Any news on this one?

During the build I use some Bluetack. I only remove it for painting and put it back after.

Looks great!

Great build. All is well that ends well.

Perfect model and figure painting. Photography is also awesome.

The problem was solved a long time ago, a fellow britmodeller sent me the missing decal. Here is the place where you find help!

Excellent result and very quick too.

And here is the second of my two builds of late war JG301 aircraft. This one is the A-8: And finally, the two of them together: Thanks for looking. Volker

Done! The bright sun makes all the shades on the underside disappear. And finally, the two FW190, A-8 and A-9, of JG310 together: Thanks for looking! This was my first participation in a Group Build and definitely not the last. I hope you enjoyed it as I did. Volker

Ok, so here is some progress: The paint job is done. No problems so far. After a gloss coat (Gunze), the decals are applied. Some silvering, but not too bad. A wash with Tamiya`s PLW, grey on the 76, black on 74/75. After some paint corrections and a matt coat, this is left to be done: I have not yet decided which wheels to use, I tend to the threadless version. I hope to finish in three days. Volker

Progress is slow, but steady: I didn`t have much time recently, but now I hope to do the paint job soon. Volker

Great cockpit! Looking foreward to another nice build.

Great result! Btw.: The antenna on aircraft with the blown hood should be sagging when the hood is open. The older, flat canopy had a rolling mechanism for the antenna wire, the blown hood did not.

That is an awesome model! Congrats.

So after a day`s rest I started the A8 (Eduard Weekend 84122). This one will be Yellow 17, W.-Nr. 380374, in 74/75/76, also with the blown hood. I reused the masks from Red 22, hope it works. In case it doesn`t, I will also paint the flat hood, for which I have some masks. If I have to use it, I will change my subject to Blue 4 (W.-Nr. 732183). Not much has been done: I used kit decals for the cockpit and the seat belts. Looks OK. I glued part C14 (upper IP) into A24 to avoid the problems mentioned by others. The rear part of the fuselage is alredy glued. For me that makes further assembly easier. Volker

That looks fantastic!

Excellent result, especially the paint job.

You find my tips and tricks for that in the STGB chat, page 11.

A-9 finished. Photography leaves a lot to be desired, photos were taken with my old phone in the Thai morning sun: I had a lot of fun with this build and I am quite happy with the result. Next I will do an A-8 also from JG301, but in 74/75 and with everythin in closed position. Should be much easier 🙂 Volker

Eduard FW190 A-9 1/48 with Eduard PE set 48556:

Maybe you can get some ideas from what I wrote here: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235116082-fw190ta152-stgb-chat/page/11/#comments

Great work! Looking foreward to see more.

Yes, I`d love to see that done.

Latest state: The engine is in positiion. Progress now is pretty fast as it is mainly assembling prebuilt and prepainted parts. There is not much visible of that engine. The u/c is also in position, Eduard provides PE even for that, brake line and cabling: This build should be done with only a few moore hours of more work. Volker
