Focke Wulf Fw190A-8


Recommended Posts

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.

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!

I really like this one, and yes, you definitely done the kit justice.  Like the stand for the in flight display too.

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!

:clap:
