hi all,

this is my eduard Fw190 A-6 build, its a semi "what if" as it's not actually known if this aircraft ever existed let alone the pilot major von graff!

its not perfect and i would do a couple of things differently if i were building this again, but i have to say a big thanks for a couple of build logs on here recently to help with a couple of tricky steps.

also a big thanks to "miracle masks" for the excellent masks.

Looks pretty cool Paul, thanks for sharing. Any idea which unit this aircraft was a part of?

Jim

thanks jim.

possibly JG 2 , there are a few stories based around the person and wether he or the aircraft existed.

paul

I like it. Looks very nice.

My favorite color on a German figher,nice. How was the build on this Eduard? Wingman out.

hi,

i found the build quite straight forward, you just need to do some dry fitting and realise that you'll have to cut certain parts to make the engine panels and cockpit fit.

paul

Really nice build, the yellow really sets this one apart.
i knwo they are tricky to buils would you reccomend one to an armor guy?>

Indeed, that yellow livery is really something completely different!
Great work on a tricky kit. Turned out real nice.

James, I'd say it depends on what kind of an armor guy you are. If you don't mind, or even fancy, a kit requiring careful work and dryfitting, I'd say go for it.
But if you want a smooth, relaxing build, I'd recommend looking for a Tamiya or Hasegawa kit.

thanks guys, this was the first proper kit i'd used my new airbrush on, there is quite alot of variation in the panels but yellow is so hard to photograph!

i echo what Emeritus has to say about the kit, spot on.

paul

Looks great, Paul!
