GREG DESTEC Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 Hi Stix, Excellent Fw 190, with great photos to show off your hard work. Well done
PlaStix Posted August 22, 2016 Author Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Nice. Would like to get into doing some Luftwaffe aircraft myself, just can't stand the idea of doing mottling and stuff like it, especially on their north African birds. Thank you very much Raven Morpheus. For the bit of mottling I had to do on the fin I used a very small stippling brush and applied the paint very thinned and built it up slowly. It seemed to work okay. Hi Stix, Excellent Fw 190, with great photos to show off your hard work. Well done Thank you very much Greg, that's very kind of you. Kind regards, Stix Edited August 22, 2016 by PlaStix
PlaStix Posted August 22, 2016 Author Posted August 22, 2016 Hi all. Troy Smith spotted in my earlier photos that there was a problem with the gear doors - I had shortened the legs a touch but hadn't altered the doors. I have now corrected the problem and retaken the photos. As the light seemed better I have taken a few more which I have included in the first post. Thank you to Troy again. KInd regards, Stix
stevehnz Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Those exttra photos with the better lighting really do show it to advantage. I'm even more impressed with your effort now. One in my future for sure. I like your thinned paint for mottle hint too. Thanks. Steve. 1

BerndM Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 A fine build and well presented. Its not the best of Airfix new tool kits and you are probably right about the worth of this kit as a starter kit. Well done ! 1
sean Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 Just found this myself Stix, excellent result. Building this one at the minute, it's very trying in places, especially around the cowling, but hopefully it will turn out alright, Sean 1
Rich G Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 Really nice job, the paintwork is spot on to my eye. Rich 1

It is a shame Airfix didn't do a batter job with some areas of this kit but it is what it is. On 08/10/2016 at 9:45 PM, sean said: Just found this myself Stix, excellent result.

Hope your build of this kit is progressing well - definitely one to take your time over in places! On 08/10/2016 at 9:58 PM, Rich G said: Really nice job, the paintwork is spot on to my eye.

Mark4700 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Fantastic finish. I'm particularly impressed with the stripe on the spinner. 1
PlaStix Posted October 12, 2016 Author Posted October 12, 2016 Hi Mark and thank you. I was really worried about doing the spinner spiral - I'd read so many horror stories about the decal getting tangled up that I ended up suspending it between two cocktail sticks as part of the application process. It was bit nerve racking at times but I was surprised and pleased with the result. Thank you again, Kind regards, Stix
