Eduard 1/48 Focke Wulf 190 A7

Good morning everyone, hope you are all doing well!

 

Rather than waffling on too much about what went well and what didn't with this model I will just post a few photos and a rundown of the build. 

So, this is another one of those kits that i've had for a few years now. Im pretty sure alongside Eduard's 1/48th Spitfire Mk.IX this was one of the first kits I build and used an airbrush on when I was around 16; I actually had this model built somewhat broken in a box so dug it out to compare as im 21 now so its been 5 years. I have to say, even though this kit can be a bit tricky to fit together in some places its an amazing kit and so even the one I build when I was 16 holds up okay thanks to Eduard opposed to my lack of modelling skills starting out. Lets just say if it was an Italeri kit I decided to go for first, it probably wouldn't have still been kept.

 

I honestly loved every stage of this build, im not a huge fan of photo etch sometimes and have to be in the right mood to build a kit with PE parts but this didn't put me off this time as I knew I wanted to build the kit in my chosen scheme and also wanted to test a couple of new airbrushes even though there wasn't all that much mottling on this model its the first time i've used an airbrush freehand for the camouflage which is really fun.

 

 

Now this kit is done, im hoping to move onto Tamiya's F15C before making a start on some trickier jets. 

 

I hope you all have a great christmas and a happy new year!

 

Thanks,

Ryan
