Thanks!

Outstanding D-9! Well done.

Brilliant machine and an inspiration to, many of us.

and yes, you do have advanced modellers syndrome, in a very very very heavy state as well

but that is a very good thing if you enjoy it.


well done, i hope that i achieve the same level one day

Thanks for the comments guys.

One thing this project has made me appreciate is just how good the Hasegawa kit was. I'm currently building the 1/32 Roden DH-2 kit and it's a total pig. The moulding is awful, the flash is dire and the fit is atrocious. This kit, with the gem of the Aires resin kit is a neat and fairly simple project, and with it's completion comes the realisation of the idea I had 20+ years ago. It was either going to make or break me with modelling.

This kit was a dream compared to the Roden kit I'm doing, so if anyone fancies doing a 190D with the Aires set, I say 'go for it'

Jim

It`s really fascinating!

(If my memory serves me right - this one is from Galland`s circus)

Excellent work Jim! I love the lower candy stripe scheme; it really came out well.

Speaking of pigs and FW 190s...can you say Airfix 1/24 scale Fw 190?
