FW-190A8 'Butcher Birds'



I had four of these 1/285th scale Museum Miniatures FW-190A8's in the 'to do' box, so decided to finish them off this afternoon, adding some black lining and decals to match them to the four that I already have. They are lovely models, very crisp and well sculpted, so a joy to paint even of they are a bit tiddly. I now have eight FW-190A8's, four FW-190D9's, four Bf-109K's and two Me262's, so more than enough for a late war Luftwaffe show of force. Horrido!

    Me too. Very deadly in a dogfight, especially the Dora.

    Great work. What do you black line with? Paint ink or a pen?

    Cheers,

    Pete.

    Thanks Pete,

    I use either a brush with diluted black paint or fine liner pen, depending on the surface. I muck it up a bit, as you can see on Yellow 4's canopy, but it's not too difficult to put right.

      Thanks Jim. Will try a pen with my TD 1/600ths.

      Cheers,

      Pete.
