Longtail Dora
« on: July 12, 2011, 05:15:02 PM »
Greetings all,

here is my fresh start, German fighter aircraft Fw190D. This sample is special in having adopted Ta 152 style vertical surfaces so it have really unique look. Not much machines is known to have this feature. Kit I use is Eduard release from few months ago.

First step was making assembly sections of cockpit elements and engine compartment. They are all painted in Vallejo black primer (my first wide use of this product).

I have the Italeri(Dragon) 1:48 ones, but I got a D-12 tail and some engine details in resin from the USA. I'm looking forward to seeing how the kit goes together, the late 190D versions have some fascinating colour schemes. Good luck with the kit!

I imagine that the engineering of the kit is such that you must follow the instructions exactly, like the Accurate Minatures kits?
