Fw 190F-8 progress
The Cockpit is finished with PE from Eduard. I chose to paint the instrument panel rather than to use the PE as I thought the detail was so nice. In hind sight I should have painted the side panels also as I'm a bit disappointed by the detail in the Eduard PE.
Allt he small parts are assembled painted and weathered. THe only modifications made was to be able to change out the load out of the armament.
Fuselage halves, cockpit and wings fused together and the wind screen.
The canopy is glued with PVA-glue.
Also here I have used Montex-masks.
Here you can see the Montex mask lifting after spraying the first layer of color for the inside of the cockpit.
After a black base and marbling. I used Tamiya XF-1 and XF-2 for this.
Top and bottom color applied.
It is very uniform in it's color on this picture, but that is because of the limited dynamic range of the camera and the sharp lights.
Some more masking and painting to be done.
Result after the green camoflage paint is applied. I chose to go for Tamiya's XF-58 for this, instead of using the Hataka paints, as I feel I have more control of the airbrush flow with the trusty old Tamiya paint.
Decals and a protective gloss layer have been applied. Next is weathering 🙂.
According to the build description the crosses are supposed to be partially painted over by the camoflage, so I masked them off and added some paint streaks over them.
I'm pretty happy with the result. It will look better with a matt coat over it.
I did the same with the crosses on the fuselage, but only feathering this time.
It is finished! 🙂
I did some adjustments to the bombs and the extra tank, so I can change them out on the plane.
Compared to the Eduard Fw 190A-5 that I built a few years ago.

I have also worked on the F8 this week. Assembly of fuselage/wings and pre-shading in the form of black base and marbling.

Another update for the F8. I've completed the base camoflage, so next step is to apply a gloss coat and decals.

Thank you Spanjaard! I really like these mediterranian and north african paint schemes. 🙂

Thanks Daniel!
Another update. The decals are on and a protective clear layer before the weathering begins.

The Fw 190F-8 is finished!
But the project is only at its beginning. Next is the bomb loading crew. 🙂

Thank you mates! 🙂
I was surprised how well the camoflage pattern turned out! Now I'm thinking of building a Stuka in the same camoflage. I still haven't built a G variant, so I wonder if they used them in northern Italy?..
