Duncan B Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Here is my Tamiya Fw190D9 finished as Yellow 4 of 11/JG54 as flown by Gefr. Werner Merz from Oldenberg in the autumn of 1944. The model was built OOB except for the gun barrels and the pitot tube which are made from Albion Alloys tubing. The decals are from the Kagero Fw190 Volume 4 book which includes a profile of this aircraft. Painted using Mr Color acrylics and weathered using various pastels and Mig enamel washes.

tank152 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Another top draw spray job although the upper surface colours look at little light, the RLM75 especially which is strange as you use Gunze, must be due to the lighting or flash? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 I can't remember what happened with the top colours but I did have to do a respray and it turned out lighter but I liked the look so left it be. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 You have either used a very dark RLM 70 on the propeller blades or you have painted them black. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Subtle weathering is an art form in itself I believe - and you have it mastered. Especially like the curly bit on the prop cone - in 1/72 that must have been a story in itself. Nice one Duncan, Cheers, Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank152 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 You have either used a very dark RLM 70 on the propeller blades or you have painted them black. Chris RLM70 is a very dark green! If you compare the blades to the spinner, which is painted black, you can see there is a difference between the two. Tim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Thanks folks, painting the spinner was interesting. The props are painted (Mr Hobby) RLM70 as per standard Luftwaffe aircraft of the period. Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you compare the blades to the spinner, which is painted black, you can see there is a difference between the two. Tim. I know what RLM 70 is and what it's supposed to look like. It just seems very dark in Duncan's pictures. I copied the images and inlarged them and can see the slight contrast now, but not on the original posted pics.

Duncan B Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 I'm happy enough with the prop colour it's the camo colours that are all over the place but I quite like them so that's how I left it. Both the Tamiya and Hasegawa Fw190D kits have the wheel wells fully boxed in which is wrong for the Dora but I'm not going to worry about it, not enough time and too many models in the stash to bother.

dogsbody Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Other than my question regarding the prop colour, I quite like the job you've done. I particularly like the fine scalloping you've done on the forward fuselage top colour. Very nice. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich G Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Lovely job Duncan, especially on how accurate the paint job is, german WW2 schemes always scare me because of the mottling, you've done a great job with this one! Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
