I just remembered Wayne did mention his preference for post shading, I think.
I need to take more notes in modelling class

 

[Wayne Little]

Smoke and mirrors, you Guys!

moving on to 9 - 12 o'clock...

 

[Wurger]

Smoke and mirrors, you Guys!

But the question is still how you did to that.

 

[Catch22]

Haha, exactly!

 

[Trebor]

damn fine work, Wayne!

though you may wanna put a bit of silver on the props to show a bit of wear?

XD this advice coming from a crappy modeler |D

 

[Catch22]

The thing about Fw 190 props is that they were fabric covered wood.

 

[Wurger]

Yes, and the primer had a different colour.

 

[ccheese]

Yes.... inquiring minds want to know, Wayne...

Charles

 

[Trebor]

their props were made of wood? I thought practically everything (except the Mosquito) of an aircraft was made of metal?

 

[Heinz]

Lots of timber was used in aircraft Trebor.

The Hurricane was all fabric back from the cockpit.

 

[Wayne Little]

In this case the prop would be metal, but this aircraft was very new being delivered from the Fiessler works at Kassel probably in mid-late June 1943. It was written off on the 29th July 1943 when it was rammed by another Fw190..so the pilot did not have it very long.

 

[Wayne Little]

a few more....from the front..

 

[Heinz]

Great stuff Wayne

 

[Heinz]

Forgot to ask, thats just a piece of blue card behind the model yeah?

Your photos always do the models such a great justice
