Airfix Focke-Wulf 190D - FInished 15/12/13

Hi All,

I'm keen to do a second model in this group build and acquired an Airfix 190D for 3.99 from the LMS. I'm going to keep the Monogram Typhoon for the D-Day GB and the Stirling for the Bomber Command GB! :winkgrin: Is this kit OK to join the GB?

Time to crack on with this one, so building OOTB in the tradition of such a kit:

Get the wings attatched:

and finally the tailplanes fitted:

And it looks like an FW190!

Now to prepare it for painting.

I have some of the Humbrol RLM colours for this one in acrylic as there were no enamel equivilents at the rack in the LMS. Does anyone know how they brush paint? Or is airbrushing the best way to go (I have never attempted German camo with an airbrush before). I'm using this as a bit of a Guinea pig as I have my eye on some Eduard WW2 German planes.

I have cracked on with this, with the enthusiasm of my first foray of building kits way back when, in order to meet the GB deadline. I'm doing the stripy one, so that is the next job to do. I was going to mask the red/white striping underneath, but I've decided to use the kit transfers. I brush painted using the new RLM Humbrol acrylics - No's 247, 252 and 253. I picked these after looking at an Eduard instruction sheet for their 1/48 kit of the same plane. Hopefully it looks OK ( a bit of touching up needed/fit the guns/pitot tube I snapped off!).

I have decalled the underneath now and it came out much better than I thought it might. Just applying the rest of the decals and the prop,undercarriage and canopy need sorting.

Sorry about the picture - I hoped for a bit of a better effect, but time is running low!

Thanks for the GB, its been the first I have taken part in and its has been great watching all the great builds here!

Cheers, Rob.
