Eduard Focke Wulf Fw 190A-6 1:48
Hello iModelers, a modelling year feels different. Here is my second finished kit for 2016!
As said not much modelling, real live made following forums and modelling nearly impossible, anyway.
Its the PropfiPack kit from the really nice but somewhat infamous Eduard 190. Its needs much more work compared with products from Tamiya and Hasegawa but will end looking good, beside its flaws.
The markings are from the kit, for Georg Schotts white 11, from the 1./ JG 1, Holland 1943.
The bright cowlings of this unit are a nice touch and the used declas performed very well.
Paints are Model Master, wheathering, exhaust staining is the Lifecoler shade “smoke”.
The wing guns are canules from plastic glue bottles, cut to fit.
Hope you like this effort, thanks for looking.

Hello, Bernd, may I be the first to congratulate you on a great looking 190, very impressive.
Bernd Müller said on October 8, 2016
Thank you George, a complete “new” feeling to have something done.
By the way the first photo session send me back to the bench…
Tom Bebout said on October 8, 2016
Nice job Bernd, really like the weathering.you did on her. There’s still time left in 2016 to squeeze in another model.
Bernd Müller said on October 8, 2016
Thank you very much Tom, yes there is something more on the bench.

Morne Meyer said on October 8, 2016
Hi mein Freund. This is ONE AMAZING looking Fw 190. One of those WW II aircraft that looks aggressive whilst on the ground. Excellent finish and detailing. Well done. Master class as usual !!!
Bernd Müller said on October 8, 2016
Vielen Dank mein Freund and yes the 190 had everything, a good and aggresive look and a good punch.

Bernd, Great looking FW, the checkered nose really looks good. Congratulations in taming the multipart cowling and the wing root gun access panels. Really looks the part.
Bernd Müller said on October 8, 2016
Thanks for the compliment, Bernard. Eduards 190 needs indeed much attention but the most surprising in this build were the decals, the chequers went on without problems, only after the application of a setting solution ( stupid idea to improve something that went well ) there was some wrinkle.
Robert Royes said on October 8, 2016
Awesome job!. love the cowl work.
Bernd Müller said on October 9, 2016
Thanks Robert i was surprised that the decals worked so well
Terry Schuler said on October 8, 2016
Looks great, Bernd ! A good looking model, nice build, and an attractive scheme. I like the B&W checker scheme. I know this is not an easy kit, it looks like done a wonderful build with it. I like it a lot !
Bernd Müller said on October 9, 2016
Hi Terry and thank you, guess the coloful JG 1 birds were the most colorful birds of the whole bunch
Rob Anderson said on October 8, 2016
Very nice and one of my favorite markings for the FW.
Bernd Müller said on October 9, 2016
Thanks Rob

Mr Know-all strikes again!

Things seldom changes
Nick Newell said on October 9, 2016
That’s one great model Bernd! Doing the mottling/shading on German WW2 a/c is no easy task and you’ve nailed it. Most impressive. More of the same please!!
Bernd Müller said on October 9, 2016
Thanks for stopping and leaving this kind comment, Nick. Appreciated !
Bernd Müller said on October 9, 2016
Before giving advises to the “poor ones” you should improve your own modelling or photographing as well. The modelling scene is full of really brilliant examples of modelling and presentation were we can learn from !
Tony Prince said on October 10, 2016
Hi Bernd. Really like your ‘190. Camouflage looks great. You’ve given me inspiration to finish a ‘190 a friend started.
Well done again!
Bernd Müller said on October 10, 2016
Thank you for the warm words, Tony. Can t wait to see the roll out of yours.
Dean Wynford said on October 10, 2016
Wow, that’s a really well done FW190. I like it … A LOT!
Hope mine comes out that good, when I get around to building it that is 🙂
At least you’ve done 2 so far Bernd, I’ve only completed 1 🙁
Bernd Müller said on October 10, 2016
Thanks for the reply, Dean. Can t wait to see yours, maybe building that one, before another, better comes out.
Made some paint work on the next one, this weekend but still much to do on that one.
Craig Abrahamson said on October 10, 2016
Hey, Bernd….good to see you back posting (and a fine example to kick things off as well).
Bernd Müller said on October 10, 2016
Hi Craig, just dusted the bench and re started the production line.
Greg Kittinger said on October 10, 2016
Everyone else has stolen my thunder – so… what they all said! She’s a beauty! Love the cowling coloring.
Bernd Müller said on October 10, 2016
Thank you Greg, the decal on the cowlings were a dream, todays decal work with a set of Eagle Strike decal for a similar colored P-51D went bad so its still a hit and miss thing 🙂
Richard Mcstay said on October 10, 2016
Your back!! Nice build as well mate! Thanks for the comments on my builds also. I haven’t had time to reply individually as I’m in the middle of moving house, but I will eventually!
Bernd Müller said on October 10, 2016
Hi Richard, that sounds very busy so keep an eye on your pets 🙂
Bernd Müller said on October 10, 2016
Thanks again for all viewing and commenting
Kent Strickland said on October 11, 2016
Very, very nice Bernd,
A great result, the cowling is particularly eye catching.
Regards,
Bernd Müller said on October 11, 2016
Thank you Kent, its indeed an eye catcher, guess i will do a P-47 or a Pony in a similar look in the future
Anthony Conway said on October 25, 2016
Cracking FW 190 Bernd. Don’t know how I missed it before as I have one that I hope to do. If it looks half as good as yours I will be pleased. Top build.
Bernd Müller said on October 31, 2016
Hello Anthony, thank you very much. As for your coming project, just line everything ( underwing sub assembly,with the wheel bay, firewall and the hatches for the wing root guns) careful up, if you got this, you can simply “clic” the rest of the kit together. In the end you will be rewarded with a great looking 190 for your collection. Happy modelling, mate 🙂
