Pride of the Luftwaffe GB

Crown,

Such a wonderful job on the paint scheme. Your build is coming along very nicely. I can't wait until you finish her up.

Lovely paint work crown! Looking forward to the decals going down!

thank you Mark and Dave painted and removed mask still some touch up here and there . sorry just saw Hunters 190 moving along nicely.

Nic work everyone. I hope to get started here soon. 

Dave

I got to this point on my restart...I noticed that I had the same fitting issues as I did on the first kit. I don't know if it is due to the tooling or something else.

I had this same issue on the first kit. I will need to apply putty with a toothpick and then sand it down to look correct.

The pit...simple and straightforward.

I have heard a lot about these Flory things, and model's finished with them look awsome. Do you know of any way to get them in the US?

Mark awesome job on that fw 190 all around. Rooster513 nice camo looking good. Doug great work on that pit. Here is my pics so far and im sorry if i left anyone out .

 

Thanks very much Nick, I appreciate it. Looking forward to seeing the 109 paint job after that masking.

You use the same stuff I do, Aqua Gloss, EZ line and Flory. The AG goes on very well and cures faster than Future. The EZ line is amazing and the same for Flory. I love the effect when your wipe wIth the airflow leaving subtle streaks.

Brandon... you sir are absolutely right! Duh... And I just sat there and put it in! lol...The paint looks off too but I swear its 02. Just the lighting I guess. Thanks for the catch.

Hi Doug

Yes the Pro Modelers are re boxes at a lower prices. Some of the ROG stuff may be re boxes too like the 1/32 FW190D-9 which is the Hasegawa tooled kit.

 

Mark,

Outstanding work on the Dora...Very nice job, and I agree with you on the Tamiya kit's. They are always a nice clean build.

Doug,

Wonderful work on the pit...great looking detail to it.

In for an update here. I was able to make masks for the side fuselage crosses and I'm happy with how they came out. Rest of the markings are a mix of Eduard decals from a past build and a few spares I had around.

Hi Mark, great looking job on that Dora.

Thank you very much Jack, it was a fun build.

Hi Mark, great looking job on that Dora.

Nice start there Doug. I think BD might be right about the stick.

Great job on that 190 areplane. Really nice finish.

Doug - Nice start! The PE work came out great!

Thanks Mark and that 190 came out beautiful! I'll get you added to the front page. Thanks for taking part in the GB and it'd be great to have you back for another!

Well, I'm back from vacation and got a minute to sit down with my 109. Realized I'd left the air filter off and went to spray it, and accidentally got some RLM 63 overspray on the black lines emanating from the exhaust. I guess it's back to paint with some real masking tonight, then hopefully decals if it dries quickly enough.

Afternoon all! Man, what an array of talented builders and kits being built here! So many different camos, various models and versions of these two amazing aircraft... And I believe I can get going now... I'll try to keep up! 

This will be a Dragon, 1/48 scale Fw190 A-8 11/Jg3 "Black 8. I liked the back story of the group and its history. Having served in every theater and having been disbanded and reconstituted several times, this aircraft was circa August/September 1944 defence of the homeland, in perticular used as defence against the relentless allied bombing campaign. 

So, here we go...

Even came with two small PEs. Don't like the decals though... They will be after market.

Cockpit assy with PE IP...

all painted up and ready to go..

And thats where we're at right now... More in a bit! Take care!

Doug

 

Hey Doug - great looking kit and nice paintwork on the cockpit. I'm not sure, but I believe the control stick is in backwards. Doesn't look like it's inaccessible yet, so hopefully if it is in 180 out, it's a quick fix. Just thought I'd point it out in case.

That looks fantastic Andy, cracking job with the masks, i still havent got the courage to do that yet for the crosses, but may have a go now. Well done mate.

Hi everyone,

Managed a sly hour this afternoon to fit the final parts to the Dora, and Im calling it finished and fertig. So apologies this may be a bit of a pic heavy post. This is built and painted to represent the FW190-D9 of the 3rd Highest scoring ace Major Gunther Rall of JG300.This was his final aircraft prior to the unit surrendering to US Forces in May 1945.

I really enjoyed this build, the Tamiya kit is a real joy to put together and has no real vices.

I would like to thank everyone for their kind comments over this build and the hints and tips!

Next on the workbench will be the 1/72 Eduard Spitfire Mk XVI for the RAF 100th Birthday GB. This GB has been great, with some fantastic builds and has definitely got me inspired to do more 109's and 190's! 

Thanks for looking everyone and heres to the next one! 

Another great looking build there Andy, i do like those lightning flashes on the nose.

In for an update here. I was able to make masks for the side fuselage crosses and I'm happy with how they came out. Rest of the markings are a mix of Eduard decals from a past build and a few spares I had around.

Sounds good Hunter, looking forward to the new start!

Mark that 190 looks REALLY good! Nice work all around!

Mark, looking really nice there. How do you find useing Flory wash on the Alclad.

 

 

 

 

Hi Bish, thanks for the kind comment, ive never had any problems with the Flory wash over AG, thats with both the metal finishes and the MilSpec paints.

 

Interesting. I have not had issues with Flory on their NMF paints, just there clear coats.
