AmTech Focke-Wulf Ta 183 Huckebein

Decal sheet....wont be using much of it 

lovely little fire crackers 

Cockpit built out-of-the-box 

it will be a "what if" anyway so I figured what the heck...let's make it a nightfighter  

Box stock wheel wells 

The basic colors before applying the camo scheme 

 

 

Plan view...used the lower color the apply as the camo scheme on the top...hard to photograph as it has very low contrast....less in real life then would appear from this pic 

the gloss makes it hard to distinguish...but that's a burned exhaust nozzle 😉 

 

 

 

The decals under the wing started to wrinkle as soon as the matt coat hit them :-/ Never happened to me before.... 

added a little pigment to the gun ports and shell ejection openings.. (will have to fix antennas) 

Weathering on the exhaust nozzle is hard to get on camera...looks better in real life...
