DOH, i had forgotten we already had it. Now saved to the comp. Thanks.
No problem dude. I would have already printed mine out to slide under the clear acrylic plastic sheet I have covering my workbench but my stupid printer went out a few days ago. Jeez! If it’s not one thing breaking its another. Oh well I need to find some gratitude with other good things before I find myself with a crying towel!
So anyways I just ordered two more reference books for this plane in addition to the Aero Detail book just got in the mail. You all seem to have a one up on me because I didn’t know Jack Crap about a 190 before I decided to start this GB but I’m learnin’.
Hey Nathan, I was thinking of get the Big Ed from eduard. The lit comes with an engine which I plan to pose open. But does anyone make a more accurate one? Really want to make this one of my best models and put as much aftermarket and scratchbuilt detail in as possible.
Thanks for the links to the websites, I’m gonna check em out!
Thanks AndrewW too!
If you have any other suggestions please share!

kinda of a dumb question…when responding to a post, how do you reply with the original post attached to the new post?
Use the rich formatting link and the Quote button is below the post you want to use. Its not as easy as it was before the change over and took a bit of working out.
Thanks Bish!
William… Check CMKmodels,com, They arent inexpensive but make some kick ass details.
Beg pardon William, its cmkkits.com Sorry…
Well folks it’s been a few days since anybody has posted on here so I figured why not post something myself just to let you know that I am (as are alot of us out there) still fired up about all of this here. I now have 3 reference books to draw from which are 1) Fw190 In Action , 2) Focke-Wulf Fw190 with text by Robert Grinsell and illustrations by Rikyu Watanabe (thanks to Rigidrider) and 3) Aero Detail #5 Fw190. I also have a DVD entitled, “A Butcher Bird’s Tale” on the way. I’ve never seen it but hey whats one more reference? Anyhow just still finishing up the 109 for that GB and taking it easy. Got Thanksgiving and Christmas to get through yet. Take care you all and will be seeing you on here, Joe
I just got a sweet reference book on the Dora. Broken eagle’s Fighter pictorials. Its short but sweet. Got it for 3 dollars used off amazon. Its got great pictures of both wrecked and intact doras, many of which I haven’t seen before. I’m trying to collect all the broken eagle series.
Thanks Nathan…I’ll look into the Broken Eagles book. Had’nt seen that one yet. Just got my copy of Walk Around Fw190-D. Walk around #10, Squadron/Signal publications. Also a short but good book, has many intact Doras, along with numerous “broken eagles” along with some very cool illustrations. An added plus is a RLM color chart near the back, in with the illustrations. Joe I also have the Fw190 in action, very nice book and lots of great info! Gotta love Amazon! Take care all…

I think the Squadron Walk around dora book shows the d-9 in the museum which has the d-13 wings attached. If so just remember there is a difference between the two wings. I’m hoping for some of Erik Mombeek’s JG 1 and JG 4 books for christmas, as they have some sweet pics of both 190 Sturmbocks and 109s.
What the heck , count Herman and I in , I have no idea of scale or scheme ,

Well let’s git’r’done dude! Glad youre here. Let me know when you know what you want to build and I’ll post it on the opening page bud.
Anyone here built the Hobbyboss Ta 152C? Reviews look sweet, and I see they just released the torpedo carrying boxing. I’m thinking of adding that kit for this build. Its definitely a much newer tooling than the Dragon kit.
The torpedo carrying kit would have been my back-up plan if I couldn’t find the Fw-190 A8 and my decals, but only the torpedo carrying version is one that has my interest.
I wouldn’t mind at all if you would build one to, the more we have the better!
With regards, Ninetalis.
A couple of torpedo droppers would be nice. I like the look.
With all the fun and frolics going on round here lately, i think we may have got distracted. So just thought i would bring this back to your attention and hope your all still looking forward to this GB. I know Mustang is itching to get going. And i am trying my hardest to get my other builds completed to start this ASAP.
Yes, my Wurger stash is growing larger every week it seems, can’t wait to start here.
I’m still in. Given the other stuff I’ve got on the bench, I’m guessing I’ll either be doing a Tamiya F-8 with markings stolen out of the Eduard kit, a Tamiya D-9 as a captured Soviet Dora, or the HobbyBoss Ta 152C-0.
