GB-36 1/32 Fw 190A-8/R2 - Axis Manufactured Aircraft of WWII

[Lucky13]

First of all....these Hasegawa instruments are S. H. I. T. E(!), after two attempts I gave up plus after checking the AMPE, I decided that those were a no go....so I painted and drybrushed the panels....

Sorry Werner!

 

[Wurger]

Looking good though.

 

[parsifal]

nice work so far Jan

 

[Lucky13]

Many thanks gentlemen....appreciated!
Wasn't giving up....was more pissed off with the decals, they were having none of
it....I've never had decals roll over themselves....every time that I straighted them out and returned later on....voila'....same again!

I hate it went decals, particularly small ones that can't be replaced, won't behave.
The panel is looking good though old boy - do have a sherry !

Nice start and agree with the decals

 

[Crimea_River]

You did well in spite. More than acceptable Jan!

 

[Lucky13]

Just been dropped off....

The IP looks nice Jan! I'd rather paint the dials as you have done than try to put decals onto a dial face with raised details.

 

[Wayne Little]

Done good there Jan.

 

[Lucky13]

Thanks guys....appreciated as always!

Just to see if it'll bend easily, leave like this for a wee bit....not glued yet!

A suggestion Jan. You might want to score the back of that armour plating with some 80 grit sand paper otherwise the CA may not stick to the smooth surface. Once you do though, be careful as the CA will "grab" right away and you will have no time to adjust the position.

 

[Lucky13]

Would this be how the pilot should look like?

my name is Michael Caine !

I think he has a sufficiently concerned look on his face for late summer 1943.

Depends when your man is flying Jan. Could be an all leather outfit for late 44.

 

[Airframes]

More than likely. Probably wearing the 'Kanal' pants, with matching jacket, either in blue fabric, or leather, or a combination of both.
Post a pick of the plot figure.

Somewhere around '43-44 I'd guess, it depends when they got their Fw 190A-8/R2's....and he was killed in October' 44 if I remember correctly....need to go back and check!
