Some compromise must be done with weathering. It may be not so historically accurate to have too much weathering, but gives a lot to the immersion. I wouldn’t change it at all, its good how it is now. Like I said, FlushMeister you did really outstanding job. FW wasn't of my favorite planes, but I can hardly wait to try this yours.

Not to be forgotten that even chemical formula of colors of that period was somewhat different then today is, and that planes was made in war production, meaning it was fast and not so perfect.

FockeWulf is famous for its fast and easy production, thanks to the ingenious constructions of Dr. Tank.

Also, many of the German war time planes were produced at dislocated factories, in railway tunnels, caves, even in schools. Some of them were produced using slave labor of prisoners. All of that affects look and perfection of the planes.


On Trooper's picture it is so obviously modern made replica of cockpit. It is too perfect for war time period production. We are now with the technology available today, so used to that everything is made perfect, that sometimes we forgot how it was made back then, and how items made back then looks amazingly imperfect to us. Because it was made almost (semi) manually.

I was amazed how imperfect, almost childish are looking war time British gauges and indicators, on some of them you can see that digits was obviously hand painted with fine brush.

Here is one german indicator.
