Hi,

The color picture presents the 1/72 scale Airfix kit improved with a sliding canopy, etc.

The first black and white photo shows a model that I almost scratch-built at the time no kit of the Fw 190 D-9 did exist. It's a 1/48 model.

The other photos show this 1/48 scale model in the foreground and a 1/72 scale kit (Airfix;  representing "weiße 9 of JG 301) in the background... Photos were made through a pinhole.

Cheers,
Jicehem

Jicehem,

I am new to this forum and I have just discovered your FW 190 D-9s! 

They are truly magnificent!  Beautiful build.

You are one of the very few that knows to use a pin hole lens to keep all in acceptable focus.

Bravo!

Dave

Welcome Dave

[Jicehem]

Welcome Dave,

And thank you for your congratulations...

Since the first day I started building kits, I've been maniac to render on photographs the view of kits as real... I begun photographing kits at the age of 15 with a "box" camera but that was far from good !
The only means I found some years later has been the pinhole. I made all my pinholes by myself in aluminium sheets (when I was working in a printing house) for offset printings.
I also have a pinhole I look my models through to see the rendering of my building. That permits me to correct some details as landing gears (too thick in general, particularly on Bf 109s and Fw 190s...), exhaust pipes, etc.

Cheers,
Jicehem

No. 1,

Thanks for the welcome.  I like to see what other modelers are doing around the world and not just on one forum.  This forum is a new breath of fresh air, a new place to learn.  Thanks again, No. 1.

Jicehem,

The pin hole camera is a great tool, but you have to have something worthwhile to photograph.  Unfortunately it can also show up mistakes big-time but I didn't notice any!! 

Your FW190-9s are great.  And photographing them from a "scale" position lets them shine!

It is a neat idea to view your models through the pinhole lens to look for out-of-scale areas on them!  Thanks for the idea.

You can also shoot your models outside against a real background of trees, hills, cloudy skies and they will be in focus too!

Have you done any build threads on your models?

Hi Dave,

Yes, I have already taken pictures in the open air but at the present time it's very difficult (at last in the department where I'm living) to find scenery without modern constructions...

I've done no thread on my models.
