Finished Hasegawa 1/32 Fw190-A8

[Vaughan]

Hi All

Well after nearly 4 months I have finally finished the Butcher Bird. No real issues with this one even the 4 piece cowling went together well. I used the HGW belts for the first and was very pleased with the results. I have added undercart down indicators made from fine wire rod, the end of the Morane mast was made of fishing line as the original was too thick, the ariel wire was stretch spru as I have run out of lycra knicker elastic. All comments welcome.

Very Nice indeed. The dirt in the wheel wells is nice, especially the dry brushing.

I need to experiment and learn how to do convincing chipping. I know there are several ways and what you did is very convincing. What method did you use please?.

Thought you could not get better Vaughan but you have ! A great finish nice & crisp. Like the spinner very precise tied one of these myself & it is not easy. The blue near the tail which has a nice crisp edge.

Also like the weathering especially around the undercart enclosures. Very nice model. You are making it even more difficult for me to catch up.

Thanks Guys for all your compliments, Steve in answer to your question I use Florys dark dirt plus some dry brushing with Humbrol aluminium.
