Roman Schilhart Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Hello and thanks for your interest in this topic. This is my interpretation of "White 70" from Stab/Schlachtgeschwader 10, which was one of the last defenders of Vienna in spring 1945. The unit operated from various aifields in Czechia, attacking Russian tank columns approaching the Austrian border. In the closing weeks of the war, the remains of the unit were withdrawn to the Austrian airfields of Bad Vöslau, Markersdorf, Hörsching, Wels and Zeltweg. (source: http://www.ww2.dk/air/attack/sg10.htm). Do the markings look familiar to you? Yes, they're the same as in the new 1/32 Revell kit. The decals I used come from Techmod. I managed to break up one of the "70" due to mishandling them and found replacement on an old Aeromaster sheet. Color callouts for this machine vary considerably; Revell suggests RLM83/75, Techmod calls for RLM74/75, while the Aeromaster sheet identifies the colors as RLM81/83.I went with Revell's suggestion. The kit is Airfix F-8; photo-etch pieces from Brengun. Pitot tube is a metal piece from Master Model. The bomb load comes from the kit, 4x 50kg Bombs plus a AB250 Abwurfbehälter (a cluster bomb containing butterflies). Painted with acrylics from the Gunze/Mr.Hobby range.

bristol boy Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Very impressive for 1/72 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 fully agree - not looks like 1/72 - rather 1/48 or even bigger. Very nice Fw190! Like it. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrlx Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Excellent! The paint finish and weathering are superb! Congrats on a great job! Do you have a WIP of the build? I have this kit in my stash. I may build it next year in the Fw 190 GB. Cheers Jaime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daldroflas Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Wow! Simply wonderful. As others have said, the impression is of a much larger model. Your attention to detail is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epeeman Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 A really lovely model of the FW190 - especially impressive in such small scale. Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight_Flyer Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Very well executed build and great result with the subtle weathering. I initially thought it was 1/48 until I read the title again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doozer1974 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Great looking Wurg! As others have said, could easily think that was in a much bigger scale - good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Brilliant job on the Wurger! I have to say the ground-attack versions are my favourite. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Russell Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 That's a really nice job you have done - I'm inspired. A WIP would probably be just as interesting. Good historical background and interpretational work too. I must say I find those "it doesn't look like 1/72" comments a bit weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Schilhart Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Excellent! The paint finish and weathering are superb! Congrats on a great job! Do you have a WIP of the build? I have this kit in my stash. I may build it next year in the Fw 190 GB. Cheers Jaime Jamie, unfortunately I only took one image (apart from the cockpit interior shown above) from the construction process: Some of the kit's parts were warped - most affected were the upper wings and the cockpit insert - so I had to put some moderate pressure on the airframe to get the parts to fit. The plastic Airfix used is relatively soft, so take care when cutting the parts from the sprue, especially around the engine cowling. The main "error" of the kit is the undercarriage. It is fully elevated, e.g. in the take-off position. That's why the Airfix kit sits too "high". I have to add though, this is only noticable when directly compared to another manufacturer's kit (Hasegawa, Revell, etc.). All in all, I'd say this is a great little kit and can absolutely recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
