Focke Wulfe mean "Butcher Bird" in German. Yes.
So this is the gay plane i was talking about.
Actually the picture quality isnt so good too. I didnt bother to edit so if you really have time, go open up some prog like Photoshop and do an auto level on the pics.
I did the pre-shadin method of painting for this bird. Pre-shading is basically just spraying black on all the panel lines and interiors. I'll show you and example of pre shading later.
As you can see, i have no patience at all to painting cockpits so I just left it bare with only the basecoat. But i think it stillw ould look better with some drybrushing. But i'll do that during the wheathering stage. Notice the little white dot on the left wing? Well that's not paint. That's the bare plastic. Apparently some of the denatured alcohol which i use as a solvent for the Tamiya paints (they actually work better than the own company's thinner.. and cheaper...), dropped on the wing. I wiped it off... removing the paint too. Ah well.... wheathering will take care of that.
You can see the effects of the pre-shading in this pic. The subtle black lines painted unto the panel lines just makes the colour more interesting.... If only it wasnt THAT blue.
So yes, I know the blue is a bit contrasting so i filtered it to make it less contrasting by spraying a very thin mixture of black unto the wing. The effect can be seen here. If i were to spray more, the pre shading effect would be gone. The only way to recover is by sanding off the paint, scribing in the panel lines and then start pre-shading again.
I'm much happier with the bottom of the pane. Just see for yourself. I intend to repaint the gear wells (another blunder i made). So Manas... dont worry about the wells...
PRE-SHADING
This is an example of the first step of pre-shading. This is anohter plane model i'm working on (my own birthday gift actually); Hasegawa's 1/32nd scale Supermarine Spitfire MK. IVb. A huge plane, really. the wingspan alone is more than 30 cm. It's even bigger than a 1/35 scale King Tiger!. Ah Well...
Well then, Ladies and Gentlemen; the FW190 G-3.
"The Gay Bird."
Have a nice day.
