Hello friends! A little light chipping for tonight then it's on to final assembly and weathering. I can see the finish line.

OK, this one is taking WAY too long! Black and blue oil filters have been applied along with some very mild streaking. Next it's on to a flat coat then weathering to tone down the color variations.

Howsy friends. Well I've been laid off so I haven't been focusing on models lately but I did manage to get the landing gear done for this bird.

1/48 Tamiya Fw 190A-3 - Finished

Posted by Mopar Madness on Sunday, February 9, 2020 2:56 PM

Hello friends. I had such a great experience building the Hasegawa 190 I thought I would take a crack at the Tamiya kit. Nothing special here folks, just an out of the box ordinary 190.
