swralph Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Hello my Friends. This is my latest. Uffz. Julius Handel, IV,/JG 54, Poland, August/September, 1944. I enjoyed building and painting this kit. One thing thing about the kit...The pilots seat did not fit in the cockpit very well and had to be cut down a lot to fit. All the best. Ralph. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Very nice Ralph. I like how the yellow color extends past the spinner and onto the prop blades. The complex “mottle” scheme looks great as well. All in all, just superb!!!!!! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatFlyHalf Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I'm working on a similar model now. For me the pilot seat fitted okay but I struggled to get the wheel well inserts to sit properly. It is the second time i've fought an Eduard Fw190 in 1/72 on this one horrid problem. Maybe it's me? Probably is. And you have come up with a really great bit of modelling Da iawn Ralph.

Jackson Duvalier Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Sorry to hear about the seat fitment, seems most unlike Eduard. Model turned out beautifully, you're a mottling ninja. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boelki Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Hi Ralph, that's really great. Very good paintjob! The yellow on the prop looks perfect! I have one of this kits in my stash but can't decide to built eduard or Airfix. The only thing which I have decided is that it should carry a Hagelkorn under the belly (provided by the Revell kit). But too many projects on the bench to finish first... Best wishes Boelki 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernst Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 This is a very impressive rendition of a beautiful aircraft, there's something about the 190. Karl May would have liked the decal under the cockpit as much as i do. It makes as much sense as Hans Joachim Marseilles love for jazz and he could get away with it, of course. Excellent, Cheers, Ernst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opus999 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 That's terrific looking! The mottling is superb and I really like the yellow on the prop -- that's very unusual. I had to go back and check the scale, because I could've sworn this was 1/48! Great job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
