Thanks guys, and no problem Igor. I guessed a few people would want to know what it will look like, which is exactly why I'm doing it - I want to know too! Apart from the main landing gear, I've always thought the 'Zero' had a certain Germanic look about it, and often wondered how it would look in Luftwaffe colours - should find out soon, I hope!!

German ones!!
Sorry, couldn't resist that reply! I'm using some decals from the spares box, and possibly some hand-painted markings too. Coincidentally, the JG4 badge and most of the decals are left over from the 21st Century Toys Bf109G I did last year, plus some from an Eagle Cals sheet.

Thanks guys, and get those 'protection Flight' birds going Jan.
Wayne, I'm not sure though whether this 'Arado 290A' is a short tailed or long tailed version.........

Terry, did you try and compare the photographs you have of your fuselage against any other known photos?

Nice build you have going, I like the scenario!

Ah well Dave, I compared it against this photo of the surving Ar290A-2 (the third prototype, V153/290), but, due to the angle, the results were inconclusive!
