Fw190 Focke Wulf 190 A8/R2 Tamiya. Painting and weathering (Part2) 

thank you so much!

Thank you so much

thank you Mike!, I hope you continue watching my videos...a Heinkel He111 is coming next

Thanks for your so interesting comment Ricky!

Good point! You never really see this done.

I do it myself when I fly dads Warbirds@@zachnar0125

Some pilots use the seat belt to hold the control stick back fully

Thabk you so much! :)

Thank you mate!

thank you!!, I like it so much too :)

Thank you very much!

Thank you, its a good way to control the preshading phase :)

@@TurbineModels HOW did you do that> What was your medium? Was that just ink?

@@jzghostrider66 I only diluted black tamiya paint (laquer one) with water and, after few minutes, I removed the excess with a cloth slightly wet in alcohol

Thank you Jean Marc, your words are really so nice and so motivating too. Of course!, Im already suscribed to your channel and I must say that have some great dioramas..I'll be waiting for more of your work

@@TurbineModels Please make a Pakistan Air Force Hawker Tempest Mk 2 which was the first fighter aircraft of the country !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be honest, you are totally right, in this aircraft combated in 1944 Leutnan Klaus Bretsneider, defending the Reich of B17 USAAF attack....When I Painted the lower engine department in yellow it was a mistake :(. If I paint with Tamiya or hobby color, it's not necesarry let dry paint so much before to apply the Montex Mask (some minutes is enough). Thank you again mate!!

Thank you so much!. So often, I use and "odorless thinner" (from Ammo or Ak intereactive, bot have a good quality)

Wondering the same. Looked like a wash from citadel.

EDIT: Nevermind at the start of the video you can see he used straight Tamiya black.

It could be both things. Are you using tamiya paints?...If you are using laquer paint like tamiya or mr hobby, then, ratio should be:75% thinner + 25% paint ( a bit thinner than usual). Presssure should be also a bit lower than usual. About your airbrush, in 1/72, what kind of needle are you using?, I recommend you 0,2 mm one, otherwise final result will be too big. But what I really think it’s most important, is practice a lot on an old kit because it is a bit difficult to get the control doing the spotted mottling....cheer up!!!

Thank you. I am using an Iwata Neo which I believe is a 0.3 needle. I am using Tamiya paints but I was not thinning out the paints enough. I would say I thinned about 50/50. I’m getting good results if I take the time to mask properly. But the small dots I need to make the mottling on the sides is where I’m losing out. So I will look at getting an airbrush with a smaller needle. I really do enjoy building the 1/72 scale planes. I didn’t think I would enjoy them so much. So far I’ve built the Fw-190, Bf-109 and the Spitfire. Lots of fun. Thank you for your reply. My next challenge is weathering like you do. Amazing work.

Thank you for your nice words :). I also think the only important thing in this hobby is enjoy, I was building kits for several years and I'm enjoying everyday with each new model that I do. Probably, if you are using and Iwata NEO your needle is 0,35mm, it's good to apply base coat on your models but a bit big to paint cammo details... Good luck and continue enjoying! :)

The way I like doing spot patterns on my models. Is to trace onto loose leaf paper the body or wing then use all different sizes of punches to create patterns. Then use that as my template. And by just shifting the pattern around you get a unique pattern.

Hi Konrad, Cone is painted with 100% XF1 (flat black) and propeller base coat is 100% XF27 (black green) and light with 30% flat yellow+ 70%black green

it's a very good question :)... I should say that probably the airplanes in east front didnt get the best maintenance, specially in last part of war...By the way, I always try to do my kits realistic but not only, for me it's so important that thery are attractive too

@@TurbineModels I understand completely totaly not saying that i don't like them the way you make them. I was just thinking

@@tiezel5656, Yes!, I know and I really appreciate your comment, moreover I think that probably you are right and my model it's a bit over weather :D

Good point!

Hi Roman, it depends, if the paint is too dry I use a bit of thinner for laquer paint to wet the napkins

@@TurbineModels thank you, i will try it tomorow... thanks :)

for the whole process?, build and paint?, I spent around 30-40 hours, no more than this.

Think he meant like how long have you been doing models. Could be wrong.@@TurbineModels

Hi!, yes, between 1,5 and 2 psi (not more than this) and paint well diluted, 70%- thinner.

Hi again!, I think that I didn´t understand you when I wrote my answer last time...do you want to know equivalence between PSI and BAR...1,5 PSI is close to 1 BAR

Turbine Models 1bar is 14,5 psi ... So 1,5 psi is close to 0,1 bar I think that is not enough to spray paint.

@@vonszmigiel , it's truth I must beg you sorry, I was wrong..Normally, I use 20 psi to paint base paint and 15 (not 1,5) psi to paint mottling...

Thank you very much Dariusz!
