Beautiful paintjob Jan! This is not such an easy one, but I think you nailed it just about right!

the camo was a challenge indeed, done freehand but it worked out fine

Outstanding, Jan! One of the pictures in the album suggests to me that you are working over the paint coat(s) with a sanding stick, is that right?

Hi Jan, congratulations, my favorite camo that the FW-190 could have!
Amazing work paint that you have here.

Only one question if i may, why did you apply the dark color first? Its harder to cover it when we then apply lighter colors...

Thank you for sharing it whit us. 🙂

some answers:

Burkhard, normally i get a very smooth result when spraying
(i use Tamiya and Gunze for spraying, and add directly in the bottle Tamiya lacquer thinner and Tamiya clear, and spray these in very thin layers) but this time the result of the green was not what i wanted so i used a polishing stick to smooth the surface

Vitor , when i looked at the camo scheme, i decided not to follow the normal route of the lightest colour first, but to spray the light green first since it looked the most common colour and was still light enough to cover is it with the sand
