Aircav1980 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 This build had taken me a long time. I set it aside of a long time. I am finally ready to call it done. It is a Hasegawa FW190 A-5 kit with a Eduard photoetch cockpit, RB productions seat belts, and some Master Models brass barrels. The kit decals were virtually unusable so I used Eagle Editions decals for the placards and some of the smaller markings. For the other markings I used a custom set of Stencil Pal stencils that were made for me. It is done in mostly Vallejo acrylic paints with a few Tamiya acrylics in it. Please forgive my photography. I tried very hard to get a shot of the cockpit which turned out very much to my liking. There are a few minor flaws on the model but I got to the point that I know if I tried to fix them I would do more harm then good. Thanks for looking.

mywifehatesmodels Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Great job! I know about the troubles you had, especially with the decals and masking, but it's not evident in your final pics. If I could make one detail critique, it would be the antenna wire. It had a tensioning system with this early style canopy that kept it taut, even when the canopy was opened. A very minor detail, however and the model appears very cleanly built and, again, I love the masking work that you did! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircav1980 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Thanks for the info on the antenna wire. I wasn't really sure what it did with the canopy open. Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Terrific 190 ... fit and finish is so well done. :thumbsup: Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Wow, that looks excellent! I like the cleaner look. Its nice to see a 190 not all super mucked up. I might agree with John on the antenna. If I may, I might also suggest using a slightly thinner filiment like Uchis rigging material, or even some fine EZ Line. However, that takes away nothing from a really super build! Congrats on a really fine model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
