1/48 Tamiya-ish Fw190 D-9 "Black 10"--Her Last "Hoorah"

To echo others, your band of friends and followers will happily watch. If you build it they will come and all that.

Didn't another of your 190 threads get resurrected yesterday? I'm not awake yet.

And hey, Nathan, it is good to hear from you indeed. Try not to be a stranger.

 

still here, busy building, got two phantoms, a Sabre, and Tornado on the bench...

Still got a couple of Holy Grail Autos to build and I should be ready.

Totally understand the Holy Grail thing. One kit I'd like to do is an OV-10 with my Uncle's tail number but I know that I couldn't do it justice yet. But I'll keep building and learning the skills needed to complete the task.

I'm watching the Auto builds.

Hey I'm still waiting for you to finish the Ar234........

 

I forgot about that one. That was looking really awesome.

Nice to see you back in here Joe. I look forward to your next project. I hope your well and have a great Christmas.

 

As far as me? I'm well doing good and am planning on a good Christmas. How are you doing?

Looks great... one question, what is the long probe/mast looking thing that hangs down under 190’s undercarriages?

What is it with all these great WWII builders? Everybody moves on to modern jets.

Never went away buddy. Just been hangin' out in the auto section for the last 4 years. Actually.....it's helped my overall modelings skills ALOT hanging out in there.

Ahh.....that would explain it. Glad you stopped back in this area.  I'm doing well.  Still vertical.....

Just an idea but you could pick up a couple of those 1/48 scale Testors kits as they are fairly affordable on ebay. One you could build to have a heads up on whatever fit problems arise and to work on painting skills and the other for a "for real" build. That would get you over some of the "couldn't do it justice yet" fear.

Thanks, Mustang, for the suggestion but I'm way ahead of you there. I've got 2 of the Testors kits and about a half dozen of the 1/72 scale kits (Academy, USAirfix, and Hasegawa). That's one of the reasons I did this year's Weekend Madness group build to get motivated and get moving modeling again. I'll probably start with one of the USAirfix kits. They only cost me $4 a piece. Thanks for letting me know I'm on the right track.
