Airfix 1/24 Focke-Wulf 190 - Finished!

Recommended Posts

Well I'm pleased to say that the Focke-Wulf is completed. I'm not 100% happy with it, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pleased.

 

This Focke-Wulf had previously been gathering dust on a shelf for twelve years before being sold to me. Thanks Boris.

Thanks again to reconspit for sending me 4 pairs of swastikas - meaning I have enough for two more 1/24 Luftwaffe planes.

Thanks to everyone that cheered me on as well, making this build even more fun. :)

 

It's OOB except for the seatbelts (my first ones ever). I painted it with Humbrol Enamels and brush/sponge.

 

Here's some pictures for yous to enjoy - hopefully they're not too crappy!

Not bad! In this scale you should be able to replicate the mottling with a rattle can shooting through a mask(cardboard) or maybe a more open cell type of sponge or foam.

What's next?

Thanks for your comments guys!

 

@ Scanman & LSP_Mike .. you both want to know what's next! Well, so do I! :D

 

It's basically choosing between the Airfix BF109E and the Airfix Hurricane. It's a very hard choice for me. The 1/24 Spitfire is also rather tempting.. all of them have been built in my teens (Mustang as well), but it's the BF109 and Spit that I have the fondest memories of. I remember bringing the 109 to school once in my backpack. Wings sticking out of its sides.. haha.

 

I think it'll be the 109. Maybe.

 

Bah.

 

And regarding mottling with a rattle can... that would be cheating, wouldn't it? ;) The sponge I use is a regular kitchen sponge.. but cut with scissors into different sizes for different jobs. I don't think the mottling turned out too bad, so I'll stick to that technique!

Thank you kindly for your nice comments, DaneBramage & Maru. :)

 

While I wait to afford my next large kit next month, I have started building the two 1/48 Eduard Focke-Wulf 190D's that Boris gave me for free. They're so small! :D
