Hey Julez! Excellent build, as always!! Please get some pics of the lower surface- I'd like to see that NMF again!

Hey Frank, I was hoping to build Barkhorn's JG/6 ride. Don't know if JG6 would technically qualify as "Home Defense" unit, as they fought mainly on the Eastern front. I do have options of an aircraft from JG301 with HD bands.

Mo- No problem buddy, I don't worry too much about those technicalities! By all means, I would love to see Barkhorn's JG 6 ride. Funny... I just received a autographed photo of Barkhorn in the mail I bought online for my collection. That, and the book I am reading right now by Helmut Lipfert of JG.52 mentions Barkhorn's name quite a bit. I suddenly feel an urge to build one of his mounts as well...

Rob, thanks for the comments mate I'll get some undersurface pics up but it will have to wait until friday or thursday your time...I can't seem to upload pics into photobucket from my laptop but i can from my daughters, i have the kids on weekends so i'll have to wait until then...
Smoothed the wingroot MG door's. That's some tough sanding with sandpaper.

Drilled the MG's and that little scoop forward of the supercharger intake. Shot a coat of primer on it.
Hope to have paint on this one by the weekend if all goes well.
Mo.
Geez Mo, you're really moving on this one! Great work so far. Wing root looks especially good- well done!
Has the deadline been extended?
If so then I might be able to fit Oskar Boecsh's Fw-190A8/R2 in this build.
Don't do it though, I don't even have the kit lol.

raptordriver Has the deadline been extended?

YES SIR!(where is a military smile face when you need one?
It went the way of the dodo with all of the other good smilies when the site got redesigned. *Sniff*.

Looks neat! You'r right at my favourite part of modeling, everything's clean and smooth.
Graahh! I wish I had a model to decal right now lol
thumbs up!
I attack sharks when I smell them bleed
Looking very good Mo! I agree with Voidses- love it when they're all shined up and ready for some personality!
Oooohh.... The deadline has been extended. Maybe I'll actually be able to get something done by Feb.
Update, still getting the rooms in the house painted. Modeling stuff still stored Hopefully after Thanksgiving. The itch to build is killing me.
Mo, Nice..Very well done camo joblooking forward to seeing some decals on
Rob, here's a pc of the underside as requested...I'm afraid my photo taking abilities havn't improved...I gotta get a booth and figure out the lighting i think....
Good to see you about again John, hope you can get some modeling time in soon.
Mo that all looks soooo smooth I can tell it's gonna be a beauty.
Julez your 190 looks very nice which ever way up it is .
Cheers...
Mike
Thanks Mike, i may have overdone the weathering a little, still undecided on that one....BTW hows yours going? Must be almost time for some
No way Julez yours looks spot on mate. Funny how you aked for pictures as I was just uploading some onto photobucket!
Still not finished but I've got her up on her legs, Mainly just some little bits to add, main issue is the spinner which is just pushed on here, I mucked up the spiral decal so I've got some spiral masks on order.
I had a real struggle getting the landing gear set up straight, it still feels a little fragile
WOW now thats a thing of beauty, stunning work buddy
Thanks Julez, glad you like her. I'll keep plugging away and hopefully the masks will be here in the next few days, I did have ago at cutting my own spiral mask but it really was pants!
Satch....is that a "Charlie in the Box" in the background?
I have several "Rudolph" figures as well. At Christmas, my tree has a whole section devoted to "Rudoplh" figures. Of course, a retired Marine would never openly admit this...so just a secret between us guys...lol
Ken
John- Great to see you my friend! Yes, the deadline has been extended and I am looking forward to seeing your build!
Julez- Mmmmm... great work on the bottom too. I have yet to try one of those paint/NMF late war birds, but I am itching to do so.
Mike- I gotta be honest... I just bought some decals for "blue 8" after seeing your work. I love that plane!
Julez, the D-9 you've built is awesome. I really like the bare metal finish on the lower wing panels. Top notch work!
Spike, outstanding looking 190. I like the JG5 "Eismeer" planes. You've got a great looking one there.
Both look spectacular! Thanks for posting
Frank, Mo thanks so much for the comments, I really appreciate them. Frank I look forward to seeing your 'blue 8' one day sooon
Well i couldn't wait, cracked open the box and started looking and soaking in everything to do with this eduard A-5...Have decided on Marking D from 1/JG1 with the black and white striped cowl and i'm giving in to the BMW calling me so i'm breaking with my norm and starting there.....
Julez have you a profile pic of your A-5?
Yeah Mike this is the one...Standard RLM 74, 75 and 76 scheme...
Spike190,
Stunning work mate!
Excellent job on finishing your Fw-190. The exhaust stains are subtle & very realistic.
(stopped in for a lurk, still no start on mine as been bogged down with work and little time to finish current Hetzer project)
Julez- Great choice on the scheme! I like it very much.
Jason- Good to see you! No worries, we extended the end date so there is still time.
Julez, very nice choice, cant wait to see you get stuck in
Cheers Jason I'm glad you like it, Ive got all the little odds and ends on now, just waiting on my spiral masks....
Cheers..
