FW190D9 escort for Israeli SAR and anti tank a/c...

[Army of One]

Started this one a while ago.....had intended to finish it with the 3 Israeli attackers I did...the Hs129, Il2 and Ju87G.....
The story for this would sort of be the same....a number of airframes obtained from Czechoslovakia and then cannibalised to form flying airframes...the wing root 20mm were retained but the cowling and outer wing guns are .50cal.....the a/c were assembled painted and with bare minimum markings put into combat...this example is pretty fresh.....they soon began to show the signs of high use in a hot climate....although serviceability remained high among the examples obtained.....

Looks great......I like it

It does look good. Kind of simple and plain, but maybe that`s just the lack of markings ?

[Army of One]

Camo painted, national markings and out to fight....... .......that's how I get over lack of decals from my decal bank.......

Either that or it's modelled on a photo of a repainted aircraft in a museum...

Of course, the aircraft delivered from Czechoslovakia were delivered in an overall RLM 02 scheme (although some researchers think it may have actually been old stocks of RLM 63) and carried Yugoslav markings for part of their ferry flight.
