DaveyGair Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Probably going to kick off this GB with this, as well as the 'D9 in a separate thread, then maybe 1 or 3 Eduard ones I have..... Opening shots : Will be OOB, probably with the box lid markings, maybe 🤔 Davey. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Tamiya's usual engineering quality will make this and the 'Dora' trouble free builds 😁 Davey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyGair Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 After finishing the Whitley over on the KUTA GB I've made a start on the two Tamiya '190's. Really nice working with proper hard plastic instead of the soft Airfix stuff! Slotting together nicely, cleaned up the fuselage join, got to clean up the wings. Really positive fit of the wing to fuselage join, Bliss! More soon after I get the interior colours done and the whole thing glued together.

DaveyGair Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 Been bashing on with these two fine Tamiya Fw-190's. So far got the interior bits painted and installed then assembled the airframe, the wings fitting perfectly on the 'A3, just a slight gap to the rear of the 'D9 (see other thread). I used the kit decals for the instruments and seatbelts, maybe the belts look a bit 'drawn on' but they'll do me. All ready for painting, have to remember to do the Yellow rudder and under the nose on this one. More soon. Davey. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-er Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 They're progressing well, Davey James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyGair Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share Posted April 4, 2023 Got some painting done. I used a template for the mottling on this one, it's actually for 'weathering' but thought I'd give it a go. I think it looks to small and even looking compared to photos but maybe by the time i get decals on and some panel line wash it might look OK. I've never managed to get mottle looking right freehand, no matter what I do the paint always splatters even if in tiny droplets and is the reason why I avoid doing late war Luftwaffe stuff. Anyway, onwards and upwards! Davey. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyGair Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 As mentioned in the 'D9 build thread I had lost a bit of modelling mojo and thought I'd missed the end of this GB but as it's been extended thought I'd get on with them and get them in the gallery. Stickers on, Humbrol Decalfix works well on a Matt paint finish. Then Matt coats on and ready for all the final bits to be installed and painted etc. More soon.

I usually do and aerial wire but decided not to in case I mess the canopy up, same with the 'D9, get a bit shakey in my old age recently! Thanks for extending the GB, gave me the impetus to finish these. Davey. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
