Lt. Theo Nibel's Fw 190 D-9, 'Black 12'.

Amazing finish, another example to show the other half why I need an AB!

Thanks Ian. I don't think anyone needs an airbrush but on the other hand I don't see how this sort of paint job can be done otherwise. The bottom line is that the original aircraft were sprayed and obviously so.

One of the reasons I enjoy Luftwaffe subjects (apart from the variety) is that on this model, with the exception of the black exhaust panels and canopy, I didn't mask anything. It's all sprayed freehand, which is a bonus as I dislike masking and developed something of an aversion to it after my zebra striped Serengeti Dornier

Cheers
