Here are the photos of my completed Fw 190D-9 in 1:48 from Tamiya. A kit that is buildable, but with some fit issues in the wings and fuselage. There're better alternatives to it though, in the shape if the Hobby Boss Dora family. That's all for now! Next model will be Italeri's 1:48 Mirage V Dagger. It has already been started, I drilled holes on the main landing gear struts to add metallic clips. This will hopefully improve the stability of the gear.

OK Guys, After some correspondence (and acceptance) with dazdot I am going to start this model.It will not go into the voting, because it is more than 25% done before it starts. It is a shelf queen and was restarted with the start of this GB. I started this build in a different model site (Large Scale Modeller) and lost interest/time with it until last week when I was searching for a resin seat and found it in this box. It is a 1/32 Hasegawa Fw-190 D9 with a conversion set from Renaissance and a MDC cockpit set. There are some more goodies in the box, but I am not sure if I will need it. Here are some pictures from before the restart. The box. the Renaissance conversion set. This is original for a D-13 conversion, but there is not much difference between the D-11 and D-13 nose. And the decals will be from Eaglecal. This is the scheme I will be building. And here are some pictures of the build then. The new nose on. This was the text used on the other build " I have sawn of the nose and replaced it with the one from the conversion set. The brake was on a panelline and very easy to do with a fine saw. Then came the trouble. because the brake line is on the edge of the firewall, you can't use some plastic plate to strengthen it. Now it's secured with only some super glue. When I will put the fuselage together I will see how to strengten this." Here is a picture of the painted insert for the engine. This gave the nose more strength. Here is a picture of test fitting the rest of the nose parts. And here is the cockpit of MDC. That is a nice piece of resin. Now it was on to the wings and these are different than a D-9. Here is what I said in the other build. "I have made the gun holes in the wings for the MK-108 canons. The ones in the A-8 kit are to small for the fitting of the masters MK-108 gun barrels. So I had to improvise with some plastic tubing." This was the last done before it became a shelf queen. Cheers,
