I'll be building a 1/72 Fw190 A8 and a 1/72 Fw190 D9 using markings from the various decal sheets I've accumulated over the years.

Top notch Tim

Tim do you require separate build threads for your FW190's?

TimJ · Posted: Fri 29 May 2009 16:10 pm Post subject:

I think I'll be OK with one thread but thanks for asking.

As there is about a week and a half to go I thought I'd post some pics.

Here's the A8/F8

box

sprues

nice blue instructions

decals

and the decal sheet I may be choosing an option from.

Dora

box

sprues

and instructions.

The kit decals have gone missing but I'm sure I'll find something to take my fancy on here..

or maybe here, which also has an A8 on it. Think

I rather like the D9 'Black 8' with natural metal undersides at the bottom of the sheet.

A good selection of decals there Tim

Yes, I've got quite a few 190s in the stash to put them on too.

Ayup Tim...

It seems to me that the deacals are worth more than the kits ! There are some expensive ones there mate.

Not much to report so far. I've painted the cockpit interiors and started on the pilots.

I really like you decals and colour scheme references. I must stop being a cheapskate and splash out a bit myself.

Tim, you might be able to help me. On the A/F 8 there's a hole in the fuselage, port side just abaft the engine cowling and just below the panel covering the cowling mounted guns.

It looks too neat and deliberate for a sink hole, and your sprue shot shows the same thing. Any idea what it is? Does your kit have anything to go in it?

After some problems with photobucket here's my progress so far. Cockpit interiors painted.

Pilots painted and waiting for their aircraft.

Looks like a pilot's JBO.

If you're wondering why there are four pilots, see Models on the go... for details.

Progress from last week. One set of wings needed a bit of assistance to stay together but I've got the airframes assembled and pilots on board.
