Hallo Thomas
willst du den Sitz weglassen oder hast du durchsichtige Rumpfteile? .. ich glaube ja, dass man von von deinen Änderungen nicht mehr viel sehen wird .. naja Hauptsache man weiß das es da ist

Sieht jedenfalls gut aus!
cheers

Sorry Steve, of course i should have written in English;
I just expressed my concerns that the changes will not be visible in the finished model .. .I concluded that everything that counts is that oneself knows it is there

all the best

Hello folks,
at first @ Steffen : Manchmal baut man für eigene Ego .LOL
For the rest : Sometimes a modeler builds things that wont be seen afterwards only for his own pleasure.

Hi Thomas
Hmm 3 BMW 801 ... do you do a whole Staffel?
Well, I am at something similar at the moment .. 4 Fw 190 on my bench F-8, A-4, A-5 and A-8 ... maybe I'll take some pix tomorrow ...
Your model looks pretty nice!
Do you already know what c&m it will get?
all the best

Hi Steffen,
thank you very much.
not a Staffel, only from the model A-7 to A-9 in the moment ( further projects are a complete self made BMW 801 full resin from the old hasegawa kit and than a A-4 or A-5 trop).
The Fw 190 A9/R8 will be from an unidentified unit during the Battle of Berlin, so i will choose RLM 82/83 and partially RLM 76, some parts will be aluminium. I heard from a Fw 190 A-9 that came down near Finowfurt
For the other butcher birds ask me tomorrow again.
