Czechoslovak Air Force S-90 ( Fw 190A-8/F-8)

I asked colleagues modellers what scheme suits better.


Colleagues chose another older camouflage and I'll do the model.

Till midnight march 8.2020. And I'm starting March 1. 2020 at 16:45h.

And few pics from "Operation S-90" 

Starting point 

Whats happen?    Something is wrong? 


Keep calm .... all gets easy

Morning 15-minutes.....

Nothing surprising..... 




....with simply solution:Little bit trimmig on inner fuselage edge ( between arrows).
Glueing engine lower cover, then settling on fuselage behind wing....and .... holding it all on place.



And result with "little walleys" on fuselage - wing joint...



Next planned session is "puttying, sanding.... puttying, sand..... ".
Nothing uncommon for modellers ...

That looks more than a little warped! 

Which kit was it?

I'm not a fan of the new tool Airfix kit - it just feels a bit clunky in places. Personally, I would have went for the 1997 Revell kit - the only things wrong with it are the solid canopy bit moulded with the fuselage spine and if the instructions are followed, the u/c is too upright. 

As for scheme, anything worn by the S199s would be more appropriate, although the Air Police one in NMF/Red would look most spiffing.  I did a Hobbyboss Dora in the overall green scheme.

1:72 Avia S.91 (NATO Code 'Finch B'); aircraft 'IF-07' of 2. Letka, 1. SLP, Czechoslovak Air Force (Československé vojenské letectvo); Letňany AB, summer 1950 (Whif/Academy kit conversion) by dizzyfugu, on Flickr

This is actually close to pattern 4a in the list above. And I'd add an overall RLM02/greenish grey option, too.

The Wooksta! .... best Fw 190A/F in 1:72 scale is from Eduard.... 
Dizzyfugu: ... very nice "Fock" ...

That's also a nice alternative.

Because I´m not a "true modeller" - only "gluer" ( like we say here in Czech repblic  ) -  You must please excused low quality of my builds....

I wholeheartedly agree - their Spitfires are the current Platinum standard -  but the Revell 190 is cheaper and can be thrown together very quickly.  It's also very accurate  - IIRC I asked Arthur Bentley to have a look over it when it came and he reckoned it was bang on the money.

[Dizzyfugu]

No need for excuses - it is what it is: a creative idea!

[Captain Canada]

Looking good so far !

[PantherG]

I not excused for colour scheme..... but for poor quality of build...

Ooops, sorry. 

I was dazzled by all the lovely colour schemes that you've posted.

Today only verbally: riveted horizontal tails and top of the wing.... but it looks like "monday working shift" (after "very wet" weekend).....
