1/72 Focke Wulf 190

[Ceaser_Sa1ad]

Hey all, this is my first aircraft in 2 years.
I do not remember Revell of Germany having this bad of a fitting issue.. I started this 2 days ago and have only finished the cockpit now. I forgot what a pain 1/72 cockpits are with little molded in detail.

I painted it in Blue Grey which is FARRR too blue for my liking, but its the darkest grey I have on hand. The decals are nice enough, but I think I got one of them backwards.





Sorry I can't show you more of the pit. I can't get any light in there to picture.
Anyhow, more to come

Looks pretty good to me. Especially when you take the small scale into consideration.

A very thin wash of Flat Black might tone down some of the blue in that Blue Gray if it’s not too late. Now I am curious as to which blue gray that you used? In your photos, the color looks close enough to RLM 66.

[Ceaser_Sa1ad]

Thank you.
I used Vallejo 71.005. I can try to do the black wash, but I might just ruin the paint...

[Stikpusher]

In that case, if you’re worried about ruining the paint with a wash, I’d leave it be and look for a different color for next time.

[Ceaser_Sa1ad]

I tried the wash. It really didn't do much of anything. The paint is intact, but is still just as blue. Got any recommendations for the correct colour?

Vallejo Gray Green 70.866 is supposed be matched to RLM 66 according to their website.

I wouldn't get too hung up about the cockpit, especially in 1/72 - so little of it can be seen with the canopy on anyway it's pretty much immaterial. As long as it's close enough, that's all that counts. On a couple of my 1/72 Spitfire I ditched the whole cockpit bar the IP and seat and nobody noticed - in fact, unless you stick a pen light in it you can't see anyway.

Great progress thus - which boxing is this?

[Ceaser_Sa1ad]

This is the 2018 rebox.



It has some extra parts for a bomb... with wings (sorry I don't know the name) but no instructions for that bit. I figured it out pretty easily, but now I need the correct paint guide for this version of the plane.
The thing on the bottom

That's their guided bomb. I'd say RLM 66 but could be wrong. Not so much of a Luft guy.

[Ceaser_Sa1ad]

Is RLM 66 for the interior?
