Michael louey Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Another of my recent builds I finally uploaded to my new hosting account - Eduard's Fw 190A-5. This is the Weekender edition and is the aircraft of Oblt Rolf Strohal of Stab/JG1 The members at 72nd Scale Aircraft have compiled a nice set of build notes for the Eduard kits and you really need to have a look to avoid nasty surprises late in your build. (See link here: http://s15.zetaboards.com/72nd_Aircraft/topic/812177/1/#new). It's nowhere near as easy a build as the Hasegawa kit but is much more detailed (and much more accurate for the A-5). Libor's build was useful to work out how the inner gear covers fitted. Once you look at it, it makes sense as the covers include a cutout for the shell ejection chutes. Hopefully Neil (Falkeins) is online soon as he is very interested in JG1 machines.

Spitfire31 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Very neat Würger! That Eduard kit is a temptation on my horizon… The fuselage Balkenkreuz and the fin Hakenkreuz decals look a bit 'glued on top', since the underlying panel lines aren't continued on them… Nice modelling, and thank you for the link to the kit experiences on 72nd Aircraft! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're looking at a model for ages, some things just don't register anymore. When others have a look, especially in high detail, they spot issues like this. Part of the problem is my solution to the RLM 74 centres to the fuselage Balkenkreuz. I sprayed a 2nd decal with grey and put the white Balkenkreuz over it. This extra thickness makes it harder to conform to panel lines. I spent some time this evening after work applying more of my strongest decal softener and reapplying the wash. Looks better but far from perfect! Don't think I'll worry about updating the pictures. Cheers Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael louey Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Though I wasn't planning to add the updated photos of the 190 discussed with Joachim, I had to setup the camera gear again for some Tintin subjects (see other topics) so I decided to shoot the 190 with decals redone to show the difference. As I said earlier, nowhere near perfect but hopefully an improvement. Cheers Michael 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
