Marklo Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 Twenty six build threads some of them multiple and more to come. That makes for about forty builds only 19,960 more 190s to build …. Should be a great STGB 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't have the WNr for my Dora feature in the current issue of Aerojournal (No. 91) Thanks for the information, that photo is reproduced in the book I mentioned by Jerry Crandall, FW 190D-9 Vol 2. Of course all this research sparks interest in all aspects of Focke Wulf building and I've been stash mining to see what sparks my interest. While I have my selection of short nose machines I also have a nice choice of long nose D-9's and a few D-11 and D-12's to build my JV 44 collection. Lastly I have a couple of the end of the line machines, the Ta 152. I have the original kit by Trimaster and after the moulds were taken over by Dragon they re-appeared in other boxings, I have one by Hasegawa. It's just so easy to get distracted. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81-er Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Given I've got this lot freshly arrived from Eduard, I should probably build one for this GB. I just need to decide which variant and markings James 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Bob Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 That's the problem if you go on the Eduard site, the kits just multiply, I mean 4 kits but only 2 boxes. (not counting the tiny Me 262) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Wahoo only two more sleeps till the off. My plan is to finish my two meteors ( both just need the third camo colour and decals) , the Aviatik, the Geest (upper wings, rigging and paintwork) and the Tornado (wheels , detail painting and a few more decals) over the next few days. (Hopefully) go shopping for more FWs and break open my two ( or more??) kits over the weekend. Edited January 19, 2023 by Marklo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 From the sublime to the ridiculous the worst kit and the best kit in the shop but in fairness the D was €6.99 how could I not buy it. The A3 is going to get converted into V1 And I think the Dora might end up as this. And before everyone starts pointing me at all the V1 and Ta152 kits out there I’ll just say firstly I love the misery (Mrs Doyle) secondly I don’t have the budget for them and thirdly one of my New Year’s resolutions was to stop buying stuff off the internet ( plus kits have gotten very expensive online anyway) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Bob Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I have finally decided what kit I will build for my second entry into this STGB, a late FW 190D-9 fitted with a Ta 152 tailplane. (part of my stash reduction program) As it's the ProfiPack kit the only AM required is some hollowed out exhaust stacks from Quickboost. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) ... today is the day when I can finally start massacring professionally building my horde collection of randomly carefully selected FW190's.

Stew Dapple Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Morning gents, hope you're all good Here we are then, I was stricken with the Covid virus this week (even though I had all my jags) so this is the first morning since last Saturday where I've got up and not wanted to go straight back to bed Coincidence? Anyway, am good to go, I wish you all happy and successful builds Cheers, Stew 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V1 was virtually a completely different aircraft. Could almost say the same about Dora/Ta 152....but good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
