Focke Wulf Fw 187 -

The dashboard is a sandwich of plastic, photo film and photo-etched parts 

 

According to the manufacturer, the propellers had to be glued firmly together;
I replaced the axles with longer ones made from Evergreen round material.... 

 

The horizontal stabilizers were mounted stably using steel pins 

The fine engravings were completed again after the hull was assembled 

The wings of the almost 20-year-old short-run kit also fitted surprisingly well to the fuselage 

After cleaning the engravings and degreasing the model, the canopy could be masked 

To represent the interior color, the cockpit struts were first painted cockpit gray 

Bottom in RLM65 (Gunze Aqueous) and masked for the next color 

The top was first sprayed in RLM70 black green (Gunze Aqueous) and some areas were subtly brightened (The originals were flown by Focke Wulf factory pilots and were well maintained!) 

After applying the second camouflage color, a high-gloss finish was applied to give the decals a clean and smooth finish.
The sheet metal joints were then coated again with glossy varnish and aged a little... 

Here is the finished bird, supplemented by a pitot tube and antenna mast made of fine steel tubes, braced with rubber strands.
The undersides of the wings are heavily soiled with exhaust soot
received their appearance using extremely diluted Gunze paint, while minor scratches and paint damage were created using AK pens
