theplasticsurgeon Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Just over a week before I start my ANZAC build, time for another. Whilst I'm in Focke Wulf mode, and have relevant paints on my bench, I'm rejoining with this 1977 kit. Originally from Frog in 1968. This kit cost me £2 from IPMS Avon show in 2007. Options. I'm going for the lower, as I have those red/yellow stripe as decal - leftover from my Fw190 build. Parts. This is a primative kit, that I plan to build in flying mode. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I see your prop boss is not drilled right through either Tim, a fault of an elderly set of molds but if not rectified can lead to a back to front prop install. I've one of these in stock so keen to see you work your magic with it. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 This one will make an interesting comparison to your Airfix example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Col, I'm more interested to see it's comparison (sizewise) with my recent Fw190D9s. Anyway, here's the pilot, ready for combat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Airframe mostly assembled, I'm smoothing out that wing gap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Gosh those wings are looooonnngg! Never appreciated just how much longer they looked until seeing them there. Must be a significant difference in span to your D-9 models. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never appreciated just how much longer they looked until seeing them there. Must be a significant difference in span to your D-9 models. That's a comparison that I'm interested to see Col - so I'll take photos for you. The Ta-152 has a similar engine to the Fw-190D9, hence that scoop is on the same side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplasticsurgeon Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 First upper camo, Humbrol 246. Then the caom pattern in H123 - couldn't find anything more contrasting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
