I can highly recommend the Hasegawa 190 kits. I'm building 2 of them right now and they practically build themselves, and have no accuracy issues. Only problem is the decals are kind of thick on the older kits.
No more updates yet mustang. I used some 10 or 12 gauge speaker wire strands. Strip the insualtion and you have tons in one small piece. I made one complete wrap around one end of the cylinder and tacked it with a tiny bit of CA then just wrapped to the other end leaving a bit of space between each coil. I use the same stuff for tension springs on aerials as well. Just wrap it tightly around my smallest drill bit and your good to go!! Thanks for the compliments on the detail!!

Hey Jester. Any more pics of the latest update to the landing gear. What exactly did you use for the spring?

Jester: Man I have to say that gear detail is awesome! Thought I had mastered the spring detail with a watch band retainer spring in 24th scale and here comes this "clown" in 48th scale showing me up. Nice job Eric.
Joe Rix:Excellent job on the 72nd scale job. You, like Bish, are among the guys I was referring to a couple of posts back. Great job on that small plane. Should be ready for that show in Grand Junction in a heartbeat pal.
Bish: You know I really have to hand to you buddy as well as the other 72nd scalers in the GB here. You all are doing a job apart from the rest of us. Whatever we all are doing in 48th scale or bigger you all are accomplishing in a teenier scale. Great job and great diroma. I've got you in the intro post buddy. Stay tuned because my slowpoke butt will be followiing up with some updates after this month. Thanks for your input, expertise and photos pal. Don't be a stranger and feel free to join in with another one. Still waiting on my D-9 to get here.
Bish Jester75 mustang1989 Thank you very much for your participation and don't be a stranger pal, Joe (the other one of the three of us here) I did notice there were a lot of Joe's in the group build... I think we need some sort of numbering system. Joe 1, Joe 2 etc. Either that or a poll to re name them. Any ideas.

You can call me anything you want....except late for dinner. Bish, incredible work!. I see you went with the black spinner ehh? The figures are a nice touch too, they add a sense of scale to the plane.

She came out beautifully Bish,,,Bravo!

Thanks all. Joe, i will deffinatly keep checking in. I keep popping into the Steel cats every now and again to see the great work there.
Nathan, i have been buil;ding dio's for about 25 years. Very early on i decided that how i wanted my builds, and now all my 72nd aircraft and 35th armour are built that way. I have been improveing the aircraft bases over the last few yers, now i am at a point where i am really happy with them. Now need to work on my armour bases, which can be a bit more detailed.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Jester, you're just a scratch buildin machine! Nice work, the brake lines and actuators add alot to the build. I get lazy and only add that stuff once in a while. Joe Rix, looks nice...awaiting some paint now.
Bish- You almost snuck this one by me. Didn't know you were so close to finishing. That just looks amazing, specially for a scale I'm not used too. The decals and paint look awesome. Adding the Dio just puts the icing on the cake. You've obviously done these before, I would have a tough time getting a scene to look that real. Hope you stick around awhile.
I got all my oil weathering finished. All thats left is some exhaust stains and alittle post-shading. Too lazy to post pics tonite, hopefully tomorrow.
LOL, sorry Joe, didnt mean to get you panicked, hehe.
Bish - That is extremely well done. You have done a magnificent job on your Butcher Bird. Not to mention the awesome base and figures. Bish it has been an absolute pleasure to participate in this GB with you. I'm well aware of your GB commitments but, I do hope you continue to check in with us and offer some of your valued insight. Now, if I can just get mine finished up so I can get back to my Tiger for the Steel Cats GB.
Eric - Good God Man, Don't freak me out like that again!!! Once I got my pulse down to normal I rechecked my photo and indeed it is the light playing off the detail in front the bomb rack. Where's my Prozac.

Well done Bish!! Great save on the short decals, definitely cant tell there was ever a problem from the pics. It looks right at home on that nicely done base too, just the right size for whats going on!!
Looks like you've got a nice good primered base to start from Joe!! In the pic, is that a crack just to the right of the left wheel well or just the way the light is catching a panel?
Heres the pics of the finished Fw 190A-6. This is the same aircraft as Lawdogs excellent build and he already gave a great history of that. To finish it off, i use pro modeller wash for the panel lines and lightly went over with AK's streaking grime.
All in all this was a nice build. As you can see, its not quite as well detailed as Lawdogs, some of the final detail on the engine panel's is not there. It went together really well, with very little filler needed. The only real issue was the dimensions, being to long. But this was only noticed because of the nose decals.
Anyway, here it is.
Joe, thanks for running a great GB. I really wish i could build another, but as always there are so many great GB's on here, my bench is pretty fully booked. I look forward to round 2 at some point.
Eric - Nice work on the wiring.
A couple of pics of the initial primer coat. The major issue I need to correct is to rescribe the wing root bottom front. This is proving to be a bit of a challenge in getting both sides to match.
Eric... Nice touch on the coil springs!
Some lovely work on those Eric.
Lol
Small update but a time consuming one. I try to add a little detail to the landing gear on all my ac builds. Using the In Action book on the Dora, I added some brake lines and some electrical lines to the struts and actuators. Used some lamp wire for all of it. Also added what looks like a coil spring on one of the hydraulics. All painted up and ready for some detail painting and a wash tomorrow.
Decals soon I hope. Trying to decide if I want to do Dortenmanns yellow 1 which does not have the IV Gruppe wave or the black 1 which does. I kinda like the wave, but I kinda like the yellow number. Decisions decisions......
JOE RIX Jester75 mustang1989 Thank you very much for your participation and don't be a stranger pal, Joe (the other one of the three of us here) I did notice there were a lot of Joe's in the group build... We're every where!
We're every where!
lawdog114 Thanks for having me in the group build. I really enjoyed it. Joe R- I may come back with my Eduard A-5 in Egon Mayer's JG2 markings before the GB ends. I just have to decide whether or not I want to subject myself to that torture. I think I would rather get a root canal.

Mustang, i will have my completed pics up tomorrow what ever happens with the sabre. Just trying to kill two birds with one stone when it comes to takeing the pics.
Hey Eric, I think you've done a rather admirable job on your drop tank. Very well done
I shot my first primer coat (Tamiya Gray) and I'm now fixing a few panel lines and such. Overall I was quite pleased with how things looked after the primer went on. But alas, I did have some touch up to do. I'll get some pics up tomorrow.
Allen, Nice choice on the Tamiya A-3. Looking forward to your progress.
Sweet work Jester. Now make about 3 more and send them this way, haha!
