Thx Boris and Kev.
@Kev.
Hell yeah, this is my first Tamiya FW190 1:48, and yes ill definitly do another of them when i need a break from a big build (as yove seen before) and go basic once a while, and just relax and have fun, and on top get a pleasing model that looks great in the glass cabinett.

Thx All for the kind words.
I wanted to have a relaxed, no advanced, easy, traditional, fun, relaxing Mals way build, lets call it weecation build
needed time from my P51.....Decided basic techunices as drybrush and pinwashing with oils before i started this build, theese simple texhinices is not to be underestemated since the for shure are wery effective techniques to use to get a real nice looking model......
So its not neccecary to have all that newest gadget thing on the market thats solves everything thing
in weathering to get a good looking model 
Hehe i like and love to try all those new gadget thing things lol

Allright here we go.
This is my No: 12 since my restart approx two yrs ago, havent build in 19-20yrs....
he Kit...
The kit is the Tamiya FW190a3 1/48 scale, it went togehter without fuzz, no filler needed at all, the only tiny gaps this model had were located at the upper wing root and on the joint between enginge cowl and the fuselage, the wing joint ive use hombrew surfacer made out of tamiya putty solved in acetone (benefit, it dries fast), take a small bruch an let the capilaryforce do the rest, and the gap at the enginecowl were solved with some thin sheet of plastic card, glued in to place and after that futted to right shape.
Paint, Weathering and Techniques Used...
Model were primed with Vallejo Neutral Grey.
The paints ive used is Tamiya in the cockpit and detailed with Vallejo Model Colors, ive used the dryprushing techunice with Vallejo colors to make things pop out, the camo painting i went for Vallejo Model Air, the clearcoat was Tamiya Clear heavily diluted in Isopropanol, and many thin coats, The Airbrush i used is a H&S Infinity whith 0,2 (my first Aibrush for that matter lol )
decals were tricky one, theu were very stiff inded, bucket loads of softener needed to get them down in them panel lined, little help from a scalpel cutted along the panel line, after that they got settled down nicely. after that clear coat over the decals and then after that the Oilwash, ive used Windsoor Water Mixable Oils, the colors were lamp Black and Sienna Red solved in Beckers odurless thinner (yep don got to use water, they mix perfectly with beckers Paint Thinner), and ive pinnewashed all the corners, and lines and let the capilary force work for me.
On top of that decanned Tamiya TS 80 Flat clear and airbrushed, love that flat finnish (ive tried many different flat clears).
I Really do rekomend this kit, its cheap, nice fit, aceptable detailed thats enough to get a nice model out of it.
All in All it took one week for all of this.
allright enoug words and over to the pics instead.
The result, at the end few pics from the progress.
Enjoy.

Thx all for the kind words.
Yep, this is my interpretation of Mrs bonnie
lets say Mals Way.....imagine how it would be if i were there...
if its right or wrong, i dont know, the only one who knew how it looked is the pilots, maintance crew and so on, they knew...so let say...
and i say have fun all the way
after missions and so on, some cleaned before a photo or dirty.......hehehe Mals Way....of looking at it...But hey i take all the input contructive and honest opinions, im very glad for that, that pushes me forward in my modelling.
/Mal
-
WOW.....
This looks great,
redones is never fun, but for shure builds skills fast, why accept a model if not pleased, do a redone, ive seen Franks 109 redone 3 times, the result speaks for it self.
So this is the right way to go i think if not pleased with something.

Wolf.
Yeah, you are right, they loo red, hard to tell but they shure look red.
Also the antiglare is black,
The stains also look like its wiped, by maintance crew.
Ill see what i do, or i leave it as it is, lol
