**** DONE: GB-57 1/48 Fw 190A-8 - WW2 Foreign Service

[Ralph Haus]

Thanks Ralph. Time to get out the measuring stick before cutting

Oh! Another thing. These being Tamiya tape, I have never had any 'bleed' issues. So cut, peal and stick.

...but make sure you burnish down the edges anyway.

Geo, I tend to cut these freehand for the curves and with a ruler on the straights. I've always eliminated the doubt by staying on the line rather than inside or out. I use a sharp scalpel.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Have fun George.

I used them on the windscreen; stuck like frightened limpets and had to add a small piece to the right quarter pane. Using my own tape for the canopy. I hope to start spraying after the Canucks disappoint me for the 32nd time

 

[Crimea_River]

Looky looky OT win.

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far George!

 

[fubar57]

4 wins in a row!!! Did some spraying before the game. First I laid down a splotchy pattern of Vallejo White Primer and then lightly sprayed Tamiya XF-7 Red to try and break up the monotony. I might go back over some areas, not sure yet

​

Tried to show an over-spray of the RLM02 in the wheel wells; kinda sorta worked

​

Letting this setup for 24 hours and then will spray the black fuselage wings markings tonight. A bit of a concern as I sprayed the red immediately after the white so there may be paint lifting

[Crimea_River]

Wow, looks like a popsicle.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Where's my sunnies.

 

[fubar57]

Last of the spraying, added licorice.

​

Tother side looks the same

​

Not sure why the wing walks extend underneath but they do

​

Gloss coat later

[Ralph Haus]

Like Andy, almost looks editable!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Very bright.

 

[Crimea_River]

That light blue background really makes the colour pop.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

I was looking at that liquorice, it reminds me of Pontefract cakes.

 

[fubar57]

My other two back drops; black may be the way to go for finals

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Really pops out on the black.

 

[fubar57]

Propeller and spinner, black or RLM70?
