Der Nachtjägerwürger… The New ACE-211 FW-190A8/R11 Model (3 Viewers)

The night fighting shrike… Here’s yet JJD FW-190 post; however, I received the new ACE-211 FW-190A8/R11 night fighter model yesterday and it’s a beauty!

John outdid his previous efforts with the quality of the paint, mottling, and weathering on this model. The radar antennas come pre-attached and mine was perfect right from the box.

For my display, I just switched out the aircraft model and figures from the Priller FW-190 display I posted pics of a couple days ago. The figures here are from the JJD Spanish Civil War Condor Legion sets COND 05P and 06 and have been partially repainted to more closely resemble WWII-era Luftwaffe personnel.

Please enjoy some pics of this excellent model

Tristan,
Well done display. What are the antenna like projection from the wings?

Thanks Mike and 29 Let’s Go!

This FW-190 was a night fighter and the antennas on the wings are for the FuG 218 Neptun J3 radar system the aircraft was equipped with. This aircraft was also modified with a pair of flame damper fins over the exhaust stacks, which John has replicated. Overall, this is just a unique and interesting variation of the FW-190 for Kohn to depict.

Jon makes some terrific models, Tristan, and you surround them with equally terrific dioramas!
