Thunnus Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) Here is my finished Border 1/35 Fw 190A-6 painted in the markings of Walter Nowotny's Double Chevron. It was built mostly out-of-the-box since I couldn't find much in the way aftermarket for this kit at the time. Major markings were painted using custom cut masks. The kit was slightly modified to depict the inner landing gear door configuration. I left the upper gun cowling and two engine cowlings unglued so that the gun compartment and some of the engine can be viewed but the trade-off is that the joints aren't as tight as they could be if they were glued.

Jaro Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Congratulations, an outstanding result! I love the paint job! Looking at the final outcome - the model itself seems to be a really good one. Waiting for the next airframe to land on your desk!

quang Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Very neat and tight building as always, John. I like the restrained yet noticeable weathering. You certainly did justice to the Border model. 1/32 or 1/35, who cares when the result is that astonishing? Thunnus and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
