Happy Focke-ing New Year

Once the Swiss Miss, Le Jug and the micro-MiGs are done, I’m planning to dive into a good old Focke Wulf Fw 190. But I’m absolutely torn as to which one I should build…below are the three variants/schemes I’m considering…check ’em out and let me know what you think!

Fw 190A-7 (Eduard 1/48)

Fw 190F-8 (Tamiya 1/48)

Fw 190A-8/R-2 (Eduard 1/48 or Hasegawa 1/32)

Doogs

Hi there. Name’s Matt. Or Doogs, if you prefer. Since this is an About page, let’s get straight to it. I’m 30. Married. Father to an adorable little boy, beautiful baby girl, and four dogs. During the day, I’m an associate creative director at a social media agency in Austin, TX. In my free time (such as it is), I write. Or wrote. Or try to write. Historical fiction, mostly. It’s a nice contrast to the digital content and social media strategeriness that I live with every day. I also get all interested in cars, photography, technology, politics, history, movies, and knitting. Actually, scratch that last. I can barely tie yarn in a knot.

    Knowing you, the 1/32 A8/R2 would make you most happy.

    I too vote for the 1/32. For selfish reasons, I’d like to learn how you do the motle camo on the fuselage.

    I agree that the motle camo technique would be cool to see. I also like the white wash fuselage one. Getting that to look right would be awesome to see as well. Any of those kits would be interesting to see a build write up. What is your ranking of the fit/detail quality of the four kits.

    Thinking the A-8/R2… but the A-7 is a close second.

    I’d go for the A7. I’ve an A6 which I’m about to do, when I’ve finished the Eduard 109E1 and plan to do more Eduard 190s.

    I like the armored up A8. A 1:32 A8/R2 (EagleParts Conv) is destined for my bench very soon.
