Focke-Wulf 190
A-6 - Orel - Russian Front, Summer 1943
This is no recent
build, but I could shoot her again under a beautiful summer sun a few weeks
ago.

She is under the
markings of the JG54, engaged during the gigantic battle of Kursk in July
/ August 1943. The Fw 190 A-6 was the latest version at that moment,
freshly received at front, direct from the factory. But like most of
the machines of the JG54, this plane has been repainted "on the
field" in very original colours.
Then, the main
challenge in weathering was to perform it "with a light touch",
rather insisting on the omnipresent dust that covered everything than
representing traces of time outrage...
Hope you'll
enjoy...
Merci,
Olivier Barles
