curiouslysophie Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 My Revell Fw-190 is finally at a point I’d call finished. This kit has hands every bit of aftermarket thrown at it, much to my chagrin at times. This is my first aircraft, I’m still learning the techniques, so I’m not 100% happy with everything. It’s all a learning process though! I used Vallejo Model Air paints and a pretty cheap airbrush, which resulted in a less than great paint job. I am swapping to MRP and a decent airbrush for my next project. This is a fictional late war aircraft, as I prefer to build that way, rather than try to precisely model a real aircraft. I have since taking the pictures realised that I’m missing the gear indicators on the wings, and that the machine gun hatch clamps should be on the body and not the hatch. Anyway, on to the pictures! Excuse the poor photo quality, I only have my phone to take pictures, my DSLR is broken sadly. Hope you enjoy!

AlanG Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Love it. For your first ever aircraft i'd be well chuffed with that. And after all. It's a wurger so it's always going to be good curiouslysophie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 That's a fantastic model, it's hard to believe this is your first aircraft. Paintjob is excellent and if you wouldn't have mentioned it I wouldn't have notice that the markings are fictioanl. Hats off!!

Jager Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Very nice work. One of my favorite propeller driven aircraft. Your interpretation and execution is meticulous. Let us know what contest you will be at next with this aircraft and I won't enter in that category. Thanks for sharing. What other subjects have you done? curiouslysophie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Great work! I too would have never known the markings were fictional......the paint and weathering are just my speed too. Well done! curiouslysophie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Bettencourt Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Really nicely done!! Thanks for sharing. Rod curiouslysophie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curiouslysophie Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 Thank you all for your lovely comments, especially from people who’s builds wow me with their detail! I’m hoping I can bring some more planes to you soon. I’ve started on the cockpit of my next plane, an Me-262 A1a. Should be a fun build! 9 hours ago, Lothar said: That's a fantastic model, it's hard to believe this is your first aircraft.

My models aren’t nearly good enough for any contests, so I think you’ll be okay, lol. Prior to this I have only ever done 1/16 scale armour. Sadly I sold all my kits off, but I am working (very slowly) on Trumpeter’s Panther G. 3 hours ago, Out2gtcha said: Great work!

Aircraft weathering is a lot more precise than it is on armour. Tanks get dirty! I want my planes to look like worn, used, and loved machines.

brahman104 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Wow! I've been building aircraft for years and NONE of mine look that good! Very well done Craig curiouslysophie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee in Texas Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Nice work. Go to a show sometime. I think you would find that your work can be a contender. curiouslysophie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Uuuhh... my first model airplane didn't look this good. 9 hours ago, curiouslysophie said: I like to go for ‘historically plausible’. I like your approach curiouslysophie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Very impressive, looking forward to seeing your 262 progress. curiouslysophie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringleheim Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Oh I love this! Tons of detail all over, very well executed, just the right amount of weathering. Makes me want to go make a Revell FW-190! Keep going, Sophie! curiouslysophie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fab Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Well done, It would asked me one year to do it! Bravo Fab curiouslysophie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
