FW-190A built as FW-190G matchbox

[old thumper]

Built as part of the FW190 STGB. Knowing very little about the FW190 or German aircraft in general I found myself doing a little research and was pointed towards the aircraft in the wartime picture being G model rather than A model FW190s. A few very crude modifications then followed with this build which is finished in a faded winter camouflage scheme. 

I didn't get as much fun out of this build as with most other Matchbox kits for some reason. Maybe this was because the kit was a little tricky to smarten up or maybe it was because I went about building it the wrong way. Either way here it is.

 

I feel I didn't really do a very satisfactory job on this kit but if anyone thinks they would like a go at building one of these then please be aware of the Matchbox group which needs your vote.

Your doing a great job on these old matchbox kits. some models just don't go to plan, but it looks great so don't worry.

Your Fw-190 looks (how to say) perhaps a bit "faded".

But it really is a great model, and a remembrance for all us "old modellers"

who could buy it when they were 12 or 13 years old.

It was a great time,and you do illustrate it perfectly.

Congratulations. Polo.

Very nice, I built a few Matchbox 190's back in the past - more memories there.

Love seeing these old Matchbox kits, reminds me of my youth. This looks fine to me, a job well done.
