Ian Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Kit: Hasegawa 1:32 ‘Nowotny’ edition. Paint: All Tamiya & Lifecolour acrylics. MIG weathering pigments (wheels & tyres). Decals: Eagle Cals, MicroScale & kit. Extras: Eduard ‘Zoom’ set. Cut & dropped elevators. Cut & repositioned tail wheel & rudder. Brake lines from various gauges of fuse wire. Master MG17 barrels (not in photo). Focke-Wulf Fw190A-5 5 Staffel I/JG54 Operation ‘Zitadelle’ Summer 1943 ….and we’re done. Thoroughly enjoyed this project. Kit went together with the minimum of fuss. Camouflage came-out exactly as it looked in my head before I began, something that doesn’t happen too often. Especially happy with the weathering on the underside and the way the MIG pigments settled in to the main wheels & tyres giving a dry/dusty ‘feel’. Built for the ‘Battle of Kursk’ Campaign/Group Build on www.modelersalliance.com . As ever happy to take any questions, criticism and comments. Thanks for taking the time to look, I’m off now to start decaling my TF-104…. That’s going to keep me busy for a while !! Ian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinleeds Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Very nice weathering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Very, very nice. Only point, if I may, is the antenna cable should go over the roller (the black semicircle on the centre line of the canopy), but great to see it go inside the canopy. Particularly like the casually draped seat belt and the weathering. Super build of JG54's finest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
