Hi Fellows, the FW190 is done, this is the DML FW190 G3, I didn't put any bombs or fuel tank on it, because I like the clean look of WW II fighters. I's basicly OOB, I used Lion Roar Luftwaffe Seat belt, fishing line for the antenna, and needle for the gun tube (which my good friend Warlock sent to me). It
s a quick 4 day project to give me a break from all the hard core modellings.

This is for Lord Folgore, and Lord Faust.

Very nice build. Your skill at building and finishing is wonderful.

One question - the antena - is there a retractor for it? What happens when the canopy is closed?

Love the paint job.

Another beautiful bird, Dave. Looks a little shiny, though. Like it has a thin coating of grease or oil (or blood?) on it. Maybe it's just the pics.

Dave---what can I say?

F-abulous Bird
W-onderful paint/decal application
1-as in you are a #1 modeler
9-models a month (that's about how fast you turn them out)
0-criticisms

Looks good---my only nitpick is you should be building more U.S. stuff

Wow Dave, that is a nice model, especially for 4 days. It is nicely weathered and seemingly accurate. I hate unweathered stuff so I do commend you on this model.

Great Butcher bird Dave! One of my favorite fighters from WW2. Excellent camo, and weathering. I like the ME109 next to it as well. (++)

Did you have to do much filling of seams?
What were the paint color #'s you used?
Who were the paints by?
Are those the kit decals?
Did you use any kind of mask for the camo pattern?
Was there much flash to contend with?
What is # 22?
Will it be hung from a wire,or boxed?
Did you flatten the tires for a more realistic look?
How did you mask off the canopy?
Which brand of cement did you use?
Have the fumes gotten to you like they have to me?

Hi Jeep, thanks for the comment. The PE seat belt is from Lion Roar, it has enough seat belt for 3 to 4 1/48 Luftwaffe planes, and only 3 bucks a set. very good deal.

Do you have Tamiya-equivalent colors for the interior and the exterior? I have a 1/72 Butcher Bird I want to finish but I don't know the right colors for it. Thanks!
