Eduard 1/72 Fw-190A8/R-2

[Jay Gee]

Hello,

 

Here is an FW-190 that I built at the same time as my Me-109. I figured while I have the paints out, I'd knock over 2 birds with the 1 airbrush.

 

This one is an Eduard Fw-190A8/R-2 Profipack painted up as an aircraft from 5/JG300 in Dec 1944. The red stripe sold it for me. The kit is typical Eduard with all the extras, a little fiddly throughout but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Painted RLM 74, 75 & 76 with Vallejo Model Air paints.

I thought I better get these photos on quick as I snapped off the small straight aerial off the lower fuselage about 3 times, before I lost it completely and had to replace it with stretched runner. 

 

On with the pics. Hope you enjoy.

Always a good policy, my last plastic kit took 40 days to build and was destroyed by a fall onto concrete 3 days after I finished it!

 

Your FW deserves to live on a lot longer than that; it's very smart.

Wonderful model! Just building exact this one in 1/48. Hope it will turn out half as good as yours!

But I think I will make the alternative spinnercone in red as eduard show up this alternative. Don’t know if it is right?

I have never built and Eduard Profipack kit but yours looks terrific- perhaps that is another to ad to the list darn it. 🙂

Thanks mate. I did see that about the red spinner which may be the correct colour. But by the time I saw it, it was too late to change. Not sure what the 1/48 is like but I also found it easier to divide and concquer the spinner spiral decal. Cut it into three sections, then apply, much easier.

Thanks Bertie, that is my worst fear as my house is full of floor tiles. Although I still manage to lose stuff to the carpet monster 🤔

Very nice job on the butcher bird.  I've not built a 1/72 version but have built an Eduard 1/48 A-3 which was a nice build.

[Hairy Stickler]

Superb job in God's own scale!

 

Thanks for sharing.
