Omigod!
A Foke Wolfe with a Swastika, On the cover of the box! How rare!
Tanker-Builder Omigod! A Foke Wolfe with a Swastika, On the cover of the box! How rare!
Assembled and primered the engine I am impressed with it!
Mounted up the engine and front cowling,fit was not bad .
Put the landing gear and put the wing sections together ..
Had some trouble joining the wings to the fuselage had to sand and file the surfaces and there are gaps between the wing root and fuselage.Typical of older tooled kits! guaranty bank near me
As usual,the 3M Automotive Spot Putty dealt with the Seams after wet sanding with 320 grit wet/Dry sandpaper.
Decided to go with the black 5 paint scheme.Painted the airframe light blue ,although it was not really necessary to paint the upper wing surfaces,which will receive the dark green/black green cammo .

Cammo applied..
Made a paint shield for the yellow cowling ring to prevent iverspray.
Was successful!
Yeah, that's looking really good! Sad to say, but I remember seeing that box on the store shelves! I could never buy it though, it was worth a couple weeks allowance.

At the plate: 1/48 Airfix Bf109 & 1/35 Tamiya Famo
On deck: Who knows!
Yes I too remember that kit in the 70s but it was too expensive,best I could do was the old 1/48 Monogram white box version!
Painted the lower wing tips..
Added the decals ,some took a long time to release from the paper!
The FW-190 is looking great! Old kit but in the hands of a master modeler it's turning into a real gem.

I am pleased with the way it is coming out.Next up I have to paint the spiral on the spinner.Painted the spinner and will cut a thin strip of blue masking tape and carefully airbrush the black .
Getting the landing gear together.
Put the big guns under the wing as well as the drop tank.
Detail is prerty good for an older kit..
Nearing completion but the canopy sections were missing from the kit ,so it will be delayed if I can even find a replacement canopy.
It looks great. Good luck with the canopy. Id like to see this one finished. Ever since I started building Ive been a dedicated 1/48 builder... now Im older and my eyesights taking a dump so I may be switching to 1/32 soon... If I ever manage to get my current stash done that is.
Yes I hear you;I am 58 and the old eyesight isn't what it used to be even with glasses.I like the size and heft of 1/32 scale planes for sure!
