1/72 Smer Focke Wulf Fw-190 F8

--------------------

 

This is one of my first aircraft models. It shows a Fw-190 that fought over Anzio (Italy). I built it straight from the box some years ago. The kit is rather simple to build as it does not have too many parts and some of them are simplified.  Perhaps you cannot build a state-of-the-art model with this kit, however it is good (and cheap) if you want to get started in the hobby. I used Humbrol enamels to paint it and pastels for weathering. It was also the first time I used my airbrush.

The best thing of the model were the decals which reacted quite well to setting solution. They were also finely printed.
