jacksdad Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I've got one of these in the stash that's going to be used in the FW190 STGB. Looking forward to getting some build tips from you. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Take care with the top fuselage insert. Mine wasn't a great fit. Also when painting have a mask (I don't use them) otherwise if you use enamels you'll be floating for week with all the paint involved. I can still levitate at will and I did mine three years ago!

dj prest Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) thanks darby for the heads up regarding the fuselage and not used enamels for over 20 years steve if i have any build tips then i will share but so far its going nicely anyway, spent a few hours this evening painting the engine cowling and adding the rear aileron's. paints (i only use acrylics) so far are Revell dark green and nato olive for the upper wing camo(i did buy the RLM equivalents by tamyia but i couldnt get on with them) and left to dry for 12 hours, the underwing is being painted with Vallejo pale grey/blue 70907 which goes darker slightly when humbrol matt cote is applied then darker still with flory models dark dirt wash. the splinter camo is being masked with electrical tape,which has a low tack underwing drying note the bottom of a can of caffreys irish beer being used as a palette! the fixed widget makes a sturdy base thanks for looking Edited July 12, 2011 by dj prest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Hi DJ, I have seen this build now for the first time and it's looking good so far. I have seen that you have painted the wings already. Now I have a little suggestion about those. The paintline on the engines were a bit lower. The line was under the exhausts (see link for this) and stopped where the engine pot met the wing (breakline in the kit). In the paint drawings from the kit was the upper colours even putted further back, but this is wrong and was only used on later models. To confuse things further, on some pictures it looks like it is painted further, but that's sut from the exhausts. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=53831 I hope this will help a little bit. Cheers Arnold Edited July 13, 2011 by Arniec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
