Wow, JOE! That’s some crazy camo. Looks real good, man. What Gruppe or Staffel used this scheme?
…and there aint NOTHIN wrong with that Joe!
Wow Joe, that turned out nice!! I was having a hella hard time figuring out the scheme until now!
That is a pretty elaborate scheme you have there Joe. Nice and busy and for a smaller scale. Really increases the “wow” factor.
Thank You Very Much Gentlemen. Your kudos are definitely encouraging.
Tony - Hmm, a filter? Now that might definitely be an option. I believe I will do a a little testing on my stunt model. Thanks for the idea.
Bill - This aircraft was with III./SG3.
Very cool Joe, love the contrast of colors.
Hey what can I say?? Eduard makes a great 190 kit.
Joe: That is some stunning work on the camo! I love it!
They are great kits, but you must be completely mad (like me and Eric) to build more than one of them at the same time… There aint nothin’ bad about it!

This is true. I can’t attempt more than one at a time really. I have my Dauntless on the side lines but this 190 is consuming all of my modelbuilding time.
First… Joe… Like others have said, WOW. would have never pictured that but I do love the unusual schemes! Well done my brother…
second… Joe (Mustang) looking forward to more of your 190 too! I do admire your patience and persistance!

I’ve got some more done on it as of the weekend and am hitting it hard this week. I took the canopy and windscreen off and am working on the wing cannon and MG131 access covers. While those have been curing out I’ve turned my attention to the upper instrument panel area also. I’m actually dreading the engine mounting. I’ll get past it though. It always seems to work itself out. Will post some pictures soon.
Looking forward to the pics, Joe! I’m still busy with sanding and filling, followed by some more sanding, followed by polishing,… I think you got it… [;)]
Joe, that looks fantastic!
Doug, thanks for the welcome. Nice to meet you, too. I wasn’t sure it was proper to post in a GB, but figured with the nice bunch around here I wouldn’t get yelled at.
Doug, Joe, Clemens, I’d love to but… I don’t have a 190 and I’m afraid two builds at a time is not something I’m quite ready for yet. But I truly appreciate you chaps thinking of me, and if it’s ok for me to follow along and keep learning stuff with the occasional comment, that’d be great!
I think when I finish my TBM, might put together something not WWII aircraft for a change of pace. Otherwise I’d be jumping all over joining in, after figuring out how to sneak a 190 kit into the house.
How about emptying your box of the Avenger and throwing a 190 kit inside? You can say it’s the Avenger you are working on! Those Eduard kits should fit into that box…
Just join the dark side of the force and buy one…
Those Sith tricks worked one time already, so I just try using them on you as well. Just tell me if it works… [;)] [6]
Cheers, Clemens

Ha! Will keep these devious ideas in my bag of tricks.
Odd thing is, I’m not even married. [whstl]
Doug-You got it man, no sweat! Can’t wait to see an update.
Clemens-Same to you man, looking forward to seeing your progress!
Greg-Chime right in man, we’re a friendly bunch although you may question some of our sanity…
I have an update coming for my dual build. Got everything closed up and primed and preshaded. Just finished painting the ID bands and applied the RLM76. Will throw the 74,75, and 83 on tomorrow evening and get an update afterwards. I am at the point right now where I really really really want to remove the tape from the id bands and the cowl on Dortenmanns bird!!!
Been puttering around with the seat harness set, first time I used one of these and as luck would have it I launched one of the PE seat attach points into the waiting mouth of the carpet monster [cnsod]. Also look like I may have some serious fit issues when I get ready to mount the cockpit assembly to the fuselage. Using the Scale Aircraft Conversions landing gear set and when I get to that stage it will be installing a square peg into a round hole. Being an Airfix kit I knew it would be a challenge. This Weds my surgeon get’s to play with her exacto on me and I will be out on sick leave till the 19th so I’m hoping to get a lot more done on the kit during my down time.

Clemens: Thats just way too much work to get something in the house! LOL. Out of the choice of hobbies I think my wife MUCH prefers this hobby. I used to build 1:1 scale muscle cars and that sir, IS way more expensive than this hobby.
Archangel: Cant wait to see more pictures out of you. Your build looks fantastic. I built a 1/24 Trumpy Bf109 and those size builds lend themselves to nothing but straight detail and yours is certainly no exception.
Jester: Pics Pics Pics. Following your build is inspirational to me. It gives me hope! Looking forward to seeing your progress.
Well guys I haven’t posted a picture in a while and figured I would update everyone on progress. I painted, weathered and installed both gun root access hatches. After looking at the pictures it looks like I need to weather them just a tad more.
Very nice work!!!
