Mr. Hudson Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Hi all, here is my new 1/72 Eduard Fw 190 A-8 (late) "black 10": The kit: The eduard kit is probably the best 1/72 Fw 190 on the market. The kit parts and also the brassin aftermarket parts fit together very well. The surface details are fantastic. Original aircraft: The Fw 190 was a very durable construction. Equipped with a BMW 801 D star engine, the aircraft could be used for a variety of operational configurations. The A-8, which was built from mid-1944 onwards, was equipped with four 20 mm MG 151s and two 13 mm MG 131s. My model: My model represents the black 10, I./JG 11 in Darmstadt which was participated in the defense of the Reich (Reichsverteidigung) at the end of the WW II. Construction: The Eduard kit is not easy to build but with a lot of dry fiting you can put all parts together without putty and sanding. I have used some Brassin Detail-Sets (fuselage MG 131 and flaps) which i can highly recommend. Several details (e.g. brake lines, MG 151, position lights, antennae) were scratch built. The kit was painted with Gunze acrylics and Alclad II metalics. I built two Fw 190 at the same time: Weathering: Preshading, postlighting, Tamiya Smoke for traces of oil and gas plume, various oil and pastell colors for dirt and wear, silver pin for scratches. Walk arround: Bottom: Details: I hope you like this model. Criticism, notes, and comments are gladly welcome. Merry christmas!

Alpha Delta 210 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Amazing build. I genuinely didn't believe it was 1/72! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Woo-hah! That is one of the best renditions of this kit I have seen so far. (And one of the best 72 scale models I've seen this year!) I had to check twice for the scale! Your paintwork is superb, as is your build & attention to details. Honestly, it can't go any better than this. Congratulations, you really set a mark here for all small scale modelers (like me). Best greetings from Vienna, Roman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
