Prillers Fw 190A8

[Pabbi]

My entry Prillers Focke-Wulf 190A-8 during his single strafing pass attack on Sword Beach on 6 June 1944 while hung-over

[MarkVerploeg]

Who is hung over ?
You or Priller?
Good luck with the build

some pictures of box content and decals

[Pabbi]

and here we go...

Cockpit, decal instruments, some black for side panel and RLM66 for rest (Xtracrylix)


redbrown for seat cushion


only one piece to add to side panels, sprayed RLM66


fuselages together and engine on, cockpit pushed inside the fuselage


wheel well


decal seat belts, cockpit brushed with matt varnish


this goes easily together good to do a Tamiya kit with no PE after my struggling last build the P-61

Great looking kit and great results

[Pabbi]

thanks Rob.

wings and canopy on, everything fits 100% no putty.
ready for primer

Hmm....a like kits that go together well without the need for putty....this might be one for my B'Day wish list! Gotta love those Tamiya kits!

Great job on the interior....look forward to seeing your end result mate.

Nice painting Job , it is very good

[UKguyInUSA]

Wow....that came together fast?!! Looking good so far.

Quick work mate she is looking great

[Pabbi]

Decals now on, decals are good, thin and not fragile, but carrier film is not cut so need to be cut which is ok for bigger decals but pain for the smaller ones. Instruction decal numbers are also not correct.

After applying the national insignia decals on the sides I noticed that Prillers 190 did not have the lower white so I needed to spray paint over the decals.

[Pabbi]

fM dark was, tamiya weather powder and smoke, EW antenna.. and finished

[UKguyInUSA]

That was a rapid-fire build and turned out a beaut!

[DTrower]

Brilliant job mate

[Pabbi]

thanks fly1ngdutchm4n and Willem
cheers

She looks lovely, i like the subtle weathering well done and highly interesting model, the German Luftwaffe is usually not the first thing that comes into your mind when thinking of D-Day.
Funny side note, my great-grandfather knew Priller in person, they went drinking a couple of times in Paris. Party animals
