Thanks!
A little story behind it. My grandparents bought a '36 Chevy 4 door sedan in 1936. Must have been doing pretty well. It's the first car my dad remembers. There is no kit for a '36, but I found this in the LHS a while ago. I'm not going to try to convert it to a sedan, but will do it as close as possible to what he remembers, color and interior wise.
It should be a beautiful example, Steve. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

Sounds good!
starting to get some paint on
Looking good! Nice work masking.
I’d like to jump into the GB with the HobbyBoss FW-190D. It’s been a pretty straight forward build to this point as can be seen in the following pics. Since this is a straight OOB build, I’m not adding anything extra. Since it doesn’t come with a pilot, I’m kind of dismayed there isn’t any seatbelts included. I also don’t see any advantage to the use of PE on the tiny parts of the cockpit. This was brush painted with MM acrylics. This was brush painted with MM acrylics. Appreciate any thoughts and tips for improvement.

Hi, Mike:
only problem is that this particular GB is intended for subject matter existing in 1939/40. I've looked around the web, and it seems that the FW 190D series didn't enter production and service till 1944, so it would not be appropriate for this particular GB.
If this isn't so, I am willing to stand corrected.
Perhaps you have another kit from the requisite time period? Currently these "World at War" GB's are opening on the 75th anniversary of each of the war years, so the planned "1944" edition won't get going till 2019.
I am sorry, but I really do need to keep the GB's focused on the specific year in question.
Nevertheless, you're off to a good start.
Hi Mike,
The"Pride of the Luftwaffe" GB is dedicated to the FW 190 and Bf 109. Your build would fit the bill there.
Good start!
Good suggestion, lost. Thanks.
tempestjohnnt that 109 looks awesome.
mawright20 cool looking 190 you are puttting in lots of labor on it
my ju 52 is still waiting on decals they should be here on the 30th but I started on the wash of all those blankity blank corragations!!!!!
Nick.
There are a lot of them! Hope it goes well.
its been a while but started the wash wasnt as bad as I thought,

Bish Thats come out rather well Nick.
Good job, Nick!
The yellow with a little camo
Now that's sharp looking, tj. Nice work.
I like that tj, really interesting scheme.
Markings are on.
Nice
That's one colorful bird, tj. I've not seen that particular scheme before, and it looks spectacular. Well done!
the decals are from the kit (airfix) lots of micro sol ans set for the corrugation.
the canopy frame work on this is almost nonexistent I will give it my best shot.
Good progress, Nick. You've done very well with the decals; looks like they snuggled right down--not always an easy thing to accomplish.
I've notice the problem of nearly non-existant canopy frames on some of the older Airfix kits. Haven't had to mask any yet, though. It appears you're overcoming the challenge!
CMK thank you I may have a work around going to paint the glass this afternoon I hope and if my fix works?
my lastest pics.
