BerndM Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hello ! Some pictures of one of my few completed kits from 2017. After it was done i was a bit disappointed by my paintjob and decaling, especially after taking photos. After some touch ups done recently i am more pleased but still some problem areas. Hope you like it. It is the new Eduard Fw 190 in 1:72 scale and it builds very well. Gun barrels and the pitot are from Master.

KelT Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Cracking job. It looks great, either you made some very impressive touch ups or you are far too hard on yourself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Very good looking 190! The very subtle highlighting of the panel joints looks exactly right to my eyes. Excellent modelling. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. if you look deeper some dots of the mottling are a bit off ( difficult in 1:72 with my vintage airbrush compressor ) and the black primer comes trough on the wing leading edges. But this is only really visible on the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. most of my touch ups were done of the fuselage sides and on the cowling. modellers are often harsh critics to them self, this helps me to build better models but i don t get me wrong i like the result 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much. There is a story about this markings. Very unusual to Luftwaffe aircraft the colored cowlings on the Fw 190 of JG 1 were introduced to ease re collecting the aircraft after the head on attacks against the bombers. Based in Holland the airbase came once under attack by P-47 fighters with cowlings painted in the very same fashion ( later converted to P-51 ) The anti Aircraft gunners didn t shoot because they thought they were own aircraft. After this the cowlings on the Fw 190 were repainted in black and white stripes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really nice 190, Cheers Greg 😉 Cheers mate ! The black ones are decals or to be precise it is a single decal that has to be wrapped around the white and yellow painted cowling. The armored ring has to be painted black as well. This was pretty difficult because the decals are quality wise great but thin and fragile. 18 minutes ago, HOUSTON said: AMAZING build Bernd.

I haven't had much success in that area. Once again great result on your Focke Wulf. Cheers Greg Edited June 16, 2018 by GREG DESTEC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Hi Bernd! Very nice build, although I must confess that your Fw 190 fleet is confusing me. Always good to see 1/72 Aircraft models from you. Cheers, Mario 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Greg The Eduard Fw 190 A-6 kit in 1:48 came with multible pieces for the checkers on the cowling the new kit in 1:72 came with a single piece decal wich was much more difficult to use. The cowling declas from Eagle Strike for a P-51D went bad and into the bin after making the ICM kit to my most "doomed" kit in my box. There is also a problem with the windscreen but this is another story. Cheers On 6/16/2018 at 6:56 PM, Mario said: Hi Bernd!
