Agreed! I reckon they look nice Rob!

Yep, the look fine Rob. If you want even more depth, then a thin, dark wash, brushed in and allowed to settle, should work quite well.

Nearly mentioned the same Terry. It would top them off very nicely.

Nice one Sergio! Bet you had fun with the mottling - looks like you very carefully handbrushed it (?)
Wow, thats different!
Looks like we've got a good bunch of 190's on the go ATM. That F-8 looks interesting. Either way, I've been working on this Hasegawa 1/48 Fw-190A-9/R8 (or R2....whichever you please). Goes together like a dream and I really wanted to get on with the paint job as I don't have that much experience with spraying mottle and such. Destined to be made into a Fieseler build JG.300 Sturmbock (possibly 6.JG.300 Edwald Preiss yellow 1 or 6.JG300 Paul Lixfeldt's yellow 12), so a red band on the fuselage is yet to be sprayed on. Mottle is quite dense in this case, but this is apparently especially the case with Fieseler build A-8's. I might go in with RLM76 to touch it up a little left and right, but sofar I'm pretty happy with the result.
I've got more pics to show, so once finished I'll put together a start-to-finish topic. In terms of construction I admit to cutting a few corners here and there, but I think of this build as a prelude to the 1/48 Eduard Fw-190A-8/R2 kit. This time around I wanted to focus on the paint job, not 200% accuracy.

Looking good so far Jelmer.

Nice work Jelmer!
Bravo !!!THX guys. I'm thinking about turning it into Paul Lixfeldt's Yellow 12 of JG.300. Which leaves still a few things to be decided upon. A light ring around the frontend of the engine cowling for example. Hasegawa suggests it is bare metal or something, but looking at pics of the thing, me thinks that is quite unlikely.

Erich would probably confirm, but I'd guess it's more likely either RLM76, or maybe even grey primer.
According to these pictures I found via the net it looks like being of RLM76. It might have been "re-freshed" by the maintence crew at airfield or replaced with parts taken from another Fw190A. That's why it is looking lighter than other areas of the plane. It doesn't seem to be either yellow or silver as it has been suggested.
Based on the same pictures I was thinking the exact same thing Wojtek. Even though the quality of these pics isn't too happening it is quite obvious that this particular puppy is pretty beat up and worn out. Maybe a few damaged panels have been replaced or some paint work touched up somewhere down the line with the basic RLM colours on hand. Together with the partially RLM02 armour plates on the sides it will make for a few interesting features to go on this Fw-190
