The Fw 190A-9 of Siegfried Baer, 5.Staffel, II./JG301, in Detail....

Ok the build begins....with the main cockpit components separated from their sprues.
The main instrument panel gets a coat of Dark grey, then the main dials a coat of black paint but it will come to life quickly.....

Next step is dry brushing a light grey to pick out the details, this one step transforms the rather ordinary look of the black applied to the dials.

Next step pick out the details with a silver pencil, colours to the appropriate dials and switches, finish with a small drop of gloss clear to the dials and we're done.
