Re: Japanase Fw 190 A-5
Hello Chris!
I can see your icon is still the same after all these years of my absence!
How you've been? These 7-8 years have brought quite a few changes into Luftwaffe circles when it comes to camouflage research... discoveries of quite a few new previously unseen photos and so on... and as I can see closure of LEMB, which saddens me a lot.
BTW - do you have an email of Peter D Evans?
Anyhow, back to topic:
I've been studying those photos available on the net out of which I have two printed in some of my books. It's such a pity that we don't have any photos showing aircraft's tail! There could easily be some Japanese markings there and we will not know until we see the photos published (if ever).
For time being I will leave my model's tail (1/48 scale) in RLM 76 with just few light mottles. Airframe was not heavily mottled (although it was quite stained) and as such I believe same thing should apply to the tail surfaces.
I strongly believe that leading edges of the wings were painted yellow on FW 190 just like they were on Bf 109... at least according to one of the photos available.
My model is almost done now... Will be adding the yellow on the wings and painting the Japanese markings (I've just cut the masks)
Best,
Milos
