Here is my little Butcher bird. These are great little kits, they go together fast without any real problems.

Were? At least Revell Germany has reboxings of quite a few ProModeler kits, including this one.
Anyway, that 190 turned out really nice!
About the only nitpicks I can think of are the quite hefty outer wing cannon barrels (the inner ones look just right, and from the outer barrels' length I presume they're 20mm cannons as well) and the wash on the upper side of the ailerons which looks rather dark and pronounced. It could be just the pictures, but the ailerons' undersides, and the rudder and elevators look OK.
Seeing your build reminded me that I should dig out my WIP Revell Germany reboxing and finally get it done...
Very nice kit, but the moulds were definitely showing their age when they moulded my copy. Flash here and there, pretty heavy sink marks under the rear fuselage requiring filling and shaping with Milliput, canopy horribly blurry and scratched. Oh, and the reason why the rear tail is cut off is that I was already at the stage of gluing the horizontal stabilizers in place when I noticed the rear fuselage had a very noticable twist in it.
