Ray_W Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 @Marklo You can include me. Enzo's 2023 GB calendar works really well. I hesitated in signing up, but with a January start this one is good to go. Subject will be Eduard's 1/48 A-8/R2, most probably Oblt. Hans Weik's markings per Eduard's evocative box artwork. Not a colourful scheme but suitably mean for a Butcher Bird. This kit 82145 was released in 2019, that should mean the decals are not Eduard decals. Let's hope so. If not I'll raid the decals for another option out of their earlier, and much more complicated build, kit 8175. Ray 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the new parts are the fuselage halves, engine and wing uppersurfaces. That should make this kit far more fun to build than the ludicrously complicated earlier kits - of which I still have three in The Stash...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to have several of these, too... I bought them when new to kit-ruining and found them on Ebay for what seemed like very low prices. I now know why that was! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The originals are fantastic kits if you want to display the engine. Otherwise? All I can say I was very happy when Eduard did a new tool series. 1 hour ago, jackroadkill said: I seem to have several of these There is a positive. If you build them all you will become expert in detailing BMW 801's and/or expert in how to close the panels up to get a reasonable build. I have mine sitting in the stash for that day when I feel crazy enough to build a 190 with the panels off. At this stage in life I think been there done that. But, I may be swinging back when you see all the resin I have to open up my Hasegawa F-8E for the Crusader STGB. So much for simplicity and on with the painting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolkerR. Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 If you want to build the "old" version of the 1/48 Eduard kit with the engine open, you better use this: https://www.scalemates.com/de/kits/eduard-48556-fw-190a-8--117537 Fortunately I still have one for my planned build. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 @Marklo a question if I may I was thinking something along these lines. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hobbyboss-81747-focke-wulf-190-v18--990970 Im curious if it must be built as a prototype or in this case could it be done as a Luft ‘46 subject ? If not the prototype would be fine its just a curious question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 Prototypes would be fine as long as they flew. TBH I wouldn’t mind paper projects ( I was thinking of building one of the FW190 centrifugal compressor jet projects) either just no blatant WHIF’s. Oh and of course ‘Marks first rule of post pandemic shopping’ swung into action, went back to my local ALDI and not a single FW left plenty of everything else, sigh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Hi Marklo, Please count me in with a run of the mill 1/72 Revell FW 190 A-8. Supposed to be a pretty good kit. It can't be worse than the 1/72 Airfix offering I am just finishing. Cheers JR 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
