Another Revell 1/72 Fw-190 R11

This is my second entry for the nightfighter GB. This is a bit of a monster update, so consider yourselves warned!

Box art and sprues





The strangest destruction layout I've ever seen!



And the clear parts.... I'm not having much luck with these lately, am I?
When I saw the state of the canopy, I knew this would be a 'throw it together and move on' affair!


Cockpit done, didn't go daft as you won't be able to see through the bloody clear parts anyway!


Main assy done, fit was really good, only this one wing root that needs filling.


Started on the paint work. You can see here that not only is the canopy horrible quality, it also doesn't fit at all! Normally I'd try and build this up with card, but I was losing my rag with clear parts after the Defiant debacle so I left it as is.


Radar fitted. I also replaced the kit guns and pitot with brass tube.


Decals and a wash, and a bit of gun smoke!


Few more final touches, and we're done! Over to the reveal section

I'm really hoping the next kit is going to be a bit more enjoyable!! Lol!

To suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous styrene is good for the soul...maybe! Great job again despite the challenges

Looks like your kit was a bit better fitting than mine and I like the paint job. But you are right the clear parts of this kit are shameful and really let it down which is a pitty because the rest of the kit is quite well done if you don't mind a bit of flash.
