My Second Modelling Attempt, Dortenmanns' Fw 190A-8....

[lesofprimus]

While I was messing around in my old thread, I deleted the damn thing and cant get it back....

Oh well, I have finally finished this Hasegawa 1:32 Fw 190A-8 of Hans Dortenmann.... The weathering is completed..... First set of pics is the pre-weathering shots, then the finished model....

Jolly good show old chap....carry on...what's next, a Bf 109?

 

[lesofprimus]

Heres the finished shots... Thanks to ALL u bastards that helped me through the learning process..... Wayne, Wojtek, TThud, Erich and the whole lot, u guys have been a huge help.....

Very nice Les - I like the last shot particularly.

lesofprimus, that looks great, the weathering looks excellent. Those hasegawa 1/32 A-8's go together pretty nice. I just finished one last month myself. I cheated and did back date it to an A-7. The only thing I didn't like is the flapes are down at a 90 degree angle, 190's flaps could go 60 degrees. I did fix my example either had to get it done for a show.

Excellent Les!!

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks fellas...

Yea, I re-set the flaps for the correct angle as well... Also fixed the other errors that I could with putty....

Great kit...
It was my first try using an airbrush for anything, on top of being only the second model Ive built in the last 20 years.... I think it came out far beyond my expectations.... Learned some mistakes and little tips along the way, so the next one should be better....

I love learnin new sh!t....

Great, Les. Makes me feel like a kid again. Wonderful job!

I too have been working with my youngest one. We made a F4F and a Naboo fighter. If I get my nerve up, I'll post our next round of development. You have inspired me.

Looks real good, Les. I see you found the handle on the new spray outfit.
Really nice.

If that's one of your first attempts at late war molt with an airbrush you did a outstanding job. Getting the molt to look right and the fethered edge to scale is one of the most difficult things to do. I'll post some pics of my A-8. when I get the time.

 

[ThunderThud]

Looks Great Dan. Now you need a Bf-109 "gustav" sitting next to it!

 

[Heinz]

Awesome work Les

 

[Thorlifter]

Sweet work Les. I like the camera shots as well.

Looks Great Dan. Now you need a Bf-109 "gustav" sitting next to it!

I would have to agree with that. Where in the house are you going to put it Les? That's a big bird.

 

[lesofprimus]

Check the Post a Pic of Your Computer Desk thread in the Personal Gallery.... I have both my 109F of Victor Baur and Dortenmanns' 190A-8 sitting right there...

 

[Screaming Eagle]
