Valkyrie Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hitting this excellent wee blitz build with a Revell 190. These got me hooked on my return to modelling so hoping to churn it out easily enough. Not fully decided on the scheme, either Russian front or SG/4 Italy... Quite quickly got up to here... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Coming up on an hour. these kits do have a gap issue at wing roots but a couple of pieces of spure inside the fuselage under the cockpit and hoodsoon spreads the frame out to meet the wings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Shy of 2 hours and we have a shape....I hadn’t really thought through painting yikes! Better have a steady hand..... ‘Russian or Italian campaign....... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Just love the Fw190, it just looks right from every angle. The one in the picture which i assume is the Russian front, looks the business. Do you have the decals for it ? Great recovery on the wing roots. cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Ok decided on the scheme for 2/SG4 Italy 1944. My research shows that 2s camouflage colour seems to differ slightly from 1s in that it was a darker brown, likely Nocciola Chiaro 4 sourced from the Italians rather than a Giallo Mimetico or Sandgelb Sandbraun RLM 79 a or b.

Valkyrie Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Think I’m going to have to give up The canopy will take ages to fix and only just got my decals down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
