Mig88 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Hello everyone! Here is the other of my two latest kits, finished in time for the "1942" Group Build in the Kampfgruppe144 forum (and the year's end). It's F-toys' 1:144 Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-4 converted to an A-3. It represents "Black 13", W/Nr. 2181, of 8./JG2, Luftwaffe, France, 1942. This was a pre-painted semi-assembled Gashapon kit. I took apart the assembled fuselage, removed all the paint and built it OOB only adding the radio wire from stretched sprue and modifying the tail to make the characteristic forward tip blister for the radio wire of the early Fw 190s. In my haste, I forgot to sand down the exaggerated rib detail of the tailplanes and the rudder and missed that the main wheel hubs should be black not RLM66. It was fully painted and varnished with brush. Decals came mostly from the kit with the upper wing crosses and stencils coming from an MYK Design decal sheet and the swastika from the spares box. Weathering was light as these machines were well kept and quite clean in this period, other than the stains from the engine. Despite the things I missed, I am especially pleased with this one. Thanks for looking and a Happy New Year to everyone. Miguel 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
