FW-190F-8/M82

 

In 1944 the soviets captured a Focke Wulf 190 and replaced the engine and cowling by the one from a Lavochkin La-5. Kind of a rhinoplasty if you think about it.

The paint job is completely hypothetical as I was unable to find any picture -only line drawings- of this aircraft. I aimed for something that would look like most of the soviet fighters in the '44-'45 era. 

The Fw-190 is the ARII kit, the nose from the La-5 is from Hobbycraft. Scale is 1/48
