simmo Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 (edited) This my latest model Hasegawa 1.32 Fw 190A5. Built out of the box apart from true details cockpit which I wish I had not bothered. the true details cockpit I found to be very brittle and even after sawing sanding and filing still did not fitted as I thought it would but there you go wont buy that again! Painted with tamiya paints and aztec 470 brush There are decal markings because the decals I had put came to a unfortunate end when handling the model I forgot about the setting solution I had applied.So they rubbed off and curled away to my horror. After much swearing and cursing and random death threats to anyone near by I have applied a "generic" set of decals of a unmarked a/c. I finished off using the model to practice my mottling and weathering skills. Although disapointed that I could not finish the model as I wanted I am pleased with the overall result and I think it passes the 6ft test. Please feel free to comment as all comments are welcome Martin. Edited November 10, 2007 by simmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallachytom Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Well done, simmo, that's an excellent model. I just hope my FW 190 F-8 in 1/48 comes out half as good (when i find the time to finish it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope my FW 190 F-8 in 1/48 comes out half as good (when i find the time to finish it.) I hope its not eduard because I have the A5 and the fit is terrible from the cockpit tub to the engine bulk head to the wings halves. It demoralised me that much I put it back in the box before I binned it. I will try again when I have the patience to hve another go.
