My collection of Fw.190’s built just since I’ve come back to the hobby.


First is an Fw.190F8 Eastern front November 1944. The camouflage is real but taken from an Fw.190D series aircraft thats been restored. It was all hand painted over the sprayed base colors.

Next up is an Fw.190a8/r2 Rammjager summer 1944.

My one and only Fw-190 completed thus far

In late April 1945 an RAF intelligence team on the ground in war torn Hamburg are called to an unusual aircraft wreck discovered in the city.

 

My most inadvertantly controversial build to date (due to the fictionalised aircraft number!) it was inspired by a birthday present of the AK Interactive aircraft wrecks book and is not particularly accurate but was an interesting experiment at least.

The original 1/48 Eduard boxing of an A-8.  This is one I actually managed to finish but the markings on the cowling helped to disguise the less than satisfactory assembly of the cowling.

A Tamiya 1/48 D-9.  The undercarriage bays were rebuilt using a resin kit from (if memory serves) MDC.  Of course, you can't see the gear bays in these shots...  :wall:  but it does serve to explain why the dihedral on the wings isn't quite right.

Finshed at the end of December 2022, here is my take on the Airfix FW 190 A-8.

Wurger from 7/JG 26, France 1944.

Some photos of my old Tamiya 1/48th short nose FW's

FW 190A-3 using the kit decals, the only addition is some Eduard p/e seatbelts

IMG_2000

This is the Tamiya FW 190F-8 with Eduard p/e seatbelts and SuperScale decals.

IMG_1999

I used the kit supplied panzerblitz rockets under the wings because they looked good.

Just caught up with all these wonderful models. I'm afraid I've only built two in recent years.

Old photo of Airfix's 1970s FW 190A-8, with the addition of an Italeri canopy, built in the early 1980s (I think):

  • 2 weeks later...
  • Marklo changed the title to FW190 Inspiration Gallery

I was going to begin this by saying I've only ever built one Fw 190 before but then as a searched my Flickr pages for it I stumbled over this, built 55+ years ago, colours mixed according to the picture on the bag header from the gloss primaries that was all I had back then.  The original Airfix Fw 190D.

TDX1

Fast forward about 50 years & I did this for the  2016 Fw 190 STGB. 

The Hasegawa Fw 190A-5 as Walter Nowotny's Machine.
