Mexican FW190s - two quick builds (hopefully!)

[GTX]

Looking good - I should really get around to doing my 'Mexican' (in reality German) Mistel - would make a nice compliment to these.

Very nice looking! I bet they could use a few of these down on the border right now.

Bump!

Just to say the NMF bird has had a reprise, but is no longer Mexican and instead belongs to the XI cohort of Legio V Aluadae fighting in the 2nd Aztec War   You can thank the Britmodeller Kick Up the Arse GB!

Camo one is also slated to be finished before year end.

Mexican Fw 190s? Now that's something different!  The camoed one looks pretty nice! 

Aztec war? So the location remains the same, only the sides change?  Oh, and the time frame. By only about two thousand years.

The NMF on that bird is sexy.

If you have the SNJ (or similar) powder/cloth, that works for me to polish up the natural metal stuff.  I've even had some limited success using the powder on unpainted styrene.

Doesn't matter so much now because its going to be a heavily weathered NMF, but since I sprayed these I've always made sure to stand my cans in warm water for 5 minutes before spraying - with much better results.

All done!  Brother Narses came up with the back-story, but think of Mexico with a right-wing Nationalist government, aligned with the Axis powers. 

No sunlight whatsoever here, so photos under lamps which don't show the subtleties of the filters I've applied. 









Finished model #7 for 2008!

>No sunlight whatsoever here,<

Hmmm. "Where the sun don't shine" has a particular meaning in my part of the States, generally used with "Stick it". Hope it doesn't apply here! Think orifice at the end of the alimentary canal.

These Fw-190's would be good companions to the Mexican AF P-47's they had. Maybe, like Israel in the late forties, "Axis" and "Allied" aircraft would be fighting alongside each other.
