hello,
Tamiya 190 F-8 with a bit of photo etch and DML’s big bomb underneath.
In colours of III / SG 10, stationed in Dolni Kamenice (now Czech Republic) in '45.
I used Cutting Edge decals 48165.
Thoughts?
again wow all your planes look great

Very nice build. Good work on the camo. Thanks for sharing.
Regards, Rick
Looks good great job
Nice work, keep up the great work.
Very nice FW. The detail and paint are superb.

What a beauty! And great late-war camo too. I’m not a big Luftwaffe builder any more, but more modelers need to learn that little fact that on FW’s in particular and German planes in particular, the splinter was hard-edged in the beginning and by the end of the war looked like what’s shown on this great model. One question: what color is the wheel well interior?
How did you arrive at it? God, how I miss my old “Monogram Guide to Painting Luftwaffe Aircraft.” Cost 60 bucks in the 80s, and worth it. Monogram publishing, for some reason, never reprinted this great ring-bound reference, with paint chips on every single page, it seemed, and schemes for every sub-variant of virtually everything the Luftwaffe flew.

Great job on your 190.
thank you jay12472 rjkplasticmod mkhoot charlotte crockett tigerman.
sharkskin,
that sounds an interesting book you describe.
the colour i used was polly scales RLM 04, which from memory is what Tamiya’s instructions laid out; i know that by this time most cockpits were RLM 66 Dark Grey, but i thought the wheel wells and other interior bits were/could be 04.
may be it just looks a bit funny on the pics?
putting on the spiralschnuaze decal thingy was an exercise in patience i can tell you![:)]
This Is my favorite 190 and your build looks great. I have to agree with you on the spiral on the nose cone those can be tricky.

thanks - i have found that like most of the hobby itself, puting these nose decals on is an exercise in faith and patience, because there’s no doubt that when you first put them on along with tons of micro sol, they look like they’re just never going settle nicely; the patience bit comes in resisting the temptation to poke and prode before the thing is robust enough to handle anything post-micro sol.

Nicholas
Great build. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic work, once again, Nicholas.
Regards, Dan
