Weekend Fw 190 A-4 crisscross camouflage completed


Recommended Posts

With the exception of the inner gear door swing arms, I call this one finished.

Kit is Eduard’s weekend box OOB with the seat belts exception and the swastika decal that came from spares. Hope you enjoy

I would love know what methods you used to get the straight lines and symmetry. I have this kit but have no idea how I would airbrush the zig zags to the standard you have.

Dave, that’s a fair question but to be honest there is no special method, just a steady hand, the right dilution ration (MRP 74 was a 60% paint-40% thinner), patient work always looking to see if all is heading the right direction and some inevitable retouches along the way. I didn’t use (but initially thought about using) pencil draw lines upon witch to paint over, or some sort of masks, since I did all freehand.

One thing I can advise, try on paper and/or some plastic first. Good luck!

looking great. fine work with that AB... 

 

maybe one remark, continue the weathering on the yellow decals, for some reason only the 6 got some partly wash, but on the wurm and yellow bar nothing is visible... you have a nice weathered flying machine (that has done a few hours in the sky) with some very shiny markings... (doesn't add up IMHO)
