theplasticsurgeon Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Joining you with this Hasegawa 1/72 Fw kit. Bought at Fairford last year. Parts. Options. Have I mistaken the colours in some way? Instructions would have this aircraft two shades of dark green. but the boxart looks green/grey. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Welcome to the GB. I would have said grey 74 and grey 75 with 76 undersurfaces for an A6 and the box shades are just the artist’s interpretation of the scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Watching along, considering that kit myself edit: just seen the colour query, standard 74/75/76 Edited January 24, 2023 by PhantomBigStu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I think 74/75/76 seems to be the right call for both of those. I've placed color measurements of reputable sources on this build reference thread. 74 has greenish tone, 75 purple, 76 is blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Welcome to the build, agreed on the colors of 74/75/76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 Fuselage and wings, assembled as an airframe. The plastic is really hard and crisp, the fit is superb. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Airbrushed Humbrol 247 earlier this morning. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 Canopy fitted and masked. Airbrushed Humbrol 246 Grey - freehand. And camo masking from an old birthday card. Airbrushed Humbrol 244 Green. I need to see this in proper daylight. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 Disgruntled Tim Two: These decals aren't for the boxart 'plane! Missing the lightning flash on the fuselage, and the diagram shows a big black area on the fuselage. Insignias only so far, and they take ages to release from the paper. Paused for so more research. This is Fw190A-5 WNr 2594, red trims on the nose camo. His A-4 had that over a yellow cowling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 So I traced out a template for the flash, and cut it into some yellow decal, which worked out very well. So I did the same with some red decal. The applied the tulip symbol around the nose. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
