Bomber Killer...1/48 Focke-Wulf Fw190A-7, Sturmstaffel 1
Built 5-10 years ago. Took some final pics before the clear flat coat deteriorates more. Hasegawa kit, decals from EagleCals and sparesbox, fuselage and canopy side armour from Tamiya, painted with Gunze and Tamiya acrylics. Seatbelts, brake lines and some landing gear detail added.
Sturmstaffel 1 was active from Oct. 19th 1943 to May 8th 1944 under its CO Major Hans-Günther von Kornatzki. The unit was established to encounter and intercept the enemy 4-Mots. Due to weight reasons the fuselage gund were often removed. After Sturmstaffel 1 was disbandoned it became 11./JG3.
Very nice work as always, Reinhard. @grimreaper
Is that spinner hand painted?
Thanks John! Can´t remember, either that or a decal that looked like handpainted.
Lovely job, Reinhard!
Thanks Spiros!
Maybe you could put a fresh coat of clear on it? My models aren't the finest-looking but they are tough. I overcoat the cr@p outta them. In my case lacquer straight outta the can. Once they're done I want them to stay done. A few are pushing 50.
These armored 190's are just cool, beautiful as always.
Thanks John! Don´t think that would help. Always apply several clear coats in the end, but nothing holds forever.
Very nicely done. I am currently building the Eduard version of the same plane.
Thanks Thomas! Looking forward to yours 😉
A beauty!
