revell 1/32 Fw 190-F8

I started with the engine on this thing. It is all about 9 parts and done. It has good fit and I think it looks nice.







For the shading of the cylinders I shot it with Vallejo silver and did a sludge wash of Dark gray pigment mixed with micro set as a carrier. It flowed in the nooks real well.

Off to a good start Paul!

I may have to leave all the panels open if I can get away with it. Not really a bad kit.

Got some color on it today (yaaay). All together it isn't a bad kit but it does have a couple of issues with fit on the cowl being that it has so many parts to it I really didn't expect it to fit like a Tamigawa
kit. It is, though, meant to be displayed with the cowl panels open. I would build another one being fair warned about some of the small issues. Come to think of it I should have done a build review on it since I am not aware of any for this kit.

I know that this is an F-8 but I am choosing to build it as an A-8 from Jg 301 though I don't have the colors correct either but I do with as I have.

Have a look see.











I am looking forward to getting it all weathered up.
