discussion Focke-Wulf Ta 183 'Huckebein' - 1/17

Thanks Joe

Today sprayed the underside crosses on the wings.
I've first cut some stencils from paper,


Placed them on the wings with Tamiya tape and sprayed some black (Vallejo) in the center,


Then covered the black with another paper stencil and sprayed white onto the corners,




That's all, I think most of the masking is done now
Thanks for reading & cheers

Hi guys,
Today I sprayed the whole model with a light coat of VMS Matt varnish,

Next I removed the canopy masking-tape,


The phone camera make the colors look more saturated then they are,


A bit awkward to get a descent image under my desk lighting due to the size of the model.
I'll try to make some better pictures outside soon...


Thanks for watching & cheers

Thanks Chris

Only a prototype was captured at the end of the war, both the Russians and Allies got their hands on the blueprints - the design data was then used in planes like the Soviet MiG-15 and F-84F Thunderstreak (and others)... cheers
