Balkankreuz
Posted by Texgunner on Sunday, January 18, 2004 11:13 PM
I'm building a FW-190Fseries; would've served in Sicily, '44-45. Could someone tell me what sort of Balkankreuz this plane would carry on the upper wing? thanks in advance for all your help, Gary.

Texgunner hiSmile [:)],
i've got tamiya's f-8 and one of the options is just what you're looking for!!Smile [:)]
it's theit usual tropical sche,e of sand yellow with a mottle topside, rlm65 (i think, as tam use their own "mixes" - a real pain!Angry [:(!]) underneath with white fuselage band.
anyway, the topside cross is similar to early luftwaffe ones: solid black cross, thin white surround, with thin black outline surrounding that. not the best description i know but i haven't got a scanner or anything like that!!Disapprove [V]
i have loads of these spare in 1/48 by the way, but have a hunt on the net as there are loads of aftermarket schemes for 190s - inc f-8's - out there on the web.
try http://www.aeromaster.com/ and http://www.meteorprod.com/CEMdecalstop.html for starters.

hope this helps.
regards,
nick
Kind regards, Nicholas

thanks a lot for the info Nick. It was just what i needed! I, too, have several in my spare decals fortunately. It's just an experiment really. I bought the Revell Pro-Finish FW-190 in a bargain bin sale and thought i'd see what could be made of it. I don't know...it may turn out ok, for what it is.lol, thanks again, gary
