Airfix Focke-Wulf 190 F-8 1/72

Hi Guys,

So, my third ever aircraft along now, the Fw190... What drew me towards this was more or less the winter camouflage.

Construction was easy enough, apart from when I went to put the propeller/engine plug-like module into the nose and cracked the fuselage in two. Of course this was only after I had painted, weathered and pretty much finished it! 
Painted the beast in Xtracolour Enamels, and did the red nose and fuselage band with Humbrol Enamel. The winter camouflage was Humbrol Enamel also and went on over the decals and a thick coat of Klear so it could be removed if disliked. Finished with panel line oil wash and basic chipping. Last touch was of course trying to put the fuselage back together! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking guys!

While you can see where the fuselage cracked it doesn't detract from the fact that this is a very good effort for only your third wingy thing!

 

Great paint work on this pugnacious little fighter!

Ambitious build and very good looking camouflage!

 

It pays to be anal about geometry, though – the head-on photo shows the wheels tilted at different angles… ;-)

 

Good work on the cammo – keep at it!

 

Kind regards,
