Focke Wulf Fw 190 D-9, 1/48 Italeri/Dragon


Recommended Posts

Hallo,

this is my "new years insane project" :D

Kit is from Italeri (ex Dragon). It is really difficult kit for building, but I think, this Dora-9 are best look kit in 1/48 scale....

I choose airplane from Prag-Ruzyně airfield. I have done camouflage with help JaPo excelent book...

Kubrt,

I am curious as to how you actually used the tool. Did you use a ruler or some tamiya tape to serve as a guide? I haven't had too much success in using my Rosie the riveter tool, especially around curved surfaces. I was wondering if you could offer any guidence here. Again, fantastic looking model!

Rivetting is really simply:

I don´t used any rulers or tamiya tape. I have used only pencil....

on this picture are visible rivetted wing before and after sanding...

I´m really sorry, but my English is really bad... I would like to translate better notices about rivetting ;-)

Here are completely story about building my Dora ;-) http://www.modelplac.cz/htm/148/fw190d9ita.htm But only in Czech language....

With kind regards Jakub "Kubrt" Vilingr
