I'm sorry, but I do not draw airliner models anymore. The last one I made some 6 years ago and now I make only military aircraft and warships.

As you may have noticed, when choosing camouflages, I try to choose both the absolutely typical ones and the attractive ones (machines of well-known aces, distinctively colored ones, etc.). This has been proven now, with the Focke-Wulf FW-190A-5 version. I chose perhaps the most colourful machines of the whole "FW" family:
- Focke-Wulf FW-190A-5 (Luftwaffe, JgGr Ost, Maj. Hermann Graf, Bordeaux AB, spring 1943) - the aircraft of the famous ace, the first German fighter to achieve 200 kills. It will definitely fit my model #87 - Bf-109 by the same pilot.
- Focke-Wulf FW-190A-5 (Luftwaffe, 5-JG54, Oblt. Maximilian Stotz, Siverskaya AB, May 1943) - all FW-190s from Jagdgeschwader 54 Grünherz were uncharacteristically camouflaged with large areas of green. The machine of Oblt. Stotz's was, however, camouflaged at the front, using the colors that were just available and in an absolutely amateurish and chaotic manner. The colours extend over the crests, the fields are differently designed in each place... just beautiful :-)
- Focke-Wulf FW-190A-5/U-8 (Luftwaffe, 1-SKG 10, Uffz. Werner Öhne, Poix AB, June 1943) - one of the Jabo machines that attacked the south of England in 1943 by night with the "Hit and Run" tactic. The standard camouflage was hastily repainted black underneath. The machine is equipped with 2 additional tanks and a 250 kg bomb.

Again great versions you choose my friend!

[Gerry1966]

It's time for the A-6 version. Again, 3 attractive pieces.
- Luftwaffe, 1/JG1, Lt. Heinz-Günther Lück, Deelen AB, August 1943
- Luftwaffe, 5/JG54, Oblt. Helmut Radtke, Immola AB, Finland, summer 1944
- Luftwaffe, III/JG11, Hptm. Anton Hackl, Oldenburg AB, March 1944

In our "Fighter Focke-Wulfs" series, we go back to a time when the Luftwaffe was losing its dominance and the skies over Germany were full of American four-engine bombers. There's the A-7 version:
- Focke-Wulf FW-190A-7 (Luftwaffe, 7-JG26, Oblt. Waldemar Radener, Cambrai-Süd AB, May 1944)
- Focke-Wulf FW-190A-7 (Luftwaffe, II-JG1, Maj. Heinz Bär, Störmede AB, April 1944)
- Focke-Wulf FW-190A-7 (Luftwaffe, Sturmstaffel 1, Maj. Hans-Günther von Kornatzki, Salzwedel AB, February 1944)

And next up would be the most widely used version of the A-8. This one won't be as simple (3 machines as before), because besides the classic fighters you will also see the heavily armed R2 Sturmbock and the R11 Neptune night fighters.

I think it's getting boring. But I hope not for you. Up next, the ultimate end-of-war version, the A-8. It'll be in two batches, the first being the classic "light" fighters. Specifically:
- Focke-Wulf FW-190A-8 (Luftwaffe, 7-JG300, Lt. Gustav Salffner, Lobnitz AB, March 1945)
- Focke-Wulf FW-190A-8 (Luftwaffe, 12-JG5, Lt. Rudolf Linz, Herdla AB, January 1945)
- Focke-Wulf FW-190A-8 (Luftwaffe, I-JG11, unknown pilot, Darmstadt AB, spring 1945).
And I already have the heavy version A-8/R8 Sturmbock machines in progress.

Amazing FW-190's

[Gerry1966]

And here are the promised Sturmbocks, a specialized version of the FW-190A-8 designed to fight Flying Fortresses. These are the following machines:
- Focke-Wulf FW-190A-8/R8 (Luftwaffe, 6.(Sturm)/JG300, Uffz. Paul Lixfeld, Löbnitz AB, December 1944)
- Focke-Wulf FW-190A-8/R8 (Luftwaffe, II.(Sturm)/JG4, Hptm. Gerhard Schröder, Welzow AB, September 1944)
- Focke-Wulf FW-190A-8/R8 (Luftwaffe, 5/JG300, Oblt. Klaus Bretschneider, Löbnitz AB, December 1944)

[Gerry1966]

The series of fighter "Focs" with radial engines is slowly coming to an end, I have already prepared the last variant Fw-190A-9. The following versions are ready:
- Focke-Wulf FW-190A-9 (Luftwaffe, III-KG(J)27, Wels am Wagram AB, May 1945)
- Focke-Wulf FW-190A-9 (Luftwaffe, II-JG301, Bad Langensalza AB, May 1945)
- Focke-Wulf FW-190A-9 (Luftwaffe, 13-JG54, Gardelegen AB, December 1944)

And next time there will be a specialty, namely a night version, nicknamed Neptune

Is hard to build when release what version build...
