Super nice. Great work.

Good seein' you around blackdog!

What a good lookin' build Grant. As far as the issues go I am very familiar with these kits and will say this about Eduard kits vs. the competition. If you want to build a bird all opened up then these kits are second to none in that department because they lend themselves freely to all panels open. Closed up? That's a different story as Hasegawa and Tamiya have it goin' on there. Nathan's right about Eduard's website. Additionally in regards to the stencils there are a TON of references on this these birds starting with the Aero Detail books that will tell you not only where to put the stencils but will explain each and every one's meaning.

 I'm a BIG Fw190 fan and am extremely partial to the D line up and really like how you've pulled the camoflage off with this beauty of an aircraft. You did 'er proud Grant.

Thank you guys! The wing roots were not so much trouble but the gun covers were

Wow, well as I just ordered the Profipack version of this on sale, I was a little unnerved when I read it fought you all the way, but then I saw the pics, and it gave me hope since I can see what a fantastic job you made of it! I'm not sure if mine will turn out well, but if I struggle, at least I know it's possible.

Great job!

For a kit that you described as a "Nighmare", you definitely turned this build around and made it a "They lived happily ever after" build.  Great job!

Great job on what is a nightmare of a kit. In fact, down right excellent job mate!

 

 

 

 

Couldn't have said it better myself.  I might have capitalized NIGHTMARE and EXCELLENT. 

 

 

This is one of only a couple of kits that beat me and it got tossed. 

 

 i built the Profipack version last year and it ALMOST went out the window. The engine and front section was horrendous. I kust about managed to get away with it.

You're a right master at camoflague, Grant, this job is just so very nicely done. Thanks for the post and photos, plus the finish details are really helpful. She's a good one.

Very nice airbrush skills. As far as stencil data, Eduard would have you go to their website and download the full decal guide
