Furie Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Hello, everyone. After 20 years without sticking and painting plastic, after admiring so many beautiful constructions I decided a few months ago to resume this activity. Long live retirement!!!! So I started building this FW 190 F-8 from Revell. The model is pretty, quite precise, rather detailed even if the assembly of the cowl engine remains quite problematic because of its many parts that compose it. The WIP is here. The engine is quite complete, I only added a few ignition wires and rockers. An accurate painting, a little panel liner to emphasize the reliefs and ca is enough because it is not very visible once installed in its place. I set about engraving all the rivet lines on this FW 190... The cockpit has been improved with an Eduard set. An Archer set for mobile control surfaces. The painting started with a BB'ing. The paints used are MRP only. I used the Reskit wheels and a U/C set from Eduard : And also a set of Montex masks that caused me some problems but in the end it gives this: Thank you to everyone who came to visit my WIP, your messages and encouragement helped me a lot and I hope you had a good time with me. A huge thank you to Max and William who are for something in the finish of this model. I give you an appointment for another WIP but this time there will be no black crosses but red stars. Merci à vous les amis, c’est un vrai plaisir de partager ce moment avec vous. Denis.

mywifehatesmodels Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Fantastic job, Denis! This build was fun to watch and a great example of your attention to certain details and not surrendering, even when fixing some of those details was difficult, or very inconvenient. Very inspirational! Thanks for posting. John Uncarina, Furie, Christa and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed you on this FW 190! 2 hours ago, Borsos said: Great you found back to the hobby as this here looks simply fantastic! Cordialment Andreas Thanks Andreas for your message. I stopped models in 2001. At the time I was modeling 1/48. But at the time the forums and YT did not exist. Everyone stayed in their corner. Here, it is the opposite: sharing, good humor and then seeing all these talented modelers at work is extremely motivating. 1 hour ago, Shoggz said: Denis, a glorious result and a testament to your determination to get things right. Thank you Richard, your message makes me very happy. It’s still something to post in the RFI forum! How’s your Mustang coming? 1 hour ago, John Stambaugh said: Excellent! Thank you for sharing. Thank you John, glad to be able to share this build, because at one point I did so much nonsense… Martinnfb, Antonio Argudo and MikeMaben 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
