Stuart's Butchered Bird - Tamiya 1/72 FW-190A-3

[stuart]

Just a place holder for me until my kit arrives - I'll be building Tamiya's 1/48 FW-190A-3 kit. It's been ages since I built a Tamiya 1/48 single engined fighter kit so it should be fun. Just for something different, I'll be doing it in these markings - decals on order from Hannants.

Cheers!

Thanks Joe!

I hope I do you all justice lol! HOpefully it should be a little different. I do know knowt about German Aircraft though, so I'm probaly going to need some advice about colours etc.

[stuart]

Thanks Gents - glad you like the idea.

As soon as I get my kit etc. I'll start posting up some pics!

Sweet! Great to have you in the GB Stuart! Bookmarked this!

[stuart]

Oh Crapola!!! Change of plan, it would appear that I've ordered the wrong kit - I've actually got Tamiya's 1/72 FW-190A-3 rather than the 1/48 kit - which means my decals wont fit. It shouldn't matter, as if there's one thing I have in decal stash its spare RAF decals.

I don't mind anyway, I;ve never built a Tamiya 1/72 WWII kit, so it'll be interesting.

Here's the kit - sprue shots and wotnot to follow.

Cheers Dudes!

I guess this just means that you'll have to order a 1/48 FW-190 as well...

[lyle]

You can always just buy another in 1/48…..

I know - damn shame that :-D

[stikpusher]

Oh no! Stuart has to order another Tamiya kit! Such hardship!

Oops You have shrunk your Fw190! It should be fun to follow it.

Yeah sorry for the late start Gents - I have to admit that the old Mojo's been all over the place over the last few months and I can't seem to stick to a build - I have about 6 WIPs on the bench at the momment!

Now that I've started a little bf109G though my interest in Luftwaffe subjects is back on the rise (I picked up a bf110 over the weekend) and I suspect this'll hit the bench soon.

Cheers!
