Hi everyone, this one is mostly complete so apologies for the late arrival to the group. This is the first “new tool” Eduard kit I’ve built and I’m definitely impressed. The parts need careful clean up but the surface detail is amazing! She’s just waiting on a gloss coat then it’s on with the decals. I’ll post more pics as I go.

This is such a great entry, my friend @popeofchillitown and a great progress, so far!
Love your camo!
Looking forward to your progress!

Got the decals on. They went down very nicely but I’m thinking that the surface detail on these eduard kits really deserves to be masked and painted. Nevertheless, we’ll see how it comes up after a wash. I also added a little light exhaust staining with an airbrush. Not gonna go too heavy with the weathering on this one. Fiddly bits are ready to go too.

Very nice, Ben.
Just noticed the bottomside color going slightly over the edges towards the top surface, perfectly done.

G’day Pedro, thanks for checking it out. Those are the Exito decals, and they’re excellent. One thing I did notice though, the decals seem to be slightly smaller in scale than the markings on the corresponding artwork/ instructions.

Almost there. In fact it would be finished by now but I had a bit of a disaster with the sliding canopy. I have found a replacement in the spares box so I just have to mask and paint it, and then add antenna wire. She should be ready for the headlines soon!

Yeah, me too mate. That’s one of the great things about eduard 190’s…4 in every box!

Hi John, yes they are. The surface detail is impressive all over the kit.
