Hi to all !
Today I have finished construction of my first model of the plane in scale 1/48. It is a set from Eduard Fw-190 A8 + photoetching 48 556. Unfortunately, when the set has got to me, in it were absent decal to I had to replace technical inscriptions them on decal from updating F, therefore the model has no historical prototype and is my imagination. I shall be glad to your comments
One photo during construction :



And a photo of ready model:

I agree, Alexander, great looking Focke-Wulf 190! It'll be very nice on a shelf somewhere in your home. What is next for you? Russell

Thanks guys for your estimation of my modest work is really pleasantly when do something in the first. Up to this model I never built planes - only the armor. I wish to construct Bf-109 G-6 or F-2 but I have no now this model, it needs to be bought. I think to show you result of my following work in 2 months.

Thanks for your messages, guys! It is very pleasant to me to read good comments to my first model of the plane. In my city it is very difficult to buy good model + PE, therefore following work will be ready not earlier than in 2 months...

Superb as always my friend! I think I have this kit although i would love to compliment it with the one having the larger engine and longer nose, the "D" version if I remember correctly. I believe it also had a bubble type canopy almost like that of the P-51D Mustangs

Have you ever thought about doing a WWI biplane? Do you remember the Russian one I sent you a picture of some time ago? I would love to see your work with wing rigging and control cables, cloth covering and wood framing.

I have an Etrich Taube, one of the old Flashback models. I have taken it out maybe 20 times planning to start it. All the cables just frighten me so badly I put it away again! You need to come visit and give me inspiration!

Hi Jim! Thanks for your response about my modest model - I believe you too exaggerate my opportunities in construction of planes - I have no sufficient experience and knowledge to construct biplane WWI, but the most important - I have no this model, but I like sets of biplanes WWI from Eduard!
I hope, it not last model of the plane from me - the following will be Bf--109 F-2 from Zvezda and Bf-110 G-2 from Revell: I very much like these planes.
