Hi all - seeing that it seems to be the year of the Focke Wulf, here is my latest version - Tamiya's FW 190 D9 in 1/72. This is the second time I've done this kit since my return - basically the first attempt came out awful - I was still brush painting at that stage and my attempts at getting a mottled effect was a total fail. I really love this plane so I'm glad I was able to produce something a little more presentable at the second attempt. Still far from my lofty goals but a definite improvement. I've got the 1/48 version in the stash so it won't be long before I'm having yet another crack
This version was built pretty much OOB - I replaced the wing gun barrels with needles and added some mig rigging for the antennae wire. Wings and fuselage fell victim to my riveting tool. Painted with Tamiya Acrylics, weathered with oils and pigments. I went a bit crazy with the weathering on the drop tank - this was an experiment using the hair spray technique - but apparently very worn drop tanks were quite common especially late war. The pylon holding the tank probably shouldn't be weathered to the same level so this is my mistake.
Thanks for looking...!
