Nice progress, as far as I can see here. It seems, not only me is affected by the photobucket problem . I will try another photo host, here are some pictures of my typhoon with a small dio.

Hopefully, this photo host works!







Oliver

Oliver,

Nope, apparently not.

Michael

Michael, that's correct.

Very sad! Gotta fix this!

Next try:






What about this?

Oliver

Oliver, nice looking Tiffy. What photo site are you using? Looks like I need to do the same.

Bob

Lets see if this will work from a new site.

That is a fine dio, Oliver, very nice work!

Bob- the link is good...

... same to me
All posts-pics are gone...

If I find a trusty host I´ll load up some again and maybe give my Fw190 a own "finished-Thread"

Very nicely done, Oliver! As said - I like it much.

Thomas

Excellent Oliver!!!
Which type of grass did you use?

And another test site, hopefully it is an image not link.

I tried flikr which posted a link to the photo and postimage which posted an image.

Bob:
looks like "PostImage" works - I recently tried a post for "2nd Gen" some minutes ago. But cannot create sub folders
Thomas

Thomas I'm new at postimage so I know nothing yet only that they give you the choice of image size. I did see folder options, but have not tried them yet.

Bob

Ive painted the sky fuse band and have taped for the yellow wing markings. Lets see if I know how to posts both photos from postimage.

IC2....

OK! they are there and all I need to do is figure out how to size them to be larger next time.

Bob

How to ...

Thomas, your a gem. Thanks for the help.




Bob

My pleasure, You're welcome!

I had to use the second from the bottom link that states hotlink to forums.

Bob

OK, I call it done!
Finished it some days ago and made a quick display.

It looks like a Fw190 to me despite all the issues I mentioned before (text remained; no more pics to see - thanks PB). I will do a short single thread with a summary of the build and re-uploaded pics.

Revell's 1/48 Fw190 (reboxed Dragon/Trimaster)is maybe not the best and sometimes tricky but after all I like it. Details and engraved panel lines are nice and still suitable.

The color guideline is wrong and must be noticed as well as a careful fitting especially around the cowling/fuselage/lower wing - connections. The landing gear needs special attention while fixing as there are no reference points for the correct angles. Otherwise it stands tip-toe.

So what came out is a Fw190 A-8(G-8) R8 what means it's in fact a modified A-8 with ETC's for a bomb and additional fuel tanks. Normally the outer wing guns and cowling MG's were removed because of the weight but all variants were possible.
For a G-8 you need at least a correct and armoured bubble canopy. I decided to use only one fuel tank and left the cowling guns. Because I wanted a different camo sheme the unit's number was changed.
Wing guns and pitot tube were replaced with hypodermic needles and brake lines/seatbelts/aerial/struts inside canopy were added.
Colours: mainly acrylics Humbrol, few enamels for details, water based washes, pigments, final coats Vallejo matte and semigloss, oleos metal foil.

Michael
