Hey Diablo, I have lots of pics now...too many to post. I have since removed the motor and built pretty much the whole body and have sanded and filled in a lot of gaps....it's looking pretty much complete, minus paint, which is my favorite part.

The motor is back in, all the panels are in place, everything nice and straight ready for the paint, then the canopy and decals.

I'm in California right now, just settled into a hotel room. I'll shoot a couple  more pics over here when I get home Sat. or Sun.

When I'm all done I want to send a CD of all the pics along with it

You know what I noticed ? The decals don't include swastika's. I guess because it's not PC in some places, so I will have to make them.

Take care.

That's cool Nuke, do what you have to do.  IIRC that was/is a Heller kit which is French, don't think the swasti's are illegal to produce over there.

Which paint scheme did we decide on?

CHIT, I can't remember...was it Kommandeur IV/JG 3?

One or two would be fine.


I can't sleep without knowing.


Help me, Nuke.


You're my only hope.

This is a common problem with all European and some American kits.  If a manufacturer thinks that their kit will be sold in Germany, then they will omit the swastikas, even if the kit ends up being sold in USA, England, France, etc., anyplace other than Germany.  That's why there aren't swastikas in the Revell, Airfix, and Heller kits, but there are in the Hasegawa kits (the older ones at least).

You know, you could've saved Nuke some filing and sanding time if you'd spent a little more money on a Tamiya or Hasegawa kit.  :p

Gofaster, I had been sitting on that kit of over a decade.  It was bought with the intention of ME building, not Nuke.  I saw the P-51 he made last year and flipped out.  I asked kindly about doing this kit for me and HE flipped out.  1/24 Fw-190?  Sure.......

Wow.  Over 10 years?  Actually, I think I have some kits that have been sitting around pretty close to that long.  For a 10-year old kit, the detail is pretty good.  I spotted some seams and sprue marks on the FW that needed to be smoothed, but the rest looks ok.  One of these days I'm going to build that 1/25 Matchbox BF109E  kit I scored on eBay cheap.

Update. As boring as these pics are, they do not begin to tell the amount of sanding and fixing gaps in this kit. But, it's going well..I fixed major flaws without ruining any detail. You can see the big gaps that need to be fixed still on the cowel. Its tough to fix these and keep the detail.

Next update may be more interesting.
