It is the Luftwaffe fighter Foche-Wulf. I built it from February to March 2008.

FOCKE-WULF FW190A-3 HASEGAWA 1/48 BOX PACKAGESince I’m continually making several tanks, I decided to change my feelings to make this fighter.

FOCKE-WULF FW190A-3 HASEGAWA 1/48 MAKINGI’ll strike the rivets on the all body to refer to an airplane model magazine. I worked to make sure after I had drawn the line at the part to be stricken. It is considerably patient work.

FOCKE-WULF FW190A-3 HASEGAWA 1/48 MAKINGIt did not go well when I used the epoxy putty for a woody part to bury the space. Adhesion to plastic was terrible. Next time, I will use the usual epoxy putty even if time hangs.

FOCKE-WULF FW190A-3 HASEGAWA 1/48 MAKINGI use a string weight of 0.3mm for the brake pipe additional work.

FOCKE-WULF FW190A-3 HASEGAWA 1/48 MAKING PILOTI’ll make one pilot on the wing. I used 1/48 military miniature series of Tamiya. Since this pilot wears a leather jacket, I sliced down the body a little. 1/48 is too small to work!

FOCKE-WULF FW190A-3 HASEGAWA 1/48 MAKING PILOTI made the figure a photo. I dressed him in the jacket with the epoxy putty and attached the 1st Iron Cross on his neck.

FOCKE-WULF FW190A-3 HASEGAWA 1/48 PAINTINGWhen I start camouflage painting, this airplane has gradually become like Fochewolf. It is a sober impression, though there seem to be various colors of gray.

FOCKE-WULF FW190A-3 HASEGAWA 1/48 PAINTINGSince it was a complete matt painting, I splayed the clear and made the decals stick easily after the procedure.

The total shooting down score was 108 though captain Hahn became a captive in February 1943.

FOCKE-WULF FW190A-3 HASEGAWA 1/48 FINISHED PHOTOI did the rivet strike for detail up. It was heavy work. I should have sanded it with a 1500 paper sheet to smooth these rivets.

FOCKE-WULF FW190A-3 HASEGAWA 1/48 FINISHED PHOTOBasic construction is not good, but I suppose the riveting experience is good for the next step. This figure only waves his hand to a friend far away, not do a Nazi salute.
