1/48 Eduard Fw190A-6/R11 Neptun "Red 21"

[Brewer]

Another one I recently wrapped up. The antenna were made from scratch because the only aftermarket options were 2D photoetch, unacceptable.

Wow! First one of this variant I have seen built, and I think you have set the standard for it! Nice touches all around that show your attention to detail- the sooty exhaust, red-painted trim tabs and step, and the fuel stains on the drop tank. That's one nasty Wurger! 👌

My favorite Fw-190 NF is the A-6/R11 or A-8/R11 with the J3 Neptune 'antler' antennas.

Whoo Whee!    🤩  

That is one incredible model Brewer!  Fantastic result on this one...man, it's just so sharply made and finished!  Wow indeed.  

[Wulfman]

That's a really nice-looking model. Is it the more recent 'retooled' Eduard Fw 190 kit or the older one released a few years ago?

[Nikola Topalov]

Simply beautiful! Well done!

 

Best,

Nikola

[toniosky]

Top build and gorgeous painting !

[Tbolt]

That’s really nice. Love the weathering and the antennas. I bet you had to be careful handling that one near the end with all that lot? 

[Mig88]

Simply outstanding!!!

The retool, I wouldn't dare build the old tool. Too complex and less accurate

Actually, everything else on this model will break before the antennae do - but yes still handle with care so I don't get stabbed! Haha

[Sky Keg]

Just superb!!!!!  The complex camouflage pattern is perfect.  What a beautiful model of the Fw-190.

An excellent model, finished beautifully. I really enjoyed seeing your workmanship. Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to share it with us.

[Taylor Durbon]

What a clean, crisp  build . And Boy, what a finish! And all presented  in such brilliant pics. Well done and thanks vor sharing.

[Natter]

A lovely model, your painting skills make me jealous. Looking at all those antennas I do wonder just what sort of RF radiation the pilot was exposed to.

[mick]

excellent work

[Retired Bob]

A superb "Butcher Bird" just stunning paintwork and finish. 

[Nesdu]

Magnificent. Thanks for the inspiration.

[wellsprop]

Absolutely excellent

[Mukund SB]

Just came across this thread.... Was searching FW-190 since the group build is starting next month..... I am new to Aircrafts and learning on the go....

Stunning finish.... The rigging is top class. Thanks for sharing.

[Brewer]

Nice to see this thread brought back to the top after a year and a half, thanks folks! I need to post some of my recent work 

[Walter]

Bravo 👏 

[Giampiero Piva]

Very, VERY nice, Bravo !

I do not think I have ever seen this spikey, I guess nightfighter, version of the 190.  Now I just recently looked an a 109 with a similar set up on another post to this forum.   Both birds have been so well build and painted.  I really like your faded mottling and restrained weathering done on this kit.  Thanks for sharing.
