    I CAN SEE THE FINISH LINE

    Thanks @johnb,@holzhamer,@fiveten,@garybrantly, and @j-healy - thanks for the positive comments.

    All I have to do now is attach the antenna to the canopy and do a little touch up and I will be crossing the finish line at last.

    Looking great already, my friend @eb801!
    Camo shades look extremely realistic.

    FINISHED! ALMOST!

    @johnb,@holzhamer,@fiveten,@lgardner,@tcinla -I finally reached the finish line after much delay and correcting some painting mistakes. Just a few touch ups needed and then it's off to the photo shoot. I really enjoyed this build so much that I have another Eduard Würger waiting to be built next - a Fw-190A-5. This was a totally delightful experience despite starting off on the wrong foot with the initial bad paint job. Now I can turn my attention to my almost completed Pucará.

    Absolutely stunning, Eric @eb801
    The blue accents are great on this scheme.

    Looks very nice Eric. Those Eismeer Geschwader 190s are the most colourful of all seen in those last months of the terrible onslaught that was WW2. Looking forward to see it in the highlights!

    Eric, @eb801
    This has turned out magnificent ! The blue really pops against the 74/75/76 scheme. Well done my friend, and I hope to see it in the headlines section soon. Between you and Pedro building up all of these wonderful Wurger's, it's very hard not to drag out a few of my own... 😉 In due time I will, but I have to clear some projects out first.

    Take care and stay safe.

    Eric, @eb801
    You built a magnificent looking plane ! I'm sure you had a great time building it... and I thank you for composing this build journal, and for starting another one for your JG-54 Wurger. These Eduard 190's do indeed look very good.

    This Luftwaffe group would not be successful without people like you, who have helped to make it what it is today.

    I sincerely thank you for that. Stay safe my friend, and I will be watching your newest Eduard 190 as it comes to life..
