Nice start Mike. You have a good experienced group here to help you through your first Eduard kit...lol!
I was able to find some time tonight to start my A-8.
I acutally got some parts cleaned up and glued together.
This is my first Eduard kit and I'm looking forward to the build.
Mike
While waiting for the flat coat on the pits to dry I worked on both wings. The A-8s wings fit a little better than the older A-4, but the -8 has some retarded inserts for gun fairings on the leading edges. These parts are real small and fit bad.
I got them lightly sanded and used some surfacer and they're looking much better.
ryoung....What Bish and JoeRix and everyone else has said, Welcome! and NO JOKE... Group Builds are addictive, I too have done nothing but since doing my first here. Its cool watching everyones progress and having them see your build. Enjoy! This is a great group...

I managed to wash the sprues and resin bits for my PCM and Hasegawa A's on new years eve. I discovered that I have a metric butt-ton of PE and decals for FW190's.... I might need to expand the stash just to use this stuff up.
Should be sweet rollin Matt. The bulges on that MG cover stand out alittle on the Tamiya kit. I have an Eagle parts gun cover that I tried to fit on my Hasegawa kit and it just doesn't fit. The part is a beauty though.
Didn't get much done on my F-8 last night. It's been cold, and I was pretty drained dealing with the family, which has been knocked down by the flu. That and I was in compulsive mood restoring lost rivets on the giant P-47.
Still, I did a quick test fit to reassure myself that yes, this is a Tamiya kit.
And it's kinda dwarfed next to the Trumpy Jug...

Nice start guys! I got some cockpit painting done and most of the engine insert done on my D-9. Will try to get some pics posted later this evening. Still trying to get this Spitfire off the bench too, lol.

ryoung Hi there, This will be my first group build ever. New year resolution is to get back into the hobby! I haven't built a kit for quite some time, I have a 1/32 scale 190 in the stash. I haven't touched the stash for over ten years. Ryan.

Welcome back to the hobby. Be warned, GB's are addictive. I have built for nothing else in the past four years and i tend to get myself in the deep end by commiting to to many.
But they are great fun and a great way to share and learn.
Which 190 kit do you have.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3
Will have to get started on mine this weekend!
Ryan- Welcome to the forums and a big welcome to the GB. I guaruntee that you will have an excellent experience with all of the folks here. Feel free to ask questions regarding anything modeling, whether it be reference or technique you will find all the answers you need here. The folks are absolutely fantastic and I am sure you will find many a new friend. So, relax, break out some glue and sprue snippers and most of all ENJOY!

Bish I have only been asleep one night, and come back to this. Great work guys, this is moving right along.

wjt619 Happy New Year everyone! It's finally the start date and I'm diving into my Eduard A-5 right now!!

Looking good Nathan! I'm applying a wash/weathering to the cockpit myself this morning.
Nice start Joe, looks like you made a minuscule dent in all that PE! Hey Ryan welcome aboard and have at it. Nothing like the Luftwaffe to get you back to modeling again.
I got my cockpits painted and shadows and drybrushing done thanks to the quick drying Tamiya German grey.
rudder pedals for the A-4 got drilled out, and the A-8 will get pe pedals
One thing I've done with my last few builds was add rivets to the fuselage with the amazing riveter from RB tools. I copied plans and added rows here and there, not rivet for rivet, and I stopped when I felt I got the point across! They are real subtle so it hardly shows in the pics. This necessary evil has to be done before the halves are joined together.
Tomorrow cockpits will get a wash/flat coat/ pigments/ chipping, then everything can be closed up!
Ugh! i started in late 2011 and am just about done. I hope to put the finishing touches on tonight or later tomorrow. I'm a bit out of the bounds of group build dates but I'll post a few photos when she is done. Just a teaser for now. (1/32 Hasegawa)
Ok you guys. I started building last night and this morning. I got this far.....
Hey Ryan. Welcome back to the hobby! Let me know what the manufacturer of the kit is and what model of 190 that it is and I will edit you in on the opening post. Aside from that you have chosen the right place to come to as I have learned more from this forum in the past year than I have in all of the reading and video watching I have done over the past 10 years! There are alot of good people here who will be happy to help out should you run into a snag. Youre in good hands here chief. Now lets crack that box open and build. Good to have you in here Ryan, Joe
Nathan,
Fit is superb....I am very pleased with this kit thus far.

Nice detail. What set is that again?
Got a little done today... Not what I wanted but a start.
Got started on the A-8. Added a little pe to the otherwise outstanding oob parts.
Belts painted
Got the base color and shading done on the seats and IP panels. I didn't like the molded on seat cushion on the A-8 kit so I robbed one from an Eduard kit and thinned the sides down. I'm not sure about the Quickboost seat, as it looks too small(narrow).
Wow Hutch, movin right along. How is the wing to fuselage fit?
I sprayed some RLM76 on the Ta152 for the underside. I will let it sit a day, before adding the topside colors.
A couple of nice looking schemes you are going for there nathan. My A-6 will also be in the markings of JG 1, but with black and white squares instead of stripes.
Put me down please. I have an old ARII 1/48 scale Fw-190 that would fit right into this GB. I have a couple builds to complete before I begin on the Fw-190 but they shouldn't take too long.
My official entries:
Gonna use some leftover pe from an eduard set. I was gonna do the box art scheme as I also have these decals from Aeromaster as well, but then I stumbled upon this Sturmjager:
...and heres the A-4 with ultracast seat, wheels, and Master barrels. I'll be using the kit decals for the box scheme:
I'll be painting on the cool JG 1 cowling stripes. The rest of the Hasegawa decals should be ok.
