1/18 scale FW-190 A-8 has left the bench. The model produced by HobbyBoss lacking a lot of details, it has them less than models in 1/72 but I wanted to make it because the larger the model, the easier it is to stuff the electrics. I remade the interior of cockpit, added aluminum foil seatbelts, added gunsight and detailed a bit landing gear wells.
The version I’m building is from the limited edition Fw 190D JV 44 – Sachsenberg’s Platzschtzschwarm dual combo boxing (Cat.no:1154), meaning there are two full kits supplied in the box. There are enough parts to make both a D-9 and a later D-11 version.
This is the 1/48 scale Focke-Wulf FW-190D-10 plastic model airplane kit from Hobby Boss. (6) Hobby Boss # hbo81717. $21.79.
The Fw-190 V-18: Part Two. As promised in Part One, Basic Construction and Painting of the Hobby Boss Fw-190 V18, Part Two focuses on some of the tricks used to increase the detail of what is already a pretty nice model. This kit is a joy to build with no flash and excellent fit of all major components.
The Hobby Boss V18 isn’t the only 1/48 Känguruh hopping around (sorry). The very nice and rather pricey kit by RV resins is also available (MM review link). The HB kit (#81747) is molded in light grey plastic and is composed of 68 injected and 2 clear parts. The modest decal sheet provides markings for one aircraft, the V18.
The Focke Wulf Ta 152C was a further developement of the venerable Fw190 and designed for medium-altitude operations and ground attack. It was unique in the "langnasen" Fw family as the only version powered by a Daimler-Benz DB 603 instead of the Jumo 213 used in the Fw190D and Ta152H. While there are no records of of the Ta 152C being used in
