1/48 Eduard FW 190 A-4 (New Tooled) JG1 “Burath” FINISHED

as I said before....Gorgeous!

On the heels of our last back and forth, I immiediately went home and looked for my kit, and it turns out, I have the Hasegawa version, and what caught my eye was the striped nose!  I had started to build this exact plane!  Unfortunately, when I put it away because of one reason or another, I somehow lost the canopy.  So before I can pick it up again, I need to find a replacement..... 

Joe, looks like another masterpiece. I’m glad to hear the AK Real Colors are working for you... I think I’m going to pick some up when I start a Soviet plane in a few builds. I’ve hitched myself to Mission Models for about every other country, but I don’t mind their consistency. 

Let me ask you really quick, can you brush paint the AK colors at all?

I'm starting to run out of words that best describe what I see in your builds Joe. You're really showin' us all up here though I can tell ya that.

Thanks Justin. I can check my spare parts box for a spare. I know the Eduard kit came with two. Do you want to try to shoehorn it on there?

Thanks Max. I’m not a fan of Mission. I liked them initially but then I started having mixtur/consistency issues. Perhaps I should give them another try. AK is just so much better though. Awesome paints. I haven’t tried brush painting with them yet. 

I just found a bunch of Gunze paints I forgot I had. Gonna have to go through those first.
