My aircraft of the past: 1:32 Revell Ju 88A-1, Hasegawa 1:32 Fw 190A-8 and 1:32 Me 163

These three models were built when I was younger (15-17 I think), then they were thrown into the garbage because a shelf fell above them and broke them, without a repair chance. The Fw 190A-8 was specially fragile because I had swapped, once glued, its early style wheels for the late ones of Hasegawa´s newly tooled Fw 190A-5.

 

Revell´s 1:32 Junkers Ju 88A-1. 

At this time I wasn´t too sure how to sand the paint ridges, so the aircraft was decaled over them. I used Scale Aircraft Conversion´s metal landing gear for this one.

 

Hasegawa´s old tool 1:32 Focke Wulf Fw 190A. This was the first aircraft I tried to seriously mottle. It was also painted using bluetac as a guide for the camouflage. Academy has the same colour scheme on its 1:72 Fw 190A-8.

 

Hasegawa´s 1:32 Me 163.

 

The photos were uploaded to the "1:32" contest in Modeling Madness, you can find them here: https://modelingmadness.com/contests/1-32/1-32pix.htm

 

I´ll try to find the photos of my old models, they´re scattered throughout many other websites.

Good work on all of them  ... The mottling is very good ( better than my first serious attempt). Shame they were damaged, sadly its a part of modeling that you may lose a few.

@Corsairfoxfouruncle thanks, but losing them made me think everything over and decide to only build in 1:48, instead of having many scales and many aircraft.
