The Devastator wasn’t such a bad guess though, eh?

Is it too late for me to jump in? If it’s ok, please put me in with a 1/48 Eduard Dora 11/D13. It looks like a sweet kit.
Come on in there plastickjunkie! I’ll get you down on the roster.
Thanks Mustang!
Got you entered in buddy!
Welcome to this group of mad people! Well, at least some of us are mad (and I’m completely nuts) [:P]
The D11/13 is indeed a very nice kit. Do you know which marking option you are going to build? I am building a D-13 (Yellow 10) and a few other 190s for this GB.
Talking of me being nuts:
I think you guys still remember that pic of the “assembly line”? Well… uhmm… What’s the best way to explain this… Let’s just say… that… the number of 190s changed a bit… There are 2 more of them! (I’ve already punished myself for buying them, so I can start building them!)
Here’s the full list of my projects. Joe, would you mind just copying it into the build roster?
- Eduard Fw 190 A-8 (Black 10)
- Eduard Fw 190 A-8/R2 (Black 13)
- Tamiya Fw 190 F-8 (Red 9)
- Hasegawa Fw 190 F-8 (Red 10) it’s the same one Greg is building
- Eduard Fw 190 D-9 (Black <I)
- Eduard Fw 190 D-9 (Black 1)
- Eduard Fw 190 D-11 (Red 4)
- Eduard Fw 190 D-13 (Yellow 10)
- Dragon Ta 152 C-0 (CI+XM)
- Zoukei Mura Ta 152 H-0 1/32 scale
The new 190s are the ZM and the Hasegawa kits
I won’t start the ZM kit untill the other 9 models are finished though (not enough space on my bench)
Cheers, Clemens
Oh, I should be able to show you some pics of all the completed interiors untill next Sunday. I just finished the last sub-assemblies for the 'pits and I’m going to paint them next week (It takes a bit longer when you are working on so many 190s at the same time…)
Oh man! Clemen’s was it the trip over seas that drove you over the edge?[:O] I thought I was bad cuz I just picked up another fw 190 A-5 Dragon so that makes 13 in my stash. but I’m only working 3 at the moment and they are almost all done. the one for this build is from JG300 if I remember right, green paint on the spine and blue/white/blue stripes.
Joe,
put me down for a Dragon FW190 A-7 1/48 it’ll have the snake head decals i believe it JG10 “schlangenschwarm”
What edge? Oh, you meant that edge I passed about 3 months ago? Nah, that was before I travelled to the states… On a more serious note: I do think I’m kinda nuts (regarding modelling), but that only affects the number of models on my bench and nothing else…
Nothing wrong with that, we just thought you might want to pass some of them out so we could help you finish them. Wink Wink!

**falconmod:**Got yours down. Cool another one out of you!
**Clemens:**I’m still working on yours. I have the list written down and will post those tonight.
You could help me with the Dragon 152. That thing is a pain to assemble. One fuselage half is shorter than the other one and the nose section doesn’t fit very well either…
Thanks, Joe!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeuuck!!! Hate it for you there Clemens!!
How does one fix that? Sanding and putty are the only things I know of!!
You mean the the 152 I just got has that problem too? I guess we’ll be sharing the razor saw and the sheet styrene![:O] I haven’t had the time to test fit anything on that one. It’s number 11 down on the list of 190’s

Thanks again guys. I 'm leaning on yellow 10 or the one from Pilsen-Bory airfield. I picked this kit up at a local show for $25 but it only has one aircraft but a new and sealed Eduard #48666 pe set was included which I will use on a Pro Modeler Dora that I also have. I think I did ok with the price since the dual pack retails for about $57.
Clemens is that the 152 H or C version? My Dragon Ta 152H was a dream to assemble, except for the warped wings.
Welcome aboard plasticjunkie, and welcome back John!
Here’s what it will look like in the end.

I guess between the clear nature of your Alclad Kleer Gloss and finding “mineral spirits” in the label, it’s not the aqua (water-based) then. What sort of a finish do you get blowing it on? I’m finding the Aqua to be not quite the no-skill-required glass-like finish even following Nathan’s suggestions. But that’s just after one day’s experimenting. It surely dries fast though, and the finish feels hard and dry to the touch, unlike the Vallejo clear varnish which seems to take forever to cure and has that odd Vallejo almost rubbery feel.So far I’m liking it better than Future or Vallejo Clear Varnish, though.
Any trouble laying the Alclad Kleer over acrylics?
And yes, I did promise, didn’t I… [:)]
Yours ended up great, Joe. Hat’s off to your patience and perseverance getting it to lay down.
I’m happy with my first attempt. I noticed a tiny wrinkle I missed, but I have already gloss coated it so probably best leave it alone. Or I might get brave and try to sand it down, dunno. Having no experience, I positioned it like the box art showed. Maybe it’s right, maybe not. 
And so glad you joined the GB, Plasticjunkie!
