.....when I say whose I mean Air Force n not the manufacturer....I bought them cheap of fleabay in Hobby Kits Master Craft boxes....lovely art work....but the disappointing old Hasegawa kit inside (Wooks you were correct....!!)......both kits thrown together,literally,in an evening. Fit ain't great but just wanted to do something quick......I had started on my Sci-Fi drop ship thing but with lack of good time,just an hour or two here n there.....I wanted something to do.
So,under coated and awaiting paint....but whose...?? I know what they will be but anyone got any ideas....?? One will be WW2 the other will be a few years after.....


Many thanks.........H

Post war:
Spain - in overall painted aluminium, like their Hs123's or that really nice deep royal blue their Buchons had.
Israel - overall light blue/grey (light compass grey would look good).
Argentina - Pick a scheme !!

Late WWII
Romanian - in any of the late war schemes, but with lots of yellow theatre markings to lighten-it-up.
Italian - but in the splinter scheme/pattern that those very late G55's had.

A Finnish one wouldn't be totally far fetched.

Green and black topside, light blue bottom. Blue hakaristi for late WW2, blue and white roundels for post-war, assuming the result of WW2 is about the same as in real life.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

So...nice build.... once time I was draw few Finnish "Doras".... Here (down) they are : http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,29685.690.html  and "post-war scheme" is on next page....

Army of One

Panther....the top one out of the two is like the scheme I was going to do.....probably with a lighter blue underside.....my reference is the Osprey aircraft of the aces n obviously the Finnish aces one.....there is one scheme on a 1944 Me109G that I like....with the yellow cowling/wing tip an fuselage band.....H

Having just read this review I was going to suggest French post War Aeronavale but look forward to a Romanian / Finnish one

The Wooksta!

AFAIK, they're Polish copies of the original Hasegawa 190D.  That was always a nice kit to build, just not very accurate...

Personally, a Czech Air Police one, in RLM02 with red engine cowl and leading edges would looks spiffing.

A Google image search should reveal lots of those. Finnish Gustavs started life in German camo and got the darker Finnish colors when it was time to overhaul them.

Wooks....the plastic is not as good as the Hase stuff.....it also has a very subtle 'texture' to it....not smooth as a babies like the Hase ones I have in the stash....ur idea may go on the spare I have....
Perttime....there is a profile like that in the aces book,all the others are in Luftwaffe colours an it was that one that was my inspiration.....
Not sure what colour for my Israeli one....grey n sand camo or overall RLM2....or something else....??

Overall RLM 02, like the S-199s.  May need a sand filter on the supercharger intake though.
