Eduard Fw-190A-3

Guillaume Blanchet
YOU were rigth Joshua, I missread the text in the instruction manual and this model was in deed a A-3. Since the kit contains a lot of extra part I was thinking that I was using part for the A-4, it got clarified after read the description under the paint pattern in the instruction book.

Happy new year!

Guillaume Blanchet
Thanks Joshua & Roland. It's a really easy fuselage to assemble & paint since there is no protrusion for radiator ans other inline engine gizmos.

The landing gear are almost done now. I'll be doing the weathering during the weekend. I also had to shim the propeller hub since I have misread the instruction and installed the fake engine behind instead of ahead of the positioning rib. A little plate of styrene made wonder

Funny thing happen too. I realized I had applied clear coat over salsa sauce. I managed to scratch it with the point of my X-acto . I'll have to be more careful after my nachos break. 😛

Looking good 👍

Guillaume Blanchet
The build is done. It's it a nice kit and really give justice to the wonderful airplane it recreate.

I also got around to get the technique of making wire cable with melted sprue parts. I Have now retro fitted all my model with wire cable.

Thanks guys, really apricated.

Ottovon, I had to use a lot of Micro Sol, but the decal being of high quality, managed to hold together while I was pushing it in every recess.

Guillaume Blanchet

That is another nice build Guillaume. Your build brings back good memories. One of the first kits I ever built was a Fw with these markings.
