Four of my builds are now entering the final furlong and there are still six weeks left in the groupbuild. So what's a boy to do? Start another one, obviously! I have already built one of these kits in this GB, albeit the Profopack version. This is a Weekend boxing. I was surprised at just how well the new Eduard kits go together so it didn't take much persuading for me to build another. This will also be in the standard mid-war colour scheme but this time in the markings of JG300, with blue/white/blue RV bands and a yellow panel under the nose. Sprue shots:

I've completed this Fw 190 in the summer of 2015. I had big expectations of the arrival of this new tool kit, reviews were very positive, sadly it did not proved to be an easy kit to build (for me). I had to work hard to make proper fit. The following main modifications were done, among many small ones: - thinned the very thick training edges of the wings - added the missing MG ammo racks in the wheel wells - replaced the guns and the pitot to metal tubes - shortened the undercarriage legs, added brake wires - replaced the wheels Please also not the antenna wires are missing, as I only realized the small bump from the canopy is missing after the removal of the mask and I didn't risked to ruin the almost finished model to try to glue on it. Thank you for watching.
