Re: FHC Fw190A-5 1227 White A 4./JG54 - Looks like a R/C model

Slippery ground indeed Ruy!

Hands up Mark, I did not read all of the WIX forum posts and whilst I did know that you were involved I did not know the depth and detail. Mine was a late-night knee jerk defence of an organisation that has saved/preserved a good many excellent projects and will probably save more. I did not mean to demean your efforts to keep their 'eye on the ball' on this one and apologise accordingly. If they are half the organisation I think they are then perhaps they will listen to you and change the colours to a more appropriate shade. Also I do agree with you about the gloss finish which is a great deal more dazzling then the 'metallic sheen' observed on the wartime colour photo of Black 5 of 5./JG54.
Sorry to have ruffled your feathers!

Chris
