Tamiya 1:48 Fw190 A-3

Very very neat. The weathering is just right. Just a quick criticism (if you don't mind)- the aerial wire should be sagging, as the canopy is open. If you enter this into a model show etc, they (the judges) can be particularly cruel on Fw190s. Good to see you also got the undercarriage angle right as well (as this ais a highly criticised part of the aircraft as well)

Thanks for taking the time to comment.


I won't be entering it in any shows if the judges get it wrong! The antennae wire enters the cockpit canopy and is routed underneath to a pulley system that keeps the antennae tight when the canopy is open.

Fantastic Graham. The photos are like the build - understated but high class. One small detail that stands out for me is the panel lines - again not overdone and superbly realistic. The underside view shows this best.

Top notch that is


A truly fantastic looking build of one of my favourite Luftwaffe planes. The weathering is awesome the oob build is amazing and presented in a way it's a show contender if not a winner

Good to know. I definately know however, that on Doras and ta 152s, they did not have this feature...


Probably a strategy to economize on materials
