What an excellent entry to this community, Jarmo @jp
Welcome aboard.
Your Fw190 looks perfect as does the base. No mistakes to be observed.
I do like the painting and weathering a lot.
I have to say, I don't see any mistakes - probable or improbable. Very nice work!

Thank you guys for nice comments, and I also appreciate nice welcome from all of you.
Glad to be here!
Beautiful work, Jarmo, and outstanding detailing on the engine and exhausts area. Your gentle approach to the mottling is also admirable. One small suggestion is that you use a decal setting/solvent solution to get the markings to snuggle down into panel lines, or gently score the markings with a new knife blade where needed to achieve the same effect. Congratulations on completing this outstanding late-war butcher bird and thank you for sharing your work with this site!
Thank you for comment Christopher.
Good point. I did use both decal setting and solvent, but maybe those fuselage markings should sit a little bit better... Perhaps few more rounds with solvent would be needed, so maybe I was a bit hasty.
Decals are gathered from different manufacturers (Eduard, Xtradecal and Kits-World), and probably those Xtradecal ones are bit more resistant for solvent.
A very nice addition to the Wurger Fan Club.
Welcome.
Excellent result!
That's a beautiful 190! Excellent modeling skills on display. Welcome aboard the best modeling site on the net [not that it's a competition... 🙂 ]
Thank you all for nice comments.
Surely gives a "push" for current build with "not so easy" Zoukei-Mura He-219 😉
