Strange how things turn out. I wasn't really planning to start a new build so soon after my Fury, but, the wife is away for the weekend, daughter No.2 tends to only come out of her room for feeding, so I was sort of on my own.
So, what to do ? Well after two 'vintage' Airfix kits in a row I decided to try something a bit easier. I reached for the oldest model in the stash, I bought this years ago and just never got around to building it. The little 1:72 Tamiya FW 190 A-3.
It's a modern Tamiya, so the details is very good.
It doesn't take long to gat a bit of paint on the various bits and pieces.
Just an example of Tamiya's detail.
Fuselage and engine bits are quickly dealt with. The cockpit slides in from underneath.
Speaking of the 'pit, here it is. Decals are provided for the IP, but I decided not to use them. They would be out of site and a real pain to settle over that nicely detailed surface.
Tamiya did provide a harness decal, even though they are quite awful, I decided to use it as it will never be seen again anyway. It curled up badly. I hope this isn't a warning for the rest of the decals.
So, out with the tape for some very basic straps. As you can see, I really didn't make much of an effort here.
It didn't take too long to get to this stage. I like 1:72.
And finally for now, a bit of primer, nicely highlighting Tamiya's detail in this little 1:72 kit. And this takes me to Sunday morning.
