Airfix 1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw190A-8

[Mickc1440]

Quick work mick ! The cockpit is very small isnt it , not a lot can be seen apart from the seat . I spent ages painting the instrument panel on my revell fw190 and when its fitted you can‘t even see it!

Definitely is small, the kit includes joystick and rudder peddles as well as two decals for the instruments, can only see the joystick

Mick,
Looking vert tidy mate.

Thanks Scottie, I really need something bigger to work on

A bit more progress today, Brown 6 is now even greyer after undercoating

More progress today thanks to awful weather. First time using AK putty for masking and was impressed with the stuff.


Carried on and got the decals on. Hopefully tomorrow I can seal it all in ready for weathering. Flying stand has also been assembled.

Looking fine Mick. That masking putty is funny stuff but works well.

Thanks Jim, it certainly is weird stuff when you first open the tin, I’ve only tried white tac before

Thanks Tony, these things really are too small Just one 1/72 kit left for the Japanese GB

[Mickc1440]

Brown 6 complete, not a bad little kit and a couple of new things tried during the build. I’ll take some more pics when it stops raining

Turned out very nicely Mick.

Looks like you've got the same stands I have just bought... Displays the plane at a slight angle...up or down, depending on which way round you do it? How did you find them?

ATB.

That's a great result Mick. It's a lovely kit. Stand sets it off well.

Thank you Andrew. The stand works really well but I had to modify the top where it connects to the aircraft. The block is way too big and would require a large hole in the underside. I removed the lug and added a pin instead

That's a great result Mick. It's a lovely kit. Stand sets it off well.

Thanks Jim

Thanks for that Scottie

Thanks for that Doug, not a hard scheme to paint up. I do like it
