Told you she was a slow build lol. Waiting on some Tamiya curvey tape atm so i can finish the spinner. I have sprayed the black spiral twice and have twice removed the paint totally after not being happy with the result, 5 minutes worth of oven cleaner works amazingly to get it back to bare.

Hopefully i'll have the tape from Melbourne turn up this week so i can knock it up.

Some great work as usual Ajay.

In the photo, the '5' looks smaller than on the model.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

It surely is smile

Another small update, prop is nearly done. A much nicer line with the more elastic tape.

I touched up with a very thin slice of tape from the above to get a nicer curve around the center of the hub and cannon port. Glossed prior to slight weathering.

Weathered and flatted out, i'll give it a last coat of satin to bring back a slight sheen before it is finished.

Undercolour for the canopy pieces, rlm66.

Sitting her out in the sun for a few hours so the clear can harden. All decalling is now done and weathering to do over the next little while.

Some mild weathering so far. A very light wash to pick out rivets, lines and detail basically.

Exhaust staining and non glue placed the glass on to get a an idea of what she will look like with a canopy. Cowl MGs drilled and glued in.

Spiral prop hubs are way beyond my patience level, excellent job, as usual Ajay.

All of your paint work is amazing.

Slow down a bit and this can still be a "New Year 109" smile

Indeed it can be Sunchaser lol! I just secured a nice new work bench, our big wooden conference table from work so finally have enough area to have everything everywhere and still have working room. Waiting on a new air compressor that should turn up next week also, my hseng one has been dicky the last few weeks so found a (hopefully) slightly better one for only 20 bucks more than the hseng.

Shots are all done. We went down to a local football field with my sons new S22 Ultra and set it up on a tripod for some shots. I just need to crop and resize them down from 8k and post them up.

Ok, phew, man this stuff takes some time smile Some good shots and many average. The camera on the S22 is really good, i just need to learn how to use it.


I did some in front of my daughters old minecraft pc in the model shed and a bunch outside. Windy and near rainy gloomy weather may have affected how some shots are clear and some are a bit grainy, more than likely my lack of phone camera skills though. Inside shots first up, under the trusty old lamps.

Outside at the local footy field. Had a moment here where the wind nearly flew the whole deal off the log and into the ground. At least my catching reflexes are still there.

Fabulous work.

If you run out of room, I have some space.

Thanks Grog, and honestly..if i could safely freight some of my 1/48 stuff away i would. I don't want any more than 4 cabinets and i intend to only do 1/32 stuff with the odd 1/48 bigger stuff like some random more modern jets or ships from now on.
