Shelliecool Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Ready for inspection is my 1:72 Focke Wulf Fw190A-8, by Airfix. It is an out of the box build, although I have made my own stand so the aircraft can be displayed in flight. The kit was very clean, with little flash and nicely detailed panel lines, and the decals went on with ease. Instead of the Humbrol acrylics supplied, I have used the Vallejo equivalents (purely because I find them easy to airbrush). I hope I have done the aircraft justice, thanks for looking. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hi Michelle, what a lovely 190! I have heard of more than a few Airfix 190s flying straight into the trash, so the fact that you claim it was a hassle-free build is likely to get some teeth screeching! It would appear that the only snag is the rear fit of the canopy. But all in all, this is a great job! Well done! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAAMAN Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Nice little display It's a great little kit with many excellent examples out and about the web and shows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchen Modeller Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 This came out great - and great job on the base - I might have to steal that idea. Well done ! Nice to see a pilot when so many others seem to have 'in flight' models with nobody at the controls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epeeman Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I really like this one, and yes, you definitely done the kit justice. Like the stand for the in flight display too. Regards Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murfv Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Very nice job on the Airfix FW190, I have one on the bench at the moment, a straight forward build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Turned out really nice! Too many of us (me included) forego the in-flight configuration; and this shows just how clean and beautiful an aircraft can look this way. The marking on the base looks very artistic and inspiring too. A great build! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark4700 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Very nicely done. Especially liking the spinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almac Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Nice job on shall we say a challenging kit, not one of Airfix’s best. Cheers Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
