Mike Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 After not finishing a flippin' thing last year, I finished my semi-stalled Swedish J-22A in January, and now as part of a dual build of Eduard's new Royal Class boxing of the early Fw.190As, I've finished the European one (option D on the sheet). I added a resin cockpit (A3), bronze gear legs and resin wheelie-pops, and painted her with Gunze paints for the most part, covered with a few coats of the AKAN Flat Varnish, which I'm quite fond of these days Bada-bing! Now I've just got to polish off the Trop (option N on the decal sheet), and you can see both being built up here if you're interested. I could use the encouragement for the Trop, as it's going to be getting a little dio base of a bit of desert hard-standing, while the mechanics jack up the tail to pop off the prop. I've got issues with the base warping, and I've got some of the equipment inbound still, so delays might be the order of the day and I'll need some encouragement! Thanks for watching, and do try the veal 57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Thanks fellas - it was enjoyable. Everything fitted really well, and this semi-retool of their 190 line is really impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which parts/sprues does it carry over from the older 190 kits? Can I buy option C schnauzer decals off of you please? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that The instructions agree with you, so I'd better break out the glue. The Trop doesn't seem to have had them fitted according to the bottom plan in decal instructions though.

neil5208 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 after making the 1/72 Eduard version I would like to do one of these in 1/48 as I thought the details were impressive for such a small kit and built up quick. After seeing yours I think a trip to the shops are in oder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing yours I think a trip to the shops are in oder! Don't forget that I used the resin cockpit, bronze gear legs and wheel covers, plus wheels. However, the kit details are still VERY good, and the build would have been a tad faster, even though all these parts were drop-in replacements It is a lovely kit and an easy build. It's really impressive the improvements they've made, and I think I've already said that, but there it is A quick build it was, which is far from my usual fare, which often involves stalls and fallow periods, sometimes stretching into years!
