FW 190 Tamiya 1/48

[michaelm]

Finished this the other night, pretty happy with it although it needs some weathering, I'm still very unsure about weathering and can't bring myself to try it out on finished models, must get braver. M

Looks cool Michael. I presume that's the A3 kit?

That looks excellent to me Michael, nice clean build with great paint. For me, it's fine without any weathering.

Cheers

nice build...

weathering can still wait

try on something little techics and you will see it's not hard...

Promodeller wash, MIG washes... great stuff, and if you are working with acrilyc laquer all oil based paints will be usefull and great for weathering and wash, even ordinary wood 4B pencil

And watch out in the future for wheels... and you can still correct that

In the end, nice build, nicely painted and how I can see without any visible joints...

Step by step my friend and will be fine

Nice job,very well put together and painted! No WW2 aeroplane HAS to be weathered. I'm with Roman on the wheels,this shows the correct geommetry.

Cheers

Thanks for the kind words, yeah the undercarriage! Bit of a pain, they set in that angle and I had a bit of trouble putting them right, I'm going to have another go and I'll put up a new pic with the reworked undercarriage.

thanks again m

Definitely worth it. It's a really nice build and worth fixing such a minor thing!

Cheers

Michael I too struggled with the correct alignment on my FW190 but as already stated earlier its worth fixing. The build is very nicely done,great paint work as well!

 

[flyjoe180]

It looks great Michael, will be a fantastic model to display and be proud of. Look forward to seeing another pic of the corrected landing gear.

Nice work on the Würger, my favorite WW2 fighter. Looks fine apart from the landing gear which was previously mentioned. Next time, try using more light when taking photos; as they are now, they're way too dark and camo can hardly be seen.

Keep up the good work!
