Hasegawa Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-3 1/48
Hi to all, here is another one from me. Before this build, I had fear that I will ruin all of the work if I try to add some weathering effect to the model, so I have decided to push my limits regarding this important process in this hobby. At the end I was pleased with the result. Nothing too much, but I think that I have managed to achieve worn effect of used aircraft.
Painted with Vallejo Acrylics, weathered with oil colors. Used Eduard's PE for cockpit, some scratch build (pitot tube, weapons, break lines...)
Hope you like it!

Hey, Milan, fine job on the kit. It looks awesome, and the weathering is spot-on. I think you've got the weathering thing nailed down. My view is less is generally far superior to more when it comes to weathering.

Best regards

Excellent. The weathering is just right. Looks like you have a lot better luck with Vallejo than I do.

Very nice finish on this one, Milan, just the right amount of weathering, less is definitely more!

You pushed yourself right into a beautiful model. Weathering is just about right, for a well-used warplane.

Very nicely done, Milan. Excellent and naturalistic weathering. I wonder if I could ask about your weathering technique?

In short, after I am done with regular camo color I use small brush and apply color on various spots on plane where you would expect to have teared paint. I usually go with slightly darker or lighter color for chips, depending of the base color. After that i apply oil colors, first, as a filter color and for panel line wash, and after that for the areas where you would expect to have oil and exhaust stains or rust and similar.
I recommend this tutorials for start:

Milan, no issues with your weathering techniques. The aircraft looks the part of a 190 in frontline service. Nicely presented.

If that was your first attempt at weathering, you've done a pretty good job Looks very good!
