Focke-Wulf Fw 190

Jim J Looking forward to this one. Following along.

Murad ÖZER cheers Jim, tho i won't be able to take any wip shots.

Jim J OK then. I'll look forward to the final result. Good luck.

Peter Mollenhauer Excellent Job, Pavel!
I like the paint job and of course the extra details! Well done!

Jim J I attended "Luftwaffe Day" at the Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Museum (FHCAM) in Everett, WA last month and saw FW 190D-13 Yellow 10 for the first time. It's an amazing plane with an outstanding and unique camo scheme -- spectacular and impressive in person. The highly-knowledgeable museum staff have amazing stories and details to share of its history, both during the war and throughout its multiple restorations. I was so impressed that I immediately put this plane on my modeling to-do list.

I was surprised and happy to learn than Eduard had a 1/48 kit and I could find it available online. My plan is to depict this during its last month of wartime operation in April 1945. There are many photos of the plane taken after it was captured, disarmed, and marked with US insignia. I'm going to be adding some aftermarket detail kits and plan to use AK Real Colors paints for the first time. Supposedly they are super-accurate but have some controversial color conclusions (e.g., RLM 66, RLM 81, RLM 83). We'll see.

Yellow 10 has been modeled many times and is likely familiar to this audience. But if you're ever in the Seattle area, it's worth a trip to FHCAM to see it up close. After you see it you may find yourself wanting to build the model too (or again), especially if you're a Würger fan like me.

The camo scheme will be a big airbrush challenge but I'm looking forward to it! More to follow.

Dave Humphreys Check if this is the correct version

Fabrizio Castagna The quality of the molds is not excellent. We'll be required many adjustments, especially for the wings.
The cockpit is good, easy to build and detailed.

Matthew A The anticipation

Lucas Bakker Haha

Mark Excellent work Lucas!

Tom Gardiner Absolutely stunning build!

Jim J Thanks Tom!

Guy Rump Great underside paint scheme !

Holger Kranich Hi Zeljko, how did you like the kit? I have it in my stash. The engine at least, looks superb!

Cheers Holger

Zeljko Stojanovic Hi Holger!In general, I am very positively surprised with this model. I even think it's better than the similar Hasegawa Fw190 A8 . Good basis for super detailing. What's not good: too much is the simplified pilot cabin and the complete absence of rivets. Everything else is quite satisfactory.The engine is a model for itself. I did not work much on his details because I closed the covers.

Holger Kranich Thanks for the Info! I am looking forward to build it! Have you added pictures of your build here?

Zeljko Stojanovic Yes, I added pictures in the album Revell Fw190F-8

Andrew Eadon Great work Honza the detail on this model is excellent

Lode Schildermans Michael, one of my alltime favorite WW2 planes. Looking forward to your progress

Michael Hickey SO am I Lode, for the last 4 days or so I've been tossing up models like I'm a juggler or something. Hopefully my attention span will last long enough to get this simple kit finished. I don't want to say what I'd like to build next because every time the wind blows a different direction my mind changes with it. This is one of my favorites as well and feel free to help yourself to any of the seats available down in the first row.

Lode Schildermans Front row, mate. But if you can't keep your attention long enough for a plane, don't start ships, LOL

Holger Kranich Hi Mike and Lode, is there a place free?

Michael Hickey There is always room for you Holly.
