polkenti Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Hello, This Tamiya one just about to be completly finished. Just few little details and dirt to add, but it's more or less how i'm imagining it !!! Thanks for looking and for the Wembley support !!!

Nachtwulf Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Your paint job is wonderful! What did you use for the final clear coat? It reflects nicely like the real thing without looking to shiny. -Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polkenti Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Thanks Dale, No clear at this stage; i don't like using it. Just clothe polished a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Very nice, although strictly speaking, it's an A-8/R7 or R8 if it's got the extra armour fitted. thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalkeEins Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) although strictly speaking, it's an A-8/R7 or R8 if it's got the extra armour fitted. thanks Mike I'm sure we've had this discussion before ...but according to Rodeike's 'Jagdflugzeug 190' the key change for the R8 relates to the uprated TU or TS engine to replace the BMW 801 D - if available.... There were other detail amendments for 'R8' mainly involving additional internal armour protection (for the oil cooler) which would not be an issue for the modeller.. http://falkeeins.blogspot.co.uk/2010/09/difference-between-fw190a-8r2-and-8r8.html Edited November 21, 2015 by FalkeEins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I'm going off the official designations, as I've always said, what happened in real life could have been different with all the confusion in the last year of the war... thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
