Geoffs Revell 1/72 Fw 190 A-8 & BV 246 “Hagelkorn”

[Jim R]

Looking good with a coat of paint. Good luck with the mottling.

[Geoffers]

Cheers Jim ?

Lovely work Geoff. That scheme sounds desirable right now ?

[Geoffers]

Thanks Joe and yes I thought I would follow the path of least resistance for one of them ?

Geoff.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Looking good Geoff.

[Geoffers]

Thanks Steve ?

[Geoffers]

More progress to report ?

The painting has been completed, the mottling looks reasonably ok I think and the transfers are on.




The transfers were horrible ? the carrier film looks cloudy and the transfers themselves had a tendency to break up with the slightest touch.
I’ve left quite a few of the smaller stencils off as they looked more unsightly than actually adding anything.

Clear coat next then a bit of weathering, thanks for looking ?

Geoff.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Looking great Geoff. Shame about the decals but like you I left most of the smaller stencil ones off. More trouble than they are worth.

[Geoffers]

Thank you Steve, I think they are just old. I would probably have done better getting some after market ones ?

[minitnkr]

Nicely done.

[Geoffers]

Thanks Paul ?

[Jim R]

Looking very nice despite the horrible decals.

[Geoffers]

Cheers Jim ?

[flyjoe180]

[Geoffers]

Thanks Joe ?

Looking good geoff , shame about the decals - they must have been old or something , usually Revells decals are excellent , cheers tony

[Geoffers]

I think that was what it was Tony, managed to get most of them on ok so not too bad ?

[Geoffers]

I’m calling these done now.

All the final bits and bobs have been added and I’ve done some light weathering.

Some of the gun Barr have been replaced with cut down syringe needles and the pitot tube with a pin.

I had some problems with the paler one’s undercarriage legs which I managed to break off but I managed to repair them.

The canopies aren’t great either, something I’ve noticed being common in these smaller Revell kit’s which is a shame.

Overall though I don’t think they have turned out too bad and I’ve enjoyed building them

I’ll put some more photos in the gallery thread.

Thanks for looking and all the support.

Geoff.
