Jack's Tamiya 1/48 FW-190 D9 JV44

Some updates (sorry for the poor lighting):

Sprayed the upper wing and fuselage camo, pretty much all freehand which I am pretty please with, but went a bit too heavy handed and the under-shadow doesn't really show through.

Also sprayed the prop...unbelievably lucky to find something of the exact diameter:

However although the undercarriage and covers sprayed fine, for some reason the paint on the propeller blades has separated...no clue, so will have to have another go.

Were the prop blades a bit greasy Jack? Shame about that, the rest is great.

Shouldn't have been, they have been in the same place as everything else which has been fine, and were washed and primed in light grey, so I would have thought some grease would have shown up. I will have a look when dry and see what we can do with them.

Very nice work Jack.

Thank you Peter, very kind.

Prop saved.

This is looking nice. I'm a convert to MRP as well.

Small update, not had much bench-time lately.

Some panel line wash and a little dark chipping. As the photos show there are a few areas that need a little work...wings look a bit streaky so will tidy that area up. Have also used a couple of filters, but not sure whether they really add to anything.

Coming along nicely Jack.
