Re: Yet Another Russian Front FW-190A-4 coming From Dragon

I like the scheme and would buy it. We need some more FW-190's with various armament. There is even a FW-190 that carried a torpedo with a extended back wheel that was used in late '44 and early '45. Neat!

The Fw 190 did have some interesting weapon layouts. Some of the odder ones would be an Fw 190 with either the X-4 wire guided air-to-air missle or one carrying a Blohm & Voss Bv246 glider bomb "Hagelkorn". As far as armament goes I would like to see one with W.Gr21 rocket tubes or a vartiant with the twin MG151/20 20mm gun packs for a weapon loadout. Have to say it would also be nice if they put out some Fw 190F variants so as to have some representation for their ground attack role. My number one pick for a Fw 190 release would be a Fw 190A-8/Nacht Jager, look cool to have one with the radar antennas for the Fug218 "Neptune" radar. Since Dragon did put out the two seat variant of the Me 262, wonder if there is any chance in the future of getting a Fw 190S-8?

Focke-Wulf 190 Part One - Wurger Genesis
Dragon/DML Trimaster released a specific kit of the Nacht Jaeger Fw-190 in 1/48th, and yes it is also my favorite variant and would hope that Draggin make one since they have the pattern mold.

Neat scheme and some interesting insights into unusual ordinance options by CC.

Re: Yet Another Russian Front FW-190A-4 coming From Dragon

This is all well and good but where is the P40?

I have plenty of FW190s but not enough P40s.
 

God Bless America.

Jim, not to hijack the thread but have you checked out this site: inZpan - Aircraft Instrument Panel Replicas & Aircraft Models? They offer a 1/4-scale P40 instrument panel, which I can only imagine would bring a smile to your German Shepherd face.
 

Nrrrm! Whoosh! Rat-tat-tat!

Good Golly, Miss Molly, another one. I love the FW-190, I have 16 in my hanger, nine of then DWs (56.25%), but enough is enough.
