Hey Jason, Here are a couple shots of the 190 and the repair. I haven't done the unit number yet and still have more decals to apply. The whole build so far has hinged around the little white circle that is part of the unit number. I used a white circle decal as a guide and painted the black border and repainted the white area by hand. I'll be coating them with Future before proceeding with the decals.

 

 I checked the wing tip height and visually checked for alignment at 3 points.

 

 

 Thanks Jay for the positive comments. Did get some more done on the FW190. I've added the unit numbers and squadron emblem to the port side. Painted the prop and added the spinner decal. Painted the canopy and added the girls name also. Started adding a pin wash to the panel lines too. Here are a couple photos of White 11+o of 9/JG5.

The canopy hasn't been fixed yet, I'll have to remove it to apply the dullcoat.

 

 As soon as I get the unit numbers for the starboard side things should move along quickly. I still have a bit to do on the lower surface(ie: panel line wash, decals, detail paint). I should have that all done. Just set the unit numbers, finish the weathering, then dullcoat.

 After seeing that FW200 Condor you've built with the cool squiggly camo, I've been considering a twin engined Night Fighter. Might just build that Tamiya Eagle Owl that has been calling to me to build for awhile now.

 

Hi there.. Been following the GB in a shadow..

 

Sad to hear about the accident, but the plane came out REALLY well! Almost like the accident helped?

 

 

And happy belated D-day, everyone..    Here, let me give you some more Norwegian WWII history.. This time about D-day!

You know how many Allied ships the German Kriegsmarine sunk on this date, that participated in the landings?  One.. Off nearly twelve thousand ships that was there, the German Kriegsmarine sunk just one.

It get's even weirder...  Off all the twelve thousand ships there, the Kriegsmarine did find their way to a Norwegian ship. We had like.. 3-4 bigger ones?  I just find that too weird. The unfortunate vessel, HNoMS Svenner:

Uboat.net writes the following about it:

History:

Svenner (Lt.Cdr. T. Holte) was torpedoed and sunk off Normandy during an attack by the German torpedo boats T 28, Möwe, Falke and Jaguar.
The wreck lies in 31 meters in position 49º27'42"N, 00º15'06"W. 41 Norwegians and 2 British died, 187 of the crew survived.

 

Funny, isn't it?

 Thanks Jason, the spinner decal went on pretty straight forward, used Micro-set to get it into postion then Micro-sol to get it to lay flat and take care of any tiny wrinkles. I overshot the center by < .5 mm and had to trim with paint.

 Hey Huxy, Thanks. I should clobber all my aircraft with a book! That is a very interesting article on the HNoMS Svener. Strange fate indeed.

Hey Jay, any plans for a dio/base with the Destroyer? I've seen a model of the Blucher, but I haven't built a ship model in a LONG time. I did get the decals for the FW190. Just haven't had motivation. Actually I almost finished a Bf109 in service with JG27 in Africa. Wasn't real happy with the canopy. I should have fixed it prior to paint. As it was, I made an error and paited the lower glass panels and broke the rear section. I did get it in place, but it looks horrible. I plan on replacing it with an aftermarket one. AnyHugh, I should get back on track and get the decals on White 11+o and have her finished up soon. Looking forward to seeing the 1/700 destroyer progress.

I may have missed that ship...

 

Give me the information again, please

Looks like a great start however!  I myself prefer full hull ships...

 

 

For me, things are very hectical nowadays, as I got a VERY short deadline for a diorama.. A POW camp that was in Norway.. Check out the Diorama section, page 2 for a little more right now..

 

The Gloster Gladiator is indeed done, but still awaiting to be photographed..

 Hey Jason, Sounds great. I will be looking forward to seeing progress on the Z class Destroyer and the Battlecruiser.

Mobious great work on the 190. I love it but there is something about hte landing gear angled in that just bothers me. (not on yours just the really planes)

A bit late on my part but.... (LOL!) the attack by the S-Boats and sinking of the Svenner is well covered in the book, "The Longest Day". This attack was pretty much the only offensive action against the landing by the DKM on D-Day, just like Priller's strafing run on the beaches. Allied air and naval superiority was that complete in daytime. Pin pricks against the Allied landings. I believe there was also an American destroyer that was lost to shore batteries after either grounding or hitting a mine off Omaha.

 Hey Jason, those are cool looking ships. Very nice. Glad to read the missing prop has returned.
