Louis, well done for starting this wide ranging GB! I hope it is as long-lived, informative and as much fun as those you've run before!

I'm going to attempt an ongoing project of 1/48 FW190 builds.

The initial subjects of the project will be:

A-4 JG 54 - Hannes Trautloft
A-5/U-12 - JG 11 - Erich Hondt
A-5 JG 54 - Water Nowotny
A-6/R-11 'Neptun' JG 300 - Hajo Hermann
D-9 TBC
D-13/R-11 - 'Yellow 10' JG 26 - Franz Gotz
TA 152 TBC

I'll use these kits

I hope to do them justice, John @johnb - it'll need a full year and a following wind!

What an amazing, aggressive multi-entry, my friend @yellow10!
Or, should I call you 190-man? 🙂
Looking forward to see these beauties built by your standards of excellency!

That’s a whole lot of würgers Paul! I ‘m afraid competition is a sure thing when it come to 190 or the ubiquitous 109. I’ll be building an 190 F- 8 also, amongst others. But I’ll be closely following yours, that’s for sure;-)

@holzhamer Pedro, I may be leaning on your knowledge from time to time! As I said to Chuck I’m up to my neck in GBs. All the kits I’ve got here (maybe with the exception of the Z-M 152) should be ‘relatively’ straightforward tools to work with. I’m glad there’s an F-8 in the pipeline! Hopefully many more 190s across the piece. Your checker-nosed A-6 was a work of art! Butcherbirds are just a beautiful shape to me. Despite my ‘Yellow 10’ handle, I still prefer the radials.

@tcinla - these and the biohazard will keep me 'honest' and at the bench, as you say! Still working on markings for the D9 and the 152 - maybe Papagei Staffel for the Dora. I know it's a well trodden path but I'm going for the blindingly obvious with this lot!

@tcinla - I will certainly take a look, thank you - that kit is headed for the D-13. If I go 'red and white' I will dress the D-9 up as Heinz Sachsenberg's plane - I like the 'motto' best from that group!

@tcinla - thanks - I’d guessed as much - I’ll be careful to sand it all flat - although I intend to pose as much ‘open’ as possible - time permitting!
