In the home stretch now as all the sub-assemblies have been added except the nav lights and antennae wire. Should be wrapped up this week.

Wouts, thanks so much! Well, after a nice modeling session today I was able to get the -190 finished. The last items were the wingtip nav lights installation and the rigging wire. This is the "Double Chevron" FW-190A-8/R2 flown by Gruppenkommandeur Hptm. Willi Moritz from IV./JG.3. This one is a textbook Sturmbock bomber-killer with side mounted fuselage armor, armored canopy glass quarter panels, 30mm outboard cannon, 20mm inboard cannon, faired over cowling gun troughs and a weighted VDM prop. The following items were used for the build:

Eduard Look FW-190A-8/R2 instrument panel and belts
EagleParts weighted prop blades and spinner
EagleCals FW-190A-8/R2 Decals
AK Air RLM Colors

This was a really fun build and the kit was very nice, also. Thanks for stopping in!
