Eduard Fw-190 Weekend Edition

I like your 190, John.

Fictitious or not, the paint scheme looks pretty convincing to me. I'm not familiar with the actual yellow 7, but the box art looks well beyond my airbrush skill level too.

Eduard 1:48 190's have such wonderful skin detail you have to be careful not to overpaint or mess up decals. You sure nailed that, all that wonderful Eduard detail pops right through without being overstated.

My only negative is I wish you had done a WIP! (Though I'm familiar with the 190 profipacks, havent' done a weekend edition yet and I'm curious).

You're mottling is about as minimal as I recall seeing, and I think I really like it quite a lot. Definitely beats overdone, IMO.

Your attention to detail sure is top notch.

Greg;

Thanks very much!  I do have an older Profipack A-7 from Eduard.  I could do a WIP build for that one at some point.  It does not have quite the detail with the wing rivets and if I remember the fuselage is one of the trickier ones from them.

I really like the Mission Models paints as I only do acrylics.  I am starting to focus more on the painting and less on the photo etch stuff.  I think the paint work is more eye-catching than photo etched seat belts and rudder pedals.  Just my opinion though.

Almost done with my F/A-18E from Revell.  I usually have a couple going at the same time.

I like it John!  Those new Eduard 190's go together so much better than their older ones. Well done!

Very sharp looking build PJ. I can only imagine how challenging that cross hatch side pattern was to replicate well. No matter though, your scheme looks just fine in the standard side mottle.

I have a F6F Hellcat "Weekend Edition" I bought a couple of years ago.... not sure how they get "weekend" out of it, but it looks to be a very nice kit.  Your 190 is wonderful!  Thanks for sharing!

Nice work! I've built a few of the ProfiPack 190s and agree that the Weekend Edition would be tough to do in a weekend. 

Your Würger looks great! Perhaps you're depicting the aircraft just after it arrived at the unit -- after the tactical markings were applied but before the field team decided to spruce up the camo scheme? 

Thank you all.  It was a fun build.
