COMPLETED Eduard 1/48 Focke Wulf Fw 190D-9 JG 301 Yellow 15 Wilde Sau

[Airfix Modeller Freak]

I have just finished the Eduard 1/48 Focke Wulf Fw 190D-9 Profipack.


A special thanks goes out to Steve (stona) who has helped me concerning the JG 301 schemes and historical accuracy. I would also like to thank all SMF members who commented and followed on this build.


THE AERIAL WIRE WILL GO ON NEXT YEAR TO COMPETE AT THE AUSTRALIAN MODEL EXPO.


A finicky kit, but the finished result is superb and very much worth it. The spiral spinner decal was a bit of a mess to put on, but in the end it bedded down well with some micro sol and set. Underwing staining was done with Mig's Panel washes and provided a realistic effect.


The build thread is here: 





I would like to dedicate this build to all of the JG 301 Wilde Sau pilots of WW2.

Top job!


They are not the easiest kits to put together, though you wouldn't know looking at this one. First class finish too.


Cheers
