Revell FW-190F-8 completed

[JohnB]

Saved from the sod. I've wanted to model this particular a/c for quite a while so now was a good opportunity to get it done. Painted with Testor's MM, Colourcoats and Tamiya. Decals are from my stash. I hope you like it!!! 😃

I'm a bit surprised no one has had any comments to make on this build. 🙃 I really like the way it turned out and figured you guys would also.

Nice one!👍 Is this 1/32 scale?

[JohnB]

Yes, Revell 1/32.  Thanks!

Definitely a nice build, John and you have the historical photo as well which I always like, too.   Why did you choose this particular AC?

Thanks Chris. I'm glad you like it!  I have wanted to do this a/c for a while and decided now was a good time. I like those late/end of war camouflage schemes as lots of those a/c didn't conform to the "normal" schemes. With that in mind finding some nice unusual (not cookie cutter) schemes appeals to me. 🙂

Just catching up and so glad you went back to work on the Revell 190. Meticulous work and as always, a perfect finish. So very well done. 🏆

Ahh I agree.  There is something to be said for individuality on the camo scheme.  The Spitfire and F-4 Phantom II camo patterns are nice, but I like the splotches on the ME-262 and Bf-109s.

Yes indeed Chris. 🙂

Hi John,

Your paint finish is top notch. I really like the A and F series of Wurgers and you have done a very nice job of doing an understated and convincing camouflage finish.

Kind regards,

Paul
