Heh Frank,

I really like your Group builds and will find a 'Butcher bird' to build for this one! It won't be a large scale and possibly a 1/72 scale one. I recently ordered from Squadron so if that goes well I will get them to mail out a FW-190. That being said which is a good 1:72 scale kit. Ill log in and see if Edward has one, never built or even owned one of their kits.Hmm

Great!  Glad to have you aboard fellas. 

sk3tch- I can put all three down for you if you like.  Which versions are they?

Carlos- Glad to see you here! Welcome Sign

Bish- Sounds like you have a busy year this year!  Do be careful abroad.  If you would like (assuming you have time) please feel free to start it now, and I would be happy to allow a run-over if you need it.  I would really like to see your work here!

Bugger, i so want to enter this, i have a 1/32nd 190 D-9, will be my first ever 1/32nd kit. But i am off to the Falklands at the start of May, and i won't get back to modelling until the end of August. I will have to see how my B-24 come on, if i can get that done by the end of Sept, i will be in, but it will be a tight push.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Frank, put me down for Tamiya's 1/48 190D.

It's the one I almost started after Xmas, but just couldn't get into it.

Thanks

Frank-any restrictions as to the various versions of FW-190? Early ones ok?

Thanks

Bob

edit-oops...never mind-found my answer over in the Aircraft forum.  Count me in....I promise I'll finish this one....or at least try...Embarrassed

Not sure what version I'll be building though-I have an 1/48 Eduard A5 in the stash, along with a 1/48 Hasegawa F8...not sure that I want to tackle the Eduard kit yet-very detailed but could be very time consuming.

Bob

Bob, now I'm really pumped...it'll be great to have you back.

Good question Bob!  I was thinking that this time around, we would allow all FW-190's as opposed to limiting the GB to later variants.  My thoughts were to include any FW-190 that saw operational service, and excluding only those which were paper projects or one-off prototypes.

FW-190 Reich Defender III 5/10-2/11
Posted by Daywalker on Friday, April 16, 2010 5:52 PM

Welcome to the FW-190: Reich Defender III Group Build!

This group build will kick off officially on May 1st 2010, and run through January 31st 2011.  As always, if you need a little more time that can be easily accommodated.  All scales, production versions, and skill levels are welcome, the more the merrier!  Also, partially completed, stalled, and started projects welcomed!

All production variants from the A-1 through the TA-152 are welcome, no one-off prototypes or paper design studies.

All we ask is that you:

1. Post photos when you can, as we all like to see progress photos. 

2. Have fun!

Pretty simple!  Below are two sizes of the GB badge, all I ask is that you host it yourself on Photobucket or a similar web hosting site. 

Here are a few reference sites I have saved on my computer, hope they help!

BMW 801

FW-190D-9

Cybermodeler 190 page

FW-190A-8 restoration

White 1 Foundation

Bookie's FW-190 page

Ta-152 page

Looking forward to seeing you here for some good modeling fun.
