Parabat Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 This is my other Fw 190, the Fw 190A-9 of JG.301 which was found abandoned/captured at Bad Langensalza at the war end. I used the Hasegawa 1/48 kit, and combined some of the painting advice from the Eduard ProfiPack instructions. As with the A-5, I used Eduard seatbelts, Master Brass barrels and added hair antenna and toothbrush bristle 'gear down' indicators on the wings. Paints used were enamels, Humbrol, Xtracolour and White Ensign Models. I used the kit decals which I succesfully 'nuked' with MicroSol - it worked well. A nice kit to build, I made life hard for myself, but I'm happy with the result. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PZRGREN Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I like your paint work, the mottling especially. Roger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thanks, I bought a .2mm airbrush which has paid dividends in getting fine mottle to be an easy job. The matt (Humbrol) has dried a bit 'chalky' unfortunately, but I can live with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batcode Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 another nice 190, great job on the paint and finish, nice work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 That's one good-looking 190. Like Roger, I think the mottling is particularly effective (especially as I struggle to successfully airbrush one uniform colour!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mooney Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Good job you have done on that 190 Para, congrats and keep them coming! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Very nice, I particularly like the late war colours. Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thanks for the kind comments guys. David, I have quite a few more 190's, I'll definitely try to keep the RFI population going! Duncan,yes, the late war camo definitely has 'something about it'. Troy made a good point in the WIP thread about the underwing and gear cover colour wrap potentially being a primer, but who's to really say without agonising over it too much? All good stuff to challenge the modeller! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Moon Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Very attractive scheme and another masterful build. H 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
