Fw 190A-3 Tamiya 1:48


Recommended Posts

Good morning Gentelmen,

 

Coming back to the hobby after a long break...

 

My choise was Tamiya's Focke Wulf, simple and easy kit but still looking as the Würger. Out of the box except the main wheels and the guns in the wings.

I have decided to buid something hmm... untypical: Fw 190A-3 "ausländisch" from Türk Hava Kuvvetleri, "Karabas" Filo (Filo means a squadron).

So the cocpit and interior at first - XF 63 as a RLM66 + dark oil wash.

The building was simple, easy and enjoable - kit is not overingeneered.
I used 3M Scotch tape to mask the canopy.

The next stage was preshading: white irregular pattern over XF 24 Dark Grey.

I have added the basic colors: RLM74 / AK RC278 + RLM75 / Gunze H69 + RLM76 / Gunze H417, heavily diluted with the Gunze Leveling Thinner, sprayed with the low pressure.

Based on that I have some ideas for the next model, lets see how it works...

 

That's enough with preshading, let me check how the next steps working. 

 

See you soon!

Almost a one post build! Nice work.

 

Nearly... 


Frankly speaking I've opened the box and started the building two years ago.

Really time consuming Wurger. Especially because there's nothing to build, even new Eduard is more sophisticated.

Good evening Gentelman. :)

 

Würger is back. I have concluded that first preshading of upper surfaces was not the good approach and I decided to do the white marbling over RLM 74 / 75 once again.

In the meantime I modified a bit the painting of propeller blades, spinner and wheels. I think they are better now.

I applied RLM 74 / 75 - it was still the combination of basic colors mixed with white in ratio 4:1.

AK RC 278 + Gunze H 69.

I have finished the underside using Gunze H 417 / RLM 76 in the same style - basic color combined with white.

Shortly summarizing: combination of heavily diluted paint and low pressure is the easiest approach to achieve the diversified appearance of painted surfaces. Still prior to the weathering. 

 

While SPITFIRE preshading was the learning from Würger's preshading the final painting of Würger is the learning from Spitfire. ;)
