discussion Eduard 1/48 FW190 A-6 profipack

[Charlie Delta Foxtrot]

Next up… Some more Wurger action. The top IP is a bit of a ‘stick and hope’ as you sandwich the fuselage halves together. Think i got it right after a couple of attempts. Not great for Eduard but the rest was spot on in the office. All PE went well.

You had me at W

This kit is stunning in its accuracy of fit, an absolute joy! All together now, just waiting to fit the nose cowel and a final section of the cockpit plus the front part of the canopy and then on with some external priming. Wheel bays done and undercarriage painted.

Russell,
Looking very nice.

 

[Charlie Delta Foxtrot]

Cheers! So far so good, i’m waiting for my one obligatory error

Looking very nice. Can you do a canopy open version with this kit ? It would be a shame to cover the 'pit up.

 

[adt70hk]

Coming on very nicely!

[Steven000]

Very nice so far!
Cheers Steven

Good question….I hope so!

I have resurrected this from the shelf! Decided to crack on. Pleased I did, had one of those days when the AB was behaving; managed to get the Yellow sections done, the RLM underneath and the winter mottling on top. This scheme has a section or two of standard camo on the wings and fuselage so will be doing that next.

Looking very good! I have a couple of 1/72 profipack kits in the stash. Not plucked up the courage to have a go..... Don't want to ruin it. Need a bit more practice on cheaper wingy things first....

Keep up the good work.

Hi Russell
I missed this before. I have built an Eduard Spitfire and that was a nice kit.
Great looking cockpit. Nice paint job. Yellow is not an easy colour to spray.

Cheers Jim. It’s taken me a while to hone the yellow process. I now do it all first over a white base and then mask it off for the other colours, seems to be the right way. For me at least.
