You should mix brown and green on the upper surface

 

 

 

 

 

[Krupi]

Is it definitely grey/green on the wings?

 

The profile I am using has the tail piece brown, but then they use the same for camo for Brown 18 so it might not be as good...

 

Will rework it your profile :)

[Esac_mirmidon]

Well i think it´s quite difficult to be sure about true colours from this timeframe so pick up your favourite combination.

 

Only when a real well known aircraft skin is documented you must paint it that way, so any version is valid from my point of view. Also you can see not only the colours but the wing pattern could be different.

 

I will like more the Brown - Grey - Green mix but its up to you to choose.

Hello,

here is another camo reconstruction.

 

 

[Krupi]

UPDATE SEE POST #1

 

A few things need to be corrected, number font etc...

 

I could use some help trying to find that font type.

[Esac_mirmidon]

Much much better ¡¡

 

Maybe the brown must be not so dark, less chocolate.... And the yellow strip below the engine is missing in the pics i´ve found but i like it.

[LcSummers]

Nice to have it in the future. Great stuff. Yes, the yellow undercowling was missing.

 

Its funny, there are some different camouflage schemes out there. I think i have one or two orig photos. I will search for them but i cant defenitly not say wich color it was.

 

Have the Eduard kit too.

[Charly_Owl]

Seems pretty cool! Will you ask ED to include your skin in the next patch? It's almost cruel how few skins the FW190 has by default.

[iFoxRomeo]

Nice one, Krupi!:thumbup:

Definitely a first day download:D

[Hans-Joachim Marseille]

I'm starting to think about matcha icecream :)

 

 

Very nice paintscheme.

Would soften the cream colour a bit, and use font type "Blockschrift für Flugzeuge"; http://www.dafont.com/blockschrift-fur-fl.font?text=4%3D-&psize=l.

Also use the empty "Balkenkreuz", to optimize camo effect.

Hmm, that is the lightest brown RLM 81 I can find... I will keep looking...

:megalol:

 

I am trying to find a more adequate Font but I can only find the same one that you posted :(

 

I have DIN1451 already installed, if I modify that one slightly it would work :)

For me that would work ...

 

[Krupi]

Good spot, are we sure that is WR 500647?

 

If it is I will just use the DIN1451 that I used on the wheel covers :D

Nicht ganz einwandfrei, aber wirkt überzeugend.

That's an interesting color combination. The colors do not look like the typical Luftwaffe colors, but more like those colors used by German tanks (Rotbraun, Olivgrün, and Elfenbein). Would be nice to know why those colors were chosen.

Awesome skin, btw. Can't wait to fly it.

Ok here goes

 

 

4 on the fuselage is the one in this picture the weird looking 4 is wrong.

 

 

4 on the mudguards look like this picture.

 

Numbers are not regular so impossible to find but hey look here

 

 

Good luck :)

[rrohde]

FYI- the empty Balkenkreuz can be found using this font: http://www.fonts2u.com/blockschrift-fr-flugzeuge.font

[Krupi]

UPDATE #2

 

Fuselage Cross Corrected

 

Numbering Corrected

Well now that makes 4 different versions of the font :huh:

 

Thanks for the info :)

[rrohde]

UPDATE #2

 

Fuselage Cross Corrected

 

Numbering Corrected

 

 

 

Fantastic! Can't wait! :)

[rrohde]

So do we have any history on why the livery looks like it does (hotch-potch color scheme)? Curious to find out.

[Krupi]

Tail is from a Ta 152, it should be a large one ;)

 

I think the engine had to be replaced... etc It would be nice to get some more info

[Krupi]

Okay so I am trying to figure out what to do about the numbers, I tried to up scale the numbers that Mainstay posted but my GIMP skills are not good enough to do a satisfactory job.

 

While I am fine tuning everything, what do we have on the Undersurface?

 

From my source it says....

 

Front half RLM 75 Gray-Violet, Rear half Natural Metal...
