FW-190F-3/R3
Posted by Texgunner on Monday, February 16, 2004 4:51 PM
Just after Christmas I found some bargain-priced kits at Hobby Lobby. This was one of them; the Revell Pro-Finish FW-190. It was half-price so I thought I would experiment and see what I could do with it. It was interesting having to deal with the pre-finished parts. I added some hypodermic-tubing gun barrels, did a little cockpit work, added some brakelines, weathered fairly heavily including overspraying the model with Floquil Dust and used a few extra decals. Overall, it makes a pretty nice "3 footer" I guess(and a nice stable-mate for my Fujima FW-190D).
ps. when you open the photo, you can use the "back to pictures" link to see the rest of the photos currently in this group. Thanks, Gary

yeah Joe, I built them all. I've got about 35 1/48 scale models in my display cabinet; built since about '87 or'88 i guess. My rate of production is pretty slow. In a good year, i'll finish maybe 4. There is NEVER enough time is there? Gary

NIce work again. Those prepainted kits do offer some interesting builds. I've built the P-51B and the P-47 Bubbletop that were in the series. Made up into neat little kits with a bit of work.
