Hi guys!
I know that this gb has already expired, but better now than never. My plan was to finish this between Christmas and New Year, but suddenly deadline for my work things decreased with two weeks. So no time for finish this then.
I don´t have in progress pictures, but I try to list what I did with this FW Ta-154.
I had to add lead weights also inside spinners to prevent tail sitting. If you are building this kit belive the instructions and put that 50 gram weight in BOTH engine nacelles! 100 grams total!
Although I put that square tube inside the wings those still tryes to bend down.
Because this is night fighter I choosed two quite dark grays for the scheme. Upper surface is bit darker with tint of green. I´m not yet familiar with my new camera yet, so I´m not sure does this all show in pictures.
I tested first time that flexible thread (or something) for antenna wire. Needed bit practice, but worked well at the end. It was called "Rig that thing!" from Uschi, Germany.
Decals are from Techmod, Poland. "Finnish Air Force swastikas and serials 1934-45 1/72". I used those blue grey discs which were in use 12 January 1944 onwards.
Black letters for serial number. I choosed "MK" for the code as it fits for "Moskito" as Ta-154 was called in Germany. In Finnish Air Force letters of serials are shortenings from names of the planes: Fokker D.XXI = FR, Curtiss Kittyhawk = KH, Morane 406 = MS, Brewster = BW, Messerschmitt 109 = MT, Mig 21 = MG, Saab Draken = DK, BAE Hawk = HW etc.
Albeit this kit had it cons after all it was fun to build! Smooth looking plane like it´s British namesake!
And her are the pix:
Wings are allmost straight in model. Here´s the picture how it should look:
... and how it´s in model:
Thank You for watching!
