Lt. Gustav Salffner's FW 190A8 "Weiss 6", of 7./JG300
JG26 replied to JG26's topic in Non-LSM 'WIP' and Completed
Hey Bevan, glad you like her, the green is Gunze's RLM 83 mixed with a touch of RLM 82 here & there, then weathered with Mig oil's "Olive Green" mixed with a bit of white. I try to make every panel a little different. Very handy colour to have in the stash.... Regards, Dan M -

Hi Torben, Very easy indeed, they're just formed from blobs of white canopy glue - you can manipulate the blobs while its drying to get a "bracket/P clip" shape. Add some paint, and presto. Jeroen: Feel free to steal away! I thought it may have been a "bit over the top" myself........ Glad you like! Dan M -
Hi All, 1st time posting a kit on here....... Here's my take on Salffner's FW190A8 he flew as CO of 7./JG300 in Germany, 1945. It's Eduard's 190A8 boxing pretty much OOTB with the exception of the homemade loop & radio aerials & Pitot tube. The Würger is finished in a late war RLM83 Mottle scheme over the fuselage RLM 76. The wing surfaces depict a RLM75/83 scheme. Tamiya & Gunze acrylics were used, with oils & a touch of pigments for weathering. The RLM83 is a little greener in these pics than in the flesh, with a light mottle of RLM 82 here & there. The decals used are as supplied by Eduard. One source states that the odd black drop tank was left over from JG300's "Wilde Saü" operations. As I hadn't really tackled a 190' before, many thanks to Jamie Degenhardt & Ralph Riese for the technical advice & the lend of some decent reference material! Thanks for looking, All comments welcome! Dan M

JG26 replied to BevanBrooks's topic in 1940 Group Build
Good stuff, yes I have seen the pics with the odd hatch, makes you wonder what sort of a evening the "men in black" had the night before....too much duty free schnapps perhaps..... -
Love the White cowl 109's. Another good choice. Gaining ground for a complete Staffel here........almost Regards Dan M

JG26 replied to BevanBrooks's topic in 1940 Group Build
Hi Bevan, That's a goody, great choice. it's got some great weathering potential. The cross on the misplaced side access hatch certainly is odd...Are you going to replicate it? Or "take the hatch off & straighten it up" for the pilot.... Dan M -

Righto, will do. I've built a couple of their 1:48 109's (E1&7) & am currently doing a 190A8. I'm hoping it should build up similar. Definitely not wise to stray from the instructions... Dan M -

Good stuff Rusty, stick to the game plan! Dan M -
Cool, looking forward to seeing some bare metal on this one. Banzai!

Great Komet, the weathering is nice & restrained (as it would be for an extremely short-lived aircraft). Love the Splinter pattern too.
-
Really coming together Bevan, lots of good contrast happening there. Looking forward to the finish! Dan M

Nice work Bevan, You're picking some good subjects to build up. Hope this makes it to Expo next year. Dan M

2 in a row. Many worthwhile hours spent, both winners in my book..... Looking forward to the next "hit"! Definitely deserve a Boags or two (or 10) Dan

Excellent, looking forward to seeing this one in the flesh, the Pitot "RBF" pennant is a nice touch of colour too-good idea! Dan M
