After a long pause, finally time for a new 190.

Gonna do one of the early Jabos with the Mickey Mouse emblem.

Looking at your previous photo, I see your dad had the step on the right wing when gluing it to the fuselage. Tell him next time to remove plastic from the mating tab. That'll eliminate the step.

[Reini78]

preshaded and ready for paint

camo done with MRP RLM74/75/76

for my dad the RLM74 was too much greenish, therefore he mixed it with some more grey

Looking good so far .

 

I'm going to build the Airfix 1/24 version soon and because of the lack of after market parts for that scale it looks like I will be doing it as an OOB build - i.e. the same paint/markings scheme as yours.

[Reini78]

main landing gear done

no spoked wheels included in the kit, used some aftermarket resin ones from the spares box, can´t tell anymore form which manufacturer
