Focke-Wulf Fw 191 V1 - Anigrand Craftswork

[Mig88]

Here are is Anigrand Craftwork's 1:144 Focke-Wulf Fw 191 V1 which I built back in 2013.

This came in a set of four resin kits covering the four proposals for the ill-fated Bomber-B programme and represents the first prototype in early 1942.

 

Apart from adding some details in the cockpit I thinned the gun barrels and added missing ones for the nose from stretched sprue as well as the wing pitot tube and the radio mast, also from stretched sprue.

The rear end of the underside gondola was moulded solid and is clear so I cut away the section and added a part made from a clear piece in my spares box (Airfix Do 17 I believe!).

The u/c doors were thinned as usual. Internet references were needed to place them properly.

 

The kit was fully painted with brush except for the final coats of satin varnish which were airbrushed. I ignored the colour call outs of the (minimal) instructions and painted the kit RLM02 overall with the propellers in RLM70 Schwarzgrün and placed the wing crosses in a more correct position. Due to the little use of the prototype I didn't apply any weathering and only highlighted the panel lines of moving surfaces.

 

Thank you for looking and, as usual, all comments are welcome.

Miguel,

Excellent results, especially in such a small scale.  A very unusual aircraft that is not often seen.

Respect!

That’s a mean looking Fw with a very nice surface, almost stealth like 👍

Thank you very much @Jeddahbill and @desert falcon.

 

This is my favourite of the four design of the Bomber-B programme.
