Weathering almost completed. Just some few touches and will start to put the whole thing together plus decals. Last will be flat coat.(the other butcher is waiting on the line) —————————————— Make: Eduard Title: Fw 190a JG 54 Grünherz Scale: 1/48 Release: 2011 #rgrmodels #plastickit #instahobby #scalemodels #48scale #eduard #jg54 #limitededition #hobby #plasticmodel #plane #german #ww2 #mrpaint #alfahobby #scalemodelsworld (at Luleå, Sweden)

Paint in progress. Using mainly MRP paints, lacker and acrylic. I must recommend it because it is a problem free airbrush paint, and the pigments are good quality. Here we can see the underbelly done plus staring with the main cammo... notice the strong yellow, it will have to be tone down with washes and filters. I can’t wait to start the weathering 😎. Those living in Sweden head to @alfahobby.se, they have a huge selection for MRP paints 🤙🏼 —————————————— Make: Eduard Title: Fw 190a JG 54 Grünherz Scale: 1/48 Release: 2011 #rgrmodels #plastickit #instahobby #scalemodels #48scale #eduard #jg54 #limitededition #hobby #plasticmodel #plane #german #ww2 #mrpaint #alfahobby #weathering #scaleart (at Luleå, Sweden)

Double the pleasure, double the pain: I read reviews and some of you guys warned me about some part fitting issues with this kit. I particularly found it a bit hard the wings. Somehow the inner structure on the lower wind sat too proud and gave some problems to get a gap free fit. Some after some sanding and test fitting I positioned the upper wings. This left still some gaps and seams that had to be dealt with, so Perfect plastic putty by Deluxe Materials was used. It is water based, so as you can see from the short video is easily removed, once dry, with a wet cotton bud and rubbing gently along the seams. Once it absorbs a bit of moisture, it will start to dissolve leaving you only with the almost perfect fill. Please note that some minor re riveting might need necessarily if the putty covered them. —————————————— Make: Eduard Title: Fw 190a JG 54 Grünherz Scale: 1/48 Release: 2011 #rgrmodels #plastickit #instahobby #scalemodels #48scale #eduard #jg54 #limitededition #hobby #plasticmodel #plane #german #ww2 #mrpaint #alfahobby #newproject #pe #photoetching #fw190 #cockpit #riveting #modelismo #alfahobby #backonthebench #patience #ammomig #akinteractive #framework #butchers #deluxematerials #perfectputty #waterbased (at Luleå, Sweden)

More progress on the office. The absolute tiny PE parts were put on the dashboard... all of them not measuring more than a millimetre or two. A challenge to the pulse!. I also noticed that Eduard seats were a bit vague, not even a cushion to stick to the base so I have made my own one from good old putty. The trick is to let it dry enough to hold the texture/weathered lines and reshape the putty until desired effect. Then it will be painted and weathered with oils for that little extra used look. Kind of a bit of a slow process but well worth it so far. —————————————— Make: Eduard Title: Fw 190a JG 54 Grünherz Scale: 1/48 Release: 2011 #rgrmodels #plastickit #instahobby #scalemodels #48scale #eduard #jg54 #limitededition #hobby #plasticmodel #plane #german #ww2 #mrpaint #alfahobby #newproject #pe #photoedge #fw190 #seats #cushion (at Luleå, Sweden)

The level of detail is awesome. We are talking of few millimetres PE. Here we can see right side cockpit controls for one of the FW 190. —————————————— Make: Eduard Title: Fw 190a JG 54 Grünherz Scale: 1/48 Release: 2011 #rgrmodels #plastickit #instahobby #scalemodels #48scale #eduard #jg54 #limitededition #hobby #plasticmodel #plane #german #ww2 #mrpaint #alfahobby #newproject #pe #photoedge #fw190 (at Luleå, Sweden)

Big thanks to alfahobby.se for providing my next project . It is actually two kits which I will build simultaneously but different from each other. All of you guys living in Sweden should definitely have a look at their site, it’s my favourite!.

Doesn’t happen often but it did. Gripen had irreparable damaged. Quite disappointed with Italeri plastic quality... it is just too soft. In all my time building models only two kits were beyond repair, first one was a Zvezda 1/72 Mi-26 and this one. I will stay away from both manufacturers for a while. On the bright side, next project will start pretty soon and it will definitely be better quality 👍🏼 #plastickit #italeri #instahobby #scalemodels #72scale #rgrmodels #broken #poorquality #stayaway (at Luleå, Sweden)
