  Hey Steve,
  I got my first ARC post ready for ya.It's the 1/48 Tamiya Fw190D-9 with the Verlinden detail set.

  Fit in general was good, as it is with most Tamiya kits. Fit of the kit parts with the details set resin parts was good aswell.

  I painted the kit with Model Master enamels, and used the kit decals for "Blue 15", a Dora from 4./JG301 based at Straubing, Bavaria in 1945.

  Weathering was accomplished with an artist oil wash, Doc O'Brien's Weathering Powders, and paint was "chipped" by dry prushing and picking out details with straight silver. Oil streaks were done with a thick wash and pulled back with a Q-Tip to simulate the slipstream. The final coat was done with Polly Scale Clear Flat.
