JJ let me be the first to tell you that your painting skills and the job in which you used those skills on this bird came together nicely. That sir is a well laid out and executed paint job. I really like the weathering on the landing gear.Thank you for being a part of this GB and as I do with all the mighty fine participants I've had in here, I'd like to encourage you to hang around and if not build another then continue to offer input and conversation. Thanks again buddy, Joe
P.S. I'll get these pics up soon.
Done....
J.J.: That landing gear looks great. nice work on them.
Joe: Magnificent work. You've got that D-9 looking awesome. Must feel good to have everything fit together nicely after wrestling with that A-8.

Geez Joe, it doesn't get any better than that! Your moving along pretty good.
JJ- Nice legs on that 190.
Joe... What can I say man ...Other then ,"Top Notch!" Everty thing is just masterfully done.
Monty, again... All that and a 72nd to boot... WOW!
Good to have you back Clemens. Will be seeing more of you soon as my goodies arrive for the first Corsair. Are you near paint yet on your Staffel! LOL... All 9 of them at once? LOL...This will be a great viewing!
Isnt it funny how we've grown to need and depend on our computers BlackDog? I'm not complaining, But Mine went down (minor issue) a month ago, and I felt TOTALLY isolated from the rest of the world! It was almost scarry!!! Get em back up ASAP so we can watch your progress!
Take care aii!

Well fellas now that the wings are together it's time for that last test fit of the engine/ nose module into the fuselage and the fuselage to wing fit before committing to adhere the wings to the fuselage.
all looks good here. A slight upwards angle due to everything sitting on the foam but it all fits like it was made to be there. This has to be the best fit I've ever had from a resin upgrade kit!
Onto gluing the parts together. No turning back now!!!!
and then another test fit after everything has dried. I almost did flips guys! It actually all fit like a dream!
This looks great JJ! I hope my landing gear turns out this good. I still have that bridge to cross as I have built up the Eduard A-8 struts and doors and so far the fit is good but I still have to get the gear angles right. Good job here!
I'm about 2 hours from done but I really wanted to off those G FACTOR brass oleos....
That was good for a laugh! Hahaha!

No we haven't made it that far yet. I had to send my pet dinosaur Dino over there with a note that was scribbled on a catalpa leaf ya smarty pants!
mustang1989 Thanks Clemens and Joe. Hey Joe, we modern folks here in South Texas rely alot on a clothes dryer to do most of our dryin' there pal. LOL

Oh..umm.. OK.. Does that mean you no longer talk to your neighbor with two cans tied together?LOL
Looking good Joe. By the way, is your wife aware that the laundry is falling off of the clothes line?
Looking like a nice fit! The gun bay adds a lot to the model IMO!
Good to see you back around blackdog and Clemens. I was wondering where you two got off to!
Ok guys.....assembling the wings!!
Ok, it's time for me to catch up!
Chanter: Your 190 looks great! That white scheme sure is something unique!
Doug: That's one truly amazing paint job, buddy! One of the 190s on my bench is painted in a similar scheme, so it's great to wacth someone as skilled as you painting such a winter camo! The dio base is looking very good as well!
Jugjunkie: Fantastic work! I can't wait to see her finished! The brass gear legs look awesome!
Monty: Very nice building and painting on your side as well! I'd never be able to pull of such a nice mottling paint job on a 72nd model!
John: I love the snake schemes! Your building progress is looking great so far!
Joe: All those resin goodies look great! You are doing some jaw-dropping work on detailling and painting your 190!
I hope i didn't miss anyone. 11 pages ain't that easy to reply to...
Cheers, Clemens
Hello everone I'm sry I disappeared pc problems and the holidays.
Everyones builds are looking great.
I have the main camo on my build getting ready for a clear cote.
I can only read the forums on my tablet and can't post pics from my phone. My daughter broke her laptop and has mine for school and that's what I use to post pics.
So. I'll post pics as soon as I can.the work I'm seeing posted is amazing.
Rigidrider Nice paint! I'd need a robotic arm and a magnifying glass to even attempt to do work that good on a 72nd! Doug

Nice colors Monty. If you can airbrush the mottle that well, I see no need for fuselage masks. Most 190s had real soft camo lines.
Monty, Very impressive paint work. You seem to be very adept with your airbrush to pull off such a beautiful mottling in 1/72. Nicely done.
Nice job on the paint job Monty!! Really nice!
Joe, that gun bay is really cool!
Monty, much appreciate your progress pics. Looking great, and a good learning tool for me. I'm still struggling with mottling in 1/48th. And yours is looking great in 1/72nd. Yikes! Nice work.
Youre really good at building anyway. I'd really like to see a kit that you build with one of these "aftermarket thingies" Monty.
Meanwhile - Progress has been straight forward. A bit delayed as (a) I ran out of paint supplies and (b) I was prepping up the diorama base and ground support vehicles.
Being 72 scale, nothing much to detail. I focused on getting the 190 a proper paint job. Out of the two (Tamiya's and Academy), the Academy Fw190 had better progress.
All photos are Academy's Fw190.
The standard pre-shading with XF-1 Flat Black
Painted the Light Blue with XF-23 which was lightened up with XF-2
Masking the fuselage with a combination of Blue-tack and paper.
Basic layer of camouflage XF-61 Dark Green and XF-27 Black Green all lightened up XF-2.
Working on the mottling.
Nice one on the open access panel, Joe! Need to get my hands and try these aftermarket thingies.
Thanks guys! I know it looks a little off kilter just laid out on the lower wing that way but it all comes together very clearly once the upper wings are intalled over the lower piece.
Fantastic work Joe! Everything is looking awesome.
