Captured 1:48 Tamiya Focke Wulf Fw190 A-3

[Jeankes]

Hi guys,
so I got up early to spray a first coat of yellow and an hour ago I did the second one
The masking tape is gone and after it's fully dried, I can a new layer and add the red coat (probably this evening).
So If all goes well, I'll be able to wet sand it tomorrow and add a first layer of varnish as a preparation for the decals

[Jeankes]

Red -> check
Just some touche-ups left and then all color will be on

Yellow is usually a very tricky color to bring out but you’ve worked wonders with this Jan.
This is such a cool subject and I don’t remember ever seeing this one before. I’ve always seen the orange captured plane.

Indeed, yellow is one of the colours I hate doing

In total there are 9 layers to get to that stage of yellow...

Primer 1 -> pre-shading 1 -> green -> yellow 1 -> primer 2 -> pre-shading 2 -> yellow 2 -> primer 3 -> yellow 3

So it kept me busy

 LOL!!! Sounds like it did indeed!!

Prop and landing gear -> check

Now just a coat of varnish before bed

[keavdog]

Wow - sure got to it today! Great progress and a unique looking airplane. Great job on the paint.

[TJ]

That yellow is blinding....I like it

[handiabled]

You sure made quick work of that paint scheme! Turned out great!

[Jeankes]

Decals -> check
Now another coat of varnish and then the weathering process can start

[TJ]

Wow, you don't mess around. Done very quickly and it looks great

[dean48ws]

What a great thread and a killer idea with the paint scheme, love it!

[Jeankes]

Ok guys,
I'm calling this one done
I went for the "dusty, ragged and parked on the side of the runway" -look

[TJ]

Those darn Americans, never know how to take care of a beautiful thing

[handiabled]

Cool scheme you put on this with the neglected looking weathering to boot!

[kyledehart5]

Oh wow!! Really quick and excellent work. Very cool. Love the paint scheme too

Dude..... I think you've set a record for building not only an interesting subject but also one that looks like it got driven past by many a deuce and a half on a muddy road. A great turn out in every aspect Jan!!

I'll have this one in the Group Build Gallery pretty quick man.
