continuing the war from Norway.

One of these was FW 190D-9 “White 1” of 5./JG 26. This aircraft was also equipped with the R4M air to air rocket system. Some confusion about the W.nr, but it is most likely in the 210xxx series which was build by the Focke Wulf factory in Sorau.

Another try with making German world war 2 camouflage…

Beautiful camo repaint, JensOle.

I just love the cockpits in these German aircraft. So purposeful. Classic Hangars does such a nice job. I want their Taifun.

Now if I could just get some facility with the metric altimeter and VSI I'd be all set.

Thanks! I also find the german cockpit ergonomics much better than the allied aircraft.

Not to slag any particular nationality but I find the cockpits in the WWII Brit ships to be the least ergonomic. Those de Havilland compasses look like they could have guided the HMS Bounty.

Kudos to the brave men and women who flew them so effectively.
