grobber Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hi all first time posting picks so please be kind. (or don’t) Picked up modeling again after about a 15 year layoff and have been trolling around here trying to pick stuff up. Like the title said Hasegawa FW 190 A3 1/48 build out of the box (I love those big black eagles) except for some PE seatbelts. This is my third kit in my modeling revival and the first time I ever attempted a mottle paint scheme. Finished with a mix of Acryl and Gunz paints Any suggestions / input / criticisms, I would love to hear them all Grobber Quote Link to post Share on other sites

toadwbg Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Looks great. I just uncorked this kit myself. How are the decals? What did you use to settle them down? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What did you use to settle them down? thanks Alot of people seem to complain about Hasegawa decals but I have had pretty good luck with them. to get them to settle down I use Mr Hobby Mr Mark Softer (don'e blame me I did not name it) I find with Hasegawa decals you need to pretty liberal with the stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mattcooke Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Great job on your Fw 190. Looks very nice. I like it. Daniel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Not much to critique. You did a great job with it, particularly the paint. You certainly seem to be picking things up fast if this is only your third kit after a fifteen year layoff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Kethan Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Nice job, Grobber. It looks like you never had a break in modelling - especially not a 15 year one! What's your next project? If you want another good luftwaffe plane to do some more mottling, try one of the hasegawa 109 series, or the Tamiya 262. Great kits. This one turned out really nice.

Chris Thanks I did the FW 190 towards the end of last year and have done a Tamiya P51 that is olive drab since then. I found that painting 1 or 2 colours has its own challenges especially when try to create a sense of depth I have 2 kits on the bench right now a Dragon Ju88 c6 that I am converting to Prince zu Sayn-Wittgenstein’s bird so I am waiting on some parts from the LHS to convert Gondola and other pieces. Paint will be a black underside with mottled RLM 74 & 75. I basically wanted to try a kit that would require a bunch of filling, scribing, body work… plus I love playing with the airbrush. The other one on the go is an Eduard Pfalz D.IIIa which is a real change of pace since I really do not know anything about the plane and have never done a biplane before. I am still trying to come up with a good wood grain finish for the cockpit. It is so delicate tiny when compared to the Ju88 (both 1/48) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Mikester Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Very nice build, you seem to have picked up the knack for mottling pretty darn quick! :o Quote Link to post Share on other sites
latormentabritanica Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Outstanding 190, really. Especially since you used the Hasegawa decals! I've never even bothered with those things! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
