It doesn't have the BMW engine Grun IIRC.  They probably had to form it around what they have.

I was gonna say it's missing its swastika (for historical accuracy), but then I noticed the company is in Germany.  

Thanks for the news.  :)  Cool stuff.

grunherz
They are using (i think dont quote me :)) a chinease engine , that was the closest fitting engine for the profile of the 190.
All in all i think it looks fantastic , much better  see it flying than not just cos of a few cosmetic features.

Russian copy as I understand it as far as the powerplant is concerned.  I think the angle of the plane in the photo doesn't help in terms of how that contour looks,

I know it has a different engine, but still the cowl countours are obviously off and frankly I dount it has anything to do with the engine. :)

Its too angular, cylndrical and the front part is not rouded off enough.

It has something to do with the polygon count. They wanted to make a version that the average video card could handle and attract more subscribers.
