Building the Airfix Focke-Wulf FW190A-8 1/72 A868210 - Part 4 - Priming, Pre-Shading and Paint

Описание

My build of Airfix's Focke-Wulf FW 190A-8, Scale1/72, Ref: A868210. Part 4: Priming, pre-shading and making a start on the painting

In this part I prime the model with AK Interacting White Micro-filler and primer. In white the panel lines stand out really clearly, and it's surprising just how much detail there is on what essentially a cheap mass-produced 1/72 scale kit from Airfix.

Once the primer has tried and cure I pre-shade the panel lines using the Nato Black colour in Vallejo's Model Air range (any black or dark grey will do). I'm hoping that black pre-shading over a white primer will give enough contrast so that the pre-shading isn't lost when the darker greys and get added and the layers of paint build.

Finally the first later of paint is added, which is the light blue/grey on the underside and sides of the fuselage. This is included in this video because it shows how my painting technique tries to let just the right amount of pre-shading show.
