efrick Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 This is something of a test run to see if I fully grasp this whole PhotoBucket-To-Post Pics concept: Hase's FW-190D that I completed a couple of years ago. Built straight out of the box. I had initially thought that I had gone a bit heavy on the mottling, but I have since seen a couple of other folk's builds that would seem to lend some creedence to my interpretation of the (scant) available photos of this particular aircraft. Having read in reviews of the kit that the white stripe decals turned a lurid pink when applied over the red underside, I opted to paint the stripes on myself. Forgive the rather unimaginative paint booth background (I took the photo with my phone, thus the quality is less than stellar). http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y451/efrick12/FW-190D_zps119f8d2b.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efrick Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 It appears that I have at least a partial concept of posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_ Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Very nice Dora there, efrick. I like the subtle sheen you've got, especially on the cowl (well that's where it's most visible). What top coat do you have on her? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboxx Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 "Sell my kit iam going to heaven" Love JV44 Ds well done I had an Alfa Dora Electric RC RED 1 and repainted her to look like that, looked magic in the air with the red belly and white stripes had to sell her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efrick Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hi Matt, The top coat is my favorite mix of Tamiya flat mixed with Future. I have found it to be an almost "no fail" technique. My usual mix to achieve this finish is 1 part Tamiya flat to 3 parts Future. Regards, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
