It's the lousy Shanghai Dragon FW190G3. talking about putty work, you can't really see it in the pics, but I had to putty up a 3 mm gaps on both side of the plane where the wing meets the fuselage.

A lousy pic of the cockpit

Wow. A plane. For me?

Thanks for getting back to the 1940s, Dave. I like the detail on the instrument panel, as always. Is this OOTB or what? Next, you'll have to do some Italian plane with the tricky desert camouflage.

PS -- Don't you find planes to be a little messy, Dave?

Dave, my Brother and my Friend.

If anybody can successfully get through a difficult kit, it is you my friend. Thanks for posting the pics.



ps: In addition, I kind of like how you are dedicating your work to fellow Armorama members. Therefore since I know Olive Drab is you favorite color, I am dedicating my current build to you, my OD buddy from Hong Kong. It will be available in a couple weeks.

He probably hangs them from the ceiling



From viewing how he shoots holes in the ceilings at his apartment, I'm not sure this is a viable alternative. Please not the pic below (lol)
