MKHL FW-190 F-8 Revell 1/72

[Borisz]

Hi, everybody.
Today I'd like to show you something unique.
First, I start with the kit. In 1/72 scale the Revell have a nice line of FW-190 in different modifications, but the main kit is allways the same. As I see, its a good one, there are just some smaller and one big problems.
The smallers are 4ie. the huge rivets around the cockpit, some fiction with the panel lines of the wings, and a litle burr. The biggest is the central wall between the main landing gears's bays. But dont give a ... the building can be pretty fast because the parts fits well.
I made only some little scratch upgrades such as pitot tube, the barells of the guns, exhaust made from injection needles, the shader sheet of the dashboard replaced with a thin aluminium plate, and the canopy a wacuum formed one insted of the opaline horror given by the Revell. And the wing pilons are home made too.

The painting:
There was no hesitation, I wanted to do it with Hungarian markings. I already had the HAD's mixed decal sheet (http://www.hadmodels.com/matric%C3%A1k%20/rep%C3%BCl%C5%91g%C3%A9pekhez/1:72/72061_bf__109_ju_87d_fw_190_f_8_matrica_172_1305) so I made the W+521. They were painted to the Luftwaffe standard, the only differences are the national and tachtical markings of the Magyar Királyi Honvéd Légierő - Royal Hungarian (deffense) Air Force.
The paint are the according Model Master RLM colours.

 

The barrels of the guns needed some upgrade and also some exgaust holes were missing.
