1/48 Tamiya Fw-190 D9

Here is my Tamiya Fw-190 D9 in 1:48 scale. This is my first 1:48 scale kit and was built generally out of the box. The only exceptions being the addition of some minor scratch built cockpit items, Eduard seat harness and Cannon barrels made from plastic coated wire with the wire recessed.

It was also my first attempt at pre-shading a model, all paints used were Testors Model Master Enamels and I am quite pleased with the results gained. Markings are from the kit and represent a aircraft from Stab JG4.

Weathering consists of  washes of lamp black & raw umber artists oils over an acrylic gloss coat. The exhaust stains are airbrushed enamels and other staining was done using pastel chalks. Paint chips were applied using 2 differing coloured silver pencils and a 6B lead pencil.
