    For my next Fw build I'm looking forward to starting another one of Eduard's excellent 190 kits, my second. This time it will be strictly OOB and I will go with scheme B in the not so usual dark green colors. More details once I get this going.

    Eric, @eb801

    This is another excellent choice. Your JG5 Blue nose 190 turned out magnificent, and I will definitely be watching this one too... 🙂

    As soon as I finish up some of my previous commitments, I will be jumping back in our Luftwaffe group with some FW-190's and possibly even some Bf-109's in my "Iron Werke" style of building. You guys are making it SO very hard to resist temptation with all of your wonderful subjects. Anything from JG-54 is among my favorite planes.

    Thanks for starting another project. This one has my full attention ! Take care and stay safe.

    What an excellent entry, Eric @eb801
    This one will be a great addition to your recently finished 190.
    Definitely also going to follow this one.

    Off and Running - Back On The Job...
    After taking a bit of a holiday from completing that DoraWings Lancer, I have got my modeling mojo cranked up again and have commenced building my next group submission - Eduard's delightful Fw 190A-5, my second Fw-190 group entry. No need to say much at this point that I didn't before. This kit is a pleasure to construct. So here we go starting with the main office.

    I wasn't paying attention (duh) and installed the seatbelts upside down. Gotta love PE because they popped right off and I was able to position them the proper way. Whew!



    Funny how when you stare at photos there's always something to correct. I'm going to tone down those red knobs and fix a few other items. I will no doubt have the fuselage with the cockpit installed together over the next couple of days.

    Great interior, Eric @eb801
    Same here, pictures, for some reason, always show more than what you would like to see in most cases.
    From your pictures I would say, perfect result.

    Moving Right Along...

    Another busy "holiday 'round the corner" week but I managed to get the fuselage together and taped the wings to check the fit. Superb. The only hang up here is the fuselage rear top and bottom seams appeared to be a tad short shot and, unlike the previous Eduard Fw kit, I had to use Mr. Surfacer 500 to clean it up. Next up, I will glue the wings in place and add the tail stabilizers. I cut off the tail antenna post for reattachment later. Experience has shown I would have broken it off sooner or later. Just a matter of time.

    You're going to have a really superb result with this one, @eb801.

    All Taped Up!

    Wings and stabilizers now attached. Wings taped up to get the proper dihedral and hold it there while the glue sets.

    I love how well this Eduard kit goes together so easily. The fit is terrific. Stay tuned for more.

    Thanks for looking @tcinla, @fiveten, @johnb and @garybrantley.

    That is quite a large clamp, is it possible to adjust the tension with this one?

    Even with the PE details the work on the cockpit serves you credit - very nice indeed @eb801.
