Hi Guys!!
Her comes what lately left my assembly-line. Fw 190 F-8 with "Sondergerät 113".
During the war the germans had innovative ideas to fight enemy tanks from the air.
So was the "Sondergerät SG 113" developed.
It was an automatic weapon from Rheinmetall-Borsig.The shot was triggered photoelectrically. In the beginning of 1945 five Fw 190 should be equipped as a test vehicle. The weapons were mounted vertically in the wings, just behind the wheel wells.
As a result of problems with the ammunition, the development was considerably delayed.
On 27 and 28.02.1945 some testflights took place at an airfield in Böblingen near Stuttgart. There were five hits scored on a captured soviet tank.
However, after it was proven that enemy tanks in built-up areas or forests could not fight with the SG 113, the general of the battle flyer spoke out against a development of the SG 113 on 06.03.1945. In early April 1945, the work was stopped at this armament.
As a basis for this project I took Revell's Fw 190 F-8. For the SG 113 I used a resin conversion kit from Airmodel. Revell's 190 is not the first choice, but still quite useful.
The canopy is really terrible and I've also pretty messed up.
When painting, there were problems with the colors of Vallejo. Constantly the nozzle of my airbrush gun was clogged and there was no uniform spray pattern. You can see this on the lateral spot camouflage.
But I hope you still like my model!
Cheers
Stefan
