Finishing touches - part I

Then the time has come to start the final phase of the restoration.
Paint, markings and these other final details.
Now, before every reader throws themselves at the keyboards with the intent of complaining and/or correcting the work Tor is doing, keep in mind that the original markings were present when Tor
salvaged the wreck back in the eigthies.
We are aware of the fact that the number 3 is bigger than most FW 190 markings, and that the placement is possibliy a bit off in comparison to the "normal" placement.
However, the original markings are replicated, and not the standard "by the book" markings.



















There is an enormous interest in German WWII aircraft, and a lot of self-appointed experts, (author of this blog is NOT), but in this case we fortunately have the data that eliminates all guesswork. 

Furthermore, we are looking forward to receiving the wing, that currently is undergoing final paint 
at the workshop, and will keep you all posted when i arrives at the museum.
