This is my FW190
A-7, which is the first kit I have completed in almost 10 years. I used the
Eduard photo-etched detail set on the cockpit and wheel wells, but otherwise I
have completed it out of the box. I found this kit not to be the best fitting-
especially on the wing/fuselage joint, but was able to fill this with Milliput
modelling clay before sanding it down. I also had problems with getting the
wings to fit under the engine with the Eduard wheel well set- I had to cut away
the bottom half of the engine to do so.

The aerial is sewing
thread painted using black ink. I painted it using Tamiya acrylics in my Aztec
airbrush. The spiral on the spinner was painted freehand as I did not
particularly like the decal- it did not follow the contours of the spinner very
well. The exhaust stains on either side of the front fuselage where created by
spraying a diluted ink wash over the engine covers. I also copied this technique
on the wings and underside of the plane, but almost rubbed it off to leave a
faint streaking. The decals are the set supplied by Hasegawa with the kit.
