BikingLampy Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 So here's the Airfix FW190 starter kit which was on special in Aldi just before Christmas Built OOB, plus masking tape seatbelts. Vallejo Model Air paints, Flory washes. On the whole pretty happy with it. Went together fairly easily, despite some fairly wonky parts. The big success was spraying the white crosses on the upper wings to avoid all the silvering that would come with the kit decals. You can tell if you look closely, but ONLY if you look closely! First attempt at exhaust and gun staining - passable for a first go, but could be better. I'm still having problems with the gloss coat - as soon as I start trying to spread the oil dots, the varnish (Vallejo Acrylic) gets wiped off as well... Demarcation between the blue and the upper camo is possibly rather more wiggly than it should be... Panel wash is a bit OTT, but it's a bit binary, especially in 1/72.... Annoyingly the hairial was drum taught until I carried the thing out into the cold damp conservatory this morning to take the pics whence it went immediately saggy...! 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilroy1988 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I think that's very spiffy. I've only been working on 1/72 fighters lately and I haven't accomplished anything so well detailed. Bravo! -Gregory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig88 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Simply great finish all around. The panel lines are a bit too heavy for my taste but the rest is very nicely done! Miguel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
