1/48 Tamiya Fw-190-D9

Fw-190 –D9  Diorama – Last Check

I have never been a fan of WWII aircraft, but after watching Floyd Werner “Master Class Model  Building Videos” on building the Bf-109G-6, I guess you can say…”The rest is history”..

For my first attempt, I decided to do a 1/48 FW 190-D9 from Tamiya.  The only reason why I chose this kit is the bright Yellow-Red “ Defense of the Reich” Band of JG 301 that caught my attention.  Additional stuffs include the Kubelwagen type 82 and figures – all Tamiya.

Lovely kit apart from the guns on the wings, I have to cut it out and stick it back after the whole assembly process.  Following the steps outline by Floyd, the built was pretty smooth (pardon any inaccuracies if you spot them, I did not do any in depth research).

Since this is a Spring time (early April), I took the liberty to add in ‘color’ in the nature scene.  The covering on the wings and engine cowling are made from epoxy putty ( I think it is a bit took thick).  The benches are scratch built and the tree trunks are actual  branches.   

It was a enjoyable built.  Hope you like it.  Additional photos can be found at: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=77556&hl=diorama
