I was off all week long from work, and I decided to do something for myself, and slapped together the new Hasegawa boxing of "Pips" Priller's FW 190A-5 and BMW 327 Sportser. The BMW is literally the 1st "Car Model" I've built since I was a kid. The Aircraft is an easy build...based on the old Trimaster molds, it's very accurate. Some filler is required along the underside of the fuselage, where the wing's aft panels end. All in all, a fun project to clear my creative cobwebs. Enjoy!

Wowza. That is certainly different. The BMW turned out awesome. I really like the third pic with the two of them side by side.

Good for you. Great build and pics.

When Eduards 190 series came out, I am sure Hasegawa became aware they would need to do something to get back into the game. I really like this kit.

Hi James!

Very nice couple of models!

The Hasegawa kit is very good isn't it? Did you use the kit's decals to do the grills of the car and the brown "leather" piece for the two engine stripes? I found them to be unusable in the kit.

Other than that I found it was a great combo.
