Neil.C Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Well, here's my second effort, a Revell Focke-Wulf 190 A8. I was going to make the R11 nightfighter version but Dot gold hold on one of the sprues and the radar aerials were a bit nibbled so I was left with the A8! The overall scheme is RLM 76 but to be honest the colour I was recommended, Vallejo 70.961 Sky blue looked very bright after I had painted it. I had been recommended a series of vids by a young lad by a kind soul on this forum which were very instructive and it is where I got the pencil idea from. After a bit of scratching around on panel lines etc I tried to make a bit of realistic gunsmoke staining etc and I think I managed to break up and tone down the bland bright blue easter egg I started with! Compared to what is on display here and in other parts of the forum this model still looks rubbish but hopefully a slight improvement over the F4F. Of course all criticism/encouragement is welcome. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually found it very difficult to get it together smoothly but probably more a reflection of my modelling skills TBH. It probably needed a bit of filling pre paint but I didn't have any unfortunately. Look forward to seeing your finished model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
