Tamiya 1/48 Fw 190A-8 Conv.,


Recommended Posts

G'day, Havent put anything up in a while. House moving, settling in, Life etc. Anyway this is a Tamiya 190A-8 'converted'to the A-7. more or less. I actually built it to paint stage back in 2015 and then packed it away over the Queensland summer. At the endof summer we sold up and moved. So I eventually this year dragged the box out from a much diminished stash and decided to finish it. It represents a 190A7 of 2/JG 1 early 1944.  decals were from an old Aeromaster sheet plus nose stripes from elsewhere. Sundry references were consulted.

For those interested it was sprayed in Vallejo/Italeri RLM 76 with a mix of Tamiya and some Gunze acrylics for the rest. I do like Vallejo paints but I always have a hard time using them one way or another. The brush used was an Iwata HP-CS with fine tip. Final weathering and varnish (Pledge Floor shine ..the Future down under) with an old Badger! It was a lot of fun and I was pleased with the outcome and not too many cock ups (well for me anyway)

So the first photo is of it primed and pre-shading added.

Second is with the finished colour coats applied and masking removed and varnish sprayed ready for decalling.

The rest is the finished article.  cheers JH
