Old news as always

That is very tasty, Impressive just dosn't do such fine building justice.

Why?? Ive bought some kits with stunning boxes and the kit has been crap. I don't get it, the kit looks nice so lets slag the box off.

Look at pictures and then bitch about it for 18 pages????

Absolutely stunning, A finish I can only dream of achieving

Bring on the hun's Yet another mighty fine example!!!!!

Now that is one of the best (if not the best) colour schemes and build I have seen!!!! SUPERB!!!!

Its a shame that no company has got the paint close enough as yet. Ive got the model masters cockpit green but its too light so I, as you had to mix. I used 3 vallejo paints to get what looked close enough to me. Yours looks pretty much spot on (not that Im an expert, I just like what I see)

That is a blinding build, I love the tub colour, what paint is it because I had to 'trial and error' mine

Thankfully I bought our FRIAT 4 day passes as soon as they were announced so got them for the same as last years price

Now that is impressive, Lovely build!!!!

Got to love those colours, it makes me want to dust off my twobobs kit

I do love that scheme, very eye catching

Many thanks for that, I will see if I can find it as it sounds interesting

I apologies if this is a subject raised before but does anyone know of any detail sets for the above aircraft. I know there are gun barrels, seat belts and dials but apart from that it seems a bit lacking. Even if there is a resin engine for a different type but could be shoe horned in would be a bonus. If not it looks like it will test my newly found interest in scratch building I had the Mk1 along, long time ago and remember it not being a bad kit but that was before I started giving a rats bottom about detailing (about 30 years ago). Many thanks

Stunning, just stunning. The work on the burnt panels around the engine is very effective

That is a blinding build and I am loving all the detail in it

Thankyou Jerry that was an interesting read, I must have missed that when I googled the subject. Problem is theres so much info on stuff nowerdays you sometimes miss the good stuff. Thankyou once again for the help, its very much appreciated

That is very helpful information, Thankyou muchly as it is a great help with my research.

Hi all I am currently working on a new project of the Eduard FW-190 A-5 in captured markings. Now, my questions arnt so much to do with the colours etc. On reading about this particular one which is the blue one used by the 325FG I was intrigued to read that it wasn't in flying condition and was used for 'ground trials' so what I would be interested to know is does this mean it kept its guns for these ground trials. The picture in the decals shows the wing mounted guns but Im never 100% on these things. Im guessing that as it was used for ground trials then it would use the guns in a range as I have seen P-38's and other aircraft to zero there sights. Has anyone got any knowledge on this subject. I do have the book on order but I was hoping someone may know something that the book dosn't Cheers muchly

That is some stunning paintwork, Makes it very eye catching.

Im watching this with envy, The finish is blinding and I hope I can replicate it with mine

Stunning!!!!

You are absolutely right, I got it cheap so used it. I tried to sort the nose out but obviously not enough and I just completely forgot about the slats until it was too late Everyone is welcome to there opinion, But can I ask, rather than tell me what you dont like what would you have done differently and how would you have gone about it?

The rivets are moulded into the surface of the kit, I then just added a wash over the top once I had let the decals dry.
