Sturmovik Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hello guys, I present you my next project, a Hasegawa Strike Witches themed Focke Wulf Fw 190D-9. The box has a single Fw 190D-9 in 1:72 and a 1:20 figure of Gertrud Barkhorn. If you can remember, I've already built three similarly themed models: Don't forget to click on the "follow" button if you wish to be kept up to date with this build! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) I decided to jump and begin building this kit. 41 pieces in total. But first, here's what I've been reading: "Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe. Fighter pilots, their techniques and combat tactics." Wings built: Fuselage halves painted in RLM 66: Cockpit built. There is little space to see something once the canopy is glued in place, so I left the decals for the instrument panel out, as I did with my Mc 202. Aircraft almost fully built: Horizontal stabilizers glued in place: Do you guys see this little piece? When I removed it from the sprue, it went flying to some distant place. Luckily I was able to find it over my sanding papers. Airframe ready for painting: Don't forget to click in the "follow" button if you wish to see the progress on this 190!

Thom216 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Cool, an anime-themed build! Not too many of those. I have one of the Creator Works Folgores in the stash with the red DaVinci livery. Will be following along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could do this down in the Sci-Fi/Movie-TV/themed group build. It would be a perfect fit ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hasegawa did them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name was Gerhard Barkhorn to get that straight and to me it doesn't matter how much enjoyment you get from a kit like that, it simply doesn't belong in this forum since I see no realation to reality. If you would have known him like I did you would put it where Corsairfoxhound suggested in the first place. I simply don't like funny stuff made at the expense of deceased people, no matter what side they were on. My opinion. Lothar 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was merely a suggestion and he has a right to build it where he wants. Please do try to get my name straight though. Dennis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom216 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 The forum title is Work in Progress - Aircraft. This hits both criteria. 9 hours ago, Sturmovik said: I could, but I prefer to do my thread in the more mainstream category. Is that Folgore from the Shidenkai no Maki manga? I think Hasegawa did them. Yes it is. Though I have to say I did not watch that anime. For me it's a Folgore in a cool/unique red scheme. Although, now reading the wiki I may check it out.😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrari Red with tiger-stripes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturmovik Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Landing gear glued, I'm closing in to the finishing line with this one! In my modelling spare time, I read "Six Weeks of Blenheim Summer," by Alastair Panton. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
