FW 190 Radial engine paint, markings, and production: NDW [McDermott, Bryan] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. FW 190 Radial engine paint, markings, and production: NDW Review: The best examination of this subject... - ...by far. Long time Luftwaffe modeler, especially in late war camo and markings. I've read practically everything out there, analyzed the differences of opinions, and reached my own conclusions. This author has done a very comprehensive study and his findings really resonate with me. If you cross the exigencies of wartime, with the de-centralization of production, and supply/transportation issues, with the individual interpretation of directives by the various factories, and even individuals, what you would end up with is something very close to the photographic evidence, as presented here. So for modelers of late war FW-190A8/F8 production, here you go. A new twist the author brings to the table is tying the most likely factory, to the style of components seen, and then using this as a guide to provisionally recreate the finish of those other parts, un-seen. He does this by tying together those factories which most likely provided sub-components to each other, in each Werk Number block. This is huge for the modeler; from one or two photos you can provisionally re-create the whole aircraft, with a higher amount of probable accuracy than before. This whole 3-part series gives you more bang for the buck than many other references combined. Highly recommended. Review: Excellent information - Look forward to the remaining issues

La información desplegada es muy valiosa pero la edición es horrible. Es una pena que no se cuide más la manera en presentar el esfuerzo de recabar tantos datos, podría ser una excelente guía.

I can only confirm what other, more-detailed reviews say about this series; the books are extremely well researched and invaluable to model builders and anyone else interested in the “Butcher Bird”. Top notch!

Le thème abordé est très intéressant. Cependant, déçu par la qualité de base du papier employé. Ça mérité mieux !

Das ca. 1 cm starke Büchlein kam gut verpackt an. Die bunt bedruckten Titel- und Rückseiten sind, vermutlich aufgrund einer Laminierung, nach oben gewölbt. Auch ist die Qualität der Abbildungen auf beiden Umschlagseiten eher ganz am unteren Qualitätsbereich. Ich vermute, meine Meinung, das Büchlein wird auf Bestellung digital gedruckt. Muss ja nicht schlecht sein. Ich habe das Büchlein noch nicht zu Ende gelesen, aber was mich gleich vehement gestört hat, ist die Schriftart der Zwischen- und Bildtitel. Sehr schlecht lesbar für mich. Die Farbgrafiken der einzelnen Tarnungen sind fast nur von der linken Seite gezeigt. Die eingestreuten s/w Bilder für mich größtenteils neu. Schon auf den ersten Seiten sind mir Schreibfehler und Inkonsistenzen der Schreibweisen aufgefallen. Im Inhaltsbereich ist eine der Produktionsstätten unterstrichen. Nur, warum? Zurzeit bin ich unentschlossen, ob ich mir die weiteren Bände kaufen werde.
