The latest model to add to the little fighters I've been doing. A FockeWulf 190A8. I have a Tamiya version of the same fighter to do at some point. Both really cheap at £12. It can cost more just to buy the paints, especially when they have to be posted.

Built any more recently GH?
I've bought a clear shell for my 4 wheel drive 1/10 scale off road car. I need to design how I want to paint it. Might go with the same white/silver with red flames that I did for the Tamiya.  G

I thought those were different models cos middle pic looks like grey and green (American navy colours?) it's just the light and photo colour palette!
Looks great, well done.
I have to repair my ball diff. I could buy a new one but... £47 plus shipping. Think I need to bite bullet and just get it out, service, clean, replace balls or other worn parts, re grease and rebuild. Argh! G

Two months prior to the Pearl Harbor attack, orders came down requiring all USN and Marine Corps aircraft to be painted overall Non-Specular Light Grey 602 except for upper surfaces, which were painted Blue-Grey (FS 35189). On aircraft with folding wings, the portion of the wing viewed when folded was also painted Blue-Grey. This scheme was to remain until February 1943, after which time the tide of war had turned against Japan.
SBDs wearing USN Blue-Gray scheme with subdued roundels. Close examination of the photo shows traces of the red and white tail stripes and red roundel center. Time Life Archives.

Interesting. I have another model on the go, when I can fit it in. A Bristol Beaufighter. That will be a Coastal Command version torpedo bomber. I'm going to have to do a lot of masking to get the invasion stripes right.

I've been slowly working on a few new things. An old Tamiya kit of a Yamaha XV100 Virago with rider. It's a very blingy bike with masses of chrome parts. I have finished most of the bike, part finished the luggage and of course the rider to go.
