1/48 Eduard FW 190 D-9

[iceman98]

Hello fellow modelers,

 

This project had started from the April, but due to my limited time the progress was very slow and I didn't managed to post earlier.

 

The kit I chose was Eduard's Fw 190 D-9 Late #8189 profi pack.

 

 

I started assembling the first parts (cockpit, some gun bay parts, gears etc.) and then I continued with the priming.

 

 

Afterwards I painted the cockpit and cockpits sidewalls with AK true metal silver, I used this layer as a base for the chipping. Then I painted using mostly AK's 3rd gen colors. Unfortunately I didn't have RLM 66 for the cockpit interior so I mixed it using reference pictures, for the mix I used Pale grey and black (1:3 ratio approx.). I painted the cockpit details using a 10/0 brush with 50-50 water diluted paint, I used the photo-edged parts and actual pictures as reference. Ι don't like the "flat photo-edged parts, for some details I cut the decals and I applied them in the correct position.

 

 

For the weathering I used for the first time AK's waterpencils, I really liked the final result. Also I used Winsor & Newton Wintor and Abteilung oil paints.
