Aviacom Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Hi Guy's, Well after the disappointment with the FW 190D9 that I am stalled on, I thought I'd drag this project off the shelf and get started on it. Now, I am no FW 190 expert, so I may need some help throughout this build, but as far as I am concerned, I have everything that I need to get going. Don't worry about the 'Sturmbock' boxing of the kit, it's actually just a standard A version kit in there, but it was loose so I had to use this box to keep it in as it was the only spare box I had that I could find! So, I have all of these bits and pieces to add in with the build, and a lovely wooden base to put it on as well. I am going to try and open up a few extra panels as well as the engine and forward gun bay, things like Fuel Filler Caps, Main Fuselage Access, Tail Wheel Access Panel, Etc. And the schemes that I have to decide on are: Yellow 8 of JG 301. There are plenty of pictures showing this towards the end of the war with patched up paintwork, patched up and Mismatched panels, etc. (I actually really like the Black/White Chequer Cowl version from 1943. I was also asked by a few people what my work bench looks like: So, with mojo still on a high, on we go................. Cheers!

Aviacom Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 This one is 'On Hold' now as I've just received the correct parts to finish the 190D9 that I am doing. I'll be straight back on to this once the D9 is finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aviacom Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 Does anyone know where I can find any photos or pictures of 'Yellow 8' or her sister ships towards the end of the war? Currently, Im working from the one well known grainy photograph that's on the web! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviacom Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) So, it's one of these schemes that i'll do this in, but i'm undecided which! (I do like the 'Checker Nosed' bird!!) I also have the masks for the Nowotny bird and also the Yellow 8 aircraft, Hmmmm, decisions decisions! Which one would you do??

Scale32 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Haha buy 2 more kits and build all 3! Seriously yellow 8 appeals to me the most. Cheers Bevan monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Probably Yellow 8 or just buy two more kits! Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviacom Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 I've been 'tinkering' with this build for the last couple of days! Really enjoying it. I also started cutting out every removable hatch on the aircraft and started backing off the holes with the right flanges, etc. I also bought a new 'Toy' to work alongside my H&S Infinity CRPlus airbrush, I've used it a few times so far and WOW!! What a game changer it is! So, i'll let the pictures speak for themselves. (Please bare in mind this aircraft will be modelled weathered, filthy and pretty beat up, just like they were with the constant daily use they got) HB252, Uncarina, Jim Barry and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
