Exceedingly simple little kit of course. I'm using this one to attempt a captured winter livery. Just to try some things out. Assembly is basically done. And it has a pilot. So he's in there. Next I have to mask the canopy and start getting the original Luftwaffe scheme laid down.

Blackbased and ready for camo, and in typical "me" fashion I knocked it off the holder and broke the vertical stabilizer off. Drilling and pinning it and then I'll get back to painting.

Let me find a chair for this one. Off to good start.

Alberto

Gotta love those Matchbox kits and their 2 or 3 color sprues. And sadly, aren't gravity free either....bugger.

Fun kits bossy!! I have the stabilizer pinned and re-attached and have found the canopy. Now off to the paint shop again. Ha!!

I am curious; I have been wanting to do the Matchbox A7 for a long time but are there aftermarket decals for those kits? I can't imagine you're using 50 year old decals for this project.

Kyle DeHart kirjailija
No, my kit decals are pretty rough. I bought a sheet. I'll have to look at the manufacturer when I get back home. But, it's just a generic sheet for a 1/72 FW190 A4, it's not specific for this kit. I figure the sizing will at least be in the ballpark.

I have done a quick and dirty mottle/splinter. Nothing fancy or particularly good. All will be over painted white anyways.

Dave
Paint color tones look good.

Thanks Dave!

First attempts at winter on the left. Never done this before. I'd like to not cover everything up. Tough.

Kyle DeHart kirjailija
More whites added. Stars added. Exhaust staining added. Figuring out the next steps now.

Final photos added. Really fun little build. Also a photo with his big brother from Hasegawa that I built last year.
