FW 190 A-1 (Pegasus Hobbies 1:48)

[JMac]

Hey guys,

Building this to practice some free hand camouflage with my airbrush. No PE, no resin AM, no concerns as to a really accurate interior.

I started on Friday, by Saturday evening I had he cockpits done, and this morning I started putting the fuselage together.

In addition to this FW 190, I'm building a Pegasus BF 109.

Oooh ...That was quick 

Nice work again Jason ,Two of my favs on the go    gotta love the 190 .

Keep it up

After a little delay for painting the landing gear bays, I assembled the wings. Not as nice a fit as the BF 109, more filler will be required. Engine and cowling interior are both roughly painted also.

Looks good Jason

Thanks Chris. The fit on this one is not as good as Pegasus's 109 kit. The snap fits seem to be excessive, have  on my kit have caused some sizeable steps, they are so tight it's difficult to test fit anything. Because of they I'm still shimming areas with styrene and filling with putty. Hoping to paint the primer coat this weekend maybe, we will see.

Thanks Chris & and!e, I like the look of the Fw-190's also.

Kind of wish I had this one closer to paint, but no need to rush it. I'm still working on the seams however and the Bf 109 is getting close to finished.

Quick update - I primed the model today, and well, found more spots to fill in...

Pictures soon, I'm trying a different approach to the priming and painting with this one than the BF 109 - just to see if it's a better way for me to paint these German birds.

The build is coming along nicely, JMac! The dreaded "Butcher Bird" is one of
my favorite warplanes of WW2. Can't wait to see the next installment......

[JMac]

Thanks Panzerman. After a couple rounds of prime and sand - I said ENOUGH! I don't want to get to hung up with trying to make this a "perfect" build - just get on with the painting. Here's how the FW 190 looks primed. I primed it with the Vallejo Acrylic-polyurethane Black and the Acrylic-polyurethane white.

Thanks for looking and comments are always welcome.
