minitnkr's Airpower 87 FW190D-9

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Looks great Paul. Now if you could move that dio outside and get some blue sky and cloud in the back ground that would look awesome.

[minitnkr]

Would be great for pics, and easy to say, but the sombitch is very heavy & bulky. The last time we tried took a week to repair it. I will paint the wires to blend in better & maybe do some background.

Lovely workmanship, imagination and composition mate!

May be of use someplace else.


Why I hate resin & why I picked P51s to attack FW190D-9s for GB. Fuselage was shifted a bit left in the mold and tail was real muddy, gear doors didn't fit, and canopy was a mess. Ran out of time.

Great work Paul. And the action pictures as well. A really nice touch.

[Jim R]

That looks superb. I love those action photos.

[minitnkr]

Never one to take defeat lightly, I've spent hours using my limited skills of silkpursery to bring this lump of resin to resemble a P47. The canopy still requires more work. I hope to get it to the level of the 1/72 Razorback in the background.

[Jim R]

Definitely getting there. Hours well spent.

Paul, great work mate and you have more than limited skills.

[minitnkr]

Thank you gentlemen. Progressing slowly. Office, canopy, engine/prop, & eight 50cals to go.
