This is my 1/72 scale Revell Fw 190A-8 built mostly O.O.B. except for the rear canopy which came from an old Italeri kit. Paint is Model Master enamel paints and decals used are from Kagero and my decal spares box.

The weathering effects I tried out on this model will be used on my large scale Fw 190A-10 what-if projekt...opps, I mean project.

looks good to me

Very nice indeed!

Do you build anything other than 190s?

Thanks Martin H and pyro-maniac!

pyro-maniac,
Yes I build other aircraft types but for the time being I am a one person group build for Focke-Wulfs.

The good news is at least half of my Focke-Wulfs will be what-if types, including the Ta 183, Ta 283, Ta 152C, and Ta 154. The new Dora book by Jerry Crandall has given me a lot of good ideas for what-ifs.

Good to know. Was a bit worried you were one of these obsessive types.

Looking forward to seeing more from you.

Great build

Didn't realise it was 1/72

Nice looking model. And the base & background for the photos really make it look good.

and realistic-like weathering

Very realistic looking display. Love the weathering and the backdrop is superb !

Thanks guys!

The pictures are not that great because it was very dark and overcast that day but I can't complain too much though, at least it was not raining like here like usual.

No

you should tell us the truth: this is not a scale model from plastic little kits but old photographs of Reality, which is (almost) forbidden here... Such perfection for human modellers is very impossible, so you would be an extraterrestrial or something, no this is just a joke, I know.

Thanks very much Tophe!

I have been called worse things than an extraterrestrial before.

That's a great build!

BTW It would be great that you teach us how to get that spiral in spinner. I presume is a decal but it is not easy anyway
