Butcher Bird: Egon Mayer's Fw 190 A-5 *PICS*

…Egon developed the “head-on” attack method against Allied bombers while serving on the stab of III/JG2…he was lost on March 2, 1944 after tangling w/ Thunderbolts…

Comments are sought…

Very nice work there Manny. You love that ‘Valeted’ look to your models dont ya. It looks fantastic though bud. What scale is it and who makes it. Did you do the panel lines with a sharpie or were they washed?

Looks great! Have you been watching the History Channel lately? There was a Dogfights episode about Thunderbolts that showed Egon Mayers FW-190.

…thanks, that is the Tamiya offering in 48th scale and the panels were scribed with draftman’s pencils…yes, I did see that episode…Friday nights are DOGFIGHT NIGHTS!..

…for ya’ll Dogfight buffs, I’ll be posting a “THUD” soon…

Another beautiful bird, Eric! I have that exact kit with the same markings in my case, doesn’t even begin to compare with your work. PLEASE keep posting pics of your birds, truly awe-inspiring!

…thanks…I will keep posting as long as I get comments, good and bad…

Wow that looks great Manny.[tup] I like how the panel lines stand out, Excellent Job.

You can put this on your Good Comment list if you keep posting.[:-,]

Very nice work- great paint and decal work. I like seeing birds “clean” like this- very well done.

That’s another nice clean build Manstein. You do build a clean strait model. I’ll just ask now How many of these do you have??[:D]

…A LOT…
