The second 190 looks like it's based on Erich Rudorffer's Fw190A-6. At least it looks very close except for the devil which did belong to another staffel of JG54...

When comparing Spitfires with Luftwaffe planes it's worth remembering that it's a lot easier to paint a Spitfire scheme than a freehand mottle. How many mottle camos have these guys painted before they started their projects? My guess is none and I'd like to see the skinner who did a perfect mottle job on his first try!

The 'Rudorffer' machine is a new built one, it was painted like that for a Finnish movie a year or two ago.

"At least it looks very close..."

Yes, very close.

Wrong insigna on the cowling.
Wrong tracing of the different colors.
Wrong shapes of the mottling.

Yes, very close. If you are easily satisfied, by a half-done job, of course.


"When comparing Spitfires with Luftwaffe planes it's worth remembering that it's a lot easier to paint a Spitfire..."

I think this is not the reason. British people are very keen on their history (and they are right) and aviation buffs won't probably accept without much whining that a Spitfire, for instance, could be painted in such an amateurish way.

"How many mottle camos have these guys painted before they started their projects?"

Once again, for painted something which can cost tons of money, I think it could be possible to do some training and testing before on some sheet of metal. Of course, if you intend to do this in a professional way.

Ok. I guess I just dont remember because I must have seen that 190 some where.

I found it.

Btw what Finnish film has a 190 in it? I'd like to see that

She's going to be up in the air in 2009 he just wrote me back. I asked if it was going to get up in the air and also if it was going to be flown fast not just slow with the gear down putting around the field like the videos I've seen. He doesnt say much but I get the feeling they will fly it like it should be flown after the first try outs.


"wait and see at first fly...2009..."

I bet this is the one that does the test

Totally other subject, but looking at the contraprops Spit, I was just thinking that Project Galba must have a Seafire 47!

Cool aircraft. Another one I like are those big Hawker Sea Furries. I think we have a white one in Canada that flys

You're welcome guys and as soon as something else big with this 190 happens I'll post it up here also.

Interesting topic here:

No ones denying the existence of the scheme... Just that it doesnt fit the model its representing

Tali-Ihantala 44

Makes brief entry in Rudorffers colours as part of nicely mixed scene of historical and
reproduced film material of Gefechtsverband Kuhlmey's and FiAF's activities.

Oh, btw female dogging about paint job of warbird...
it's just about as lame as getting kurtisan as a gift overnight from buddies and whining about her haircolour
