Thank you kind sirs. The mottling is just Tamiya's RLM Gray thinned with their thinner and airbrushed on a whim to my liking.... I am thinking of replacing the upper wing crosses because the white does not match that on the other insignia...Hmm

I got the decals applied yesterday. The upper wing crosses and squadron/groupmarks are some near 30 years old from an old Monogram sheet, 1981-1983 vintage IIRC. I am very pleasantly suprised a how well they held up and worked. The swastikas, fuselage and lower wing crosses came from a 20 year old Aeromaster sheet that were extra on the "last" FW-190 I built around 1991-1992 time frame... Again nice to see how well they held up and worked. This was my biggest conern for my build so far after grafting all the other add ons to this kit. Anyways...

Bit of a ****ache but if you write your post in your note App then you can copy and paste it into the quick reply message box on FSM.

 

My first post was over a normal phone network this one is on the work Wi-Fi.

Great stuff there buddy, keep those pics coming!

I apologize for my recent absence, but family issues have come up and it looks to be a while before things settle down.  In the meantime, my phone is my main source of Internet and unfortunately FSM does not support posting via smart phones. Bang Head

I will do my best to keep up here and keep any changes to page one current, but please understand that it could be days before I can get to a computer to update here.  Thank you for understanding!

Instrument panel and cockpit tub installed this evening and the bottom seam of the fuselage glued together. I will get some pics tomorrow after the seams are sanded smooth and any lost panel lines rescribed. I will probably be able to get the wings and horizontal stabilizers glued on tomorrow as well if I hit no speed bumps.

My Jadgtiger is the first Dragon kit where I had to dig up photos of the real McCoy to see where parts should go, so I can relate.
