Good Morning and Merry Christmas to all ;)

Start a new model on Christmas day should be nice! So here I am with this little plane. My first and fast impression is that kit is a pearl. Looks very well done, detailed and the panel lines are deep....excellent for a pin wash :)

As on the box art, I will paint it on the winter markings.

Ok!! Let’s start it this afternoon ;)

First flying in 1939, the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 proved to be an immediate threat to the RAF fighters when introduced in late 1941, being faster and more manoeuvrable than the Spitfire V then in service.

The F-8 was the ground attack version and differed primarily in the removal of the outboard cannons. Various combinations of under wing weapons were fitted, but the most common was one centreline bomb and four small bombs on the wings.

Yep!

Well, the first step....the cockpit :)

For a 1/72 scale model, my opinion is that the detail level is more than correct, but I want to add some complements for a major visuality final colour, once finished, so I have added some EP from old kits. The seat bealts are not finished and glued, just for a better later paintwork ;)

Thanks for looking

That looks good Polux, although I'm thinking much of that won't be visible after construction!

But we know it's there ;) !
 
First of all Merry Christmas Polux.

Great start and some very nice additions

The belts look great Polux! Hmm I dunno if I can be bothered with making any for my 1/48 D-11....

Thanks guys and gal!

It's true...won't see any of it! But, like Patrick said, we know it's there :D

I'm learning, so I had to try it ;)
 
Polux I've never seen that box before...the art is very nice, I'd choose that option also it looks beast. Lookin great so far bro.

Update :)

I primed the plane with Vallejo light grey.

The problem is I haven’t the needed grey colour for the lower side. The most similar I have is the medium sea grey or the hellblau....and both are incorrect. The pity is I can’t obtain it until Wednesday... :( and I don’t want to stop it. But if I paint on sea grey, Steve never will talk me again :D

How about using the hellblau & then shading the panels in a thin spray of white Polux? That would look good

Great job so far Polux ;)

It's a gift being able to do justice on such a tiny scale :) :)

I have been taking a look at the Steve colour....and looks more similar as my primer coat than the Hellblau :eek: I like your idea Patrick, my Stuka was painted on Hellblau and looks nice after the washes and others.

Mmmmm......I don't know what to do :(
