  1. All my photos from the last six months are gone, WTF?
  2. Very interesting scheme, looking good!
  3. If your "pusher" Mike ever buys one, YES!
  4. I'm guessing you'll get something more in the Hasegawa realm of detail, which is fine by me.
  5. Now available here if anyone is interested (I've got three cowls and two spinner/prop sets ordered): http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/rustusmanov/m.html?item=261549612206&hash=item3ce5925cae&pt=Model_Kit_US&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562
  6. From Cybermodeler's report on the IPMS Nats: http://www.cybermodeler.com/special/ipms2014.shtml Finally, Zoukei Mura Inc. will be producing the Focke Wulf 190 series in 1/32 scale as well as introducing a new kit concept. With the the SWS series of kits, you have lots of details that make up the kit and while they take time to build, the finished resut is a masterpiece, They've heard the feedback from some of their customers looking for kits that are less complex but still have lots of details. The result is a new BASIC series that will use advanced molding technology to provide lots of details molded into fuselage interiors and other assemblies that would be provided as separate parts in the SWS series. The subjects coming in the Fw 190 series include: Fw 190A-3 (Basic) Fw 190A-4 (SWS) Fw 190A-5/6/7 (Basic) Fw 190A-8 (SWS) Fw 190D-9 (SWS)
  7. Beautiful, Ralph! The Hasegawa 109 still looks every bit as good to me as the Revell kit (and goes together easier to boot).
  8. Actually that was a conscious decision on my part, I was under the impression the pod was not manufactured for left or right wing use, the ejection port would be on the same side on both wings. Oh well, live and learn!
  9. I was thinking the same thing, kind of interesting with all the different natural metal colors on there! Alas, it's already received a coat of Mr. Surfacer black primer and the hull is now dark yellow, oh well!
  10. Thanks for all the comments guys! This is a nice kit and really was an enjoyable build, if you're a 109 fan I'd highly recommend it.
  11. Steve, I did miss the hole for the starter crank, been meaning to correct that! Hopefully that's what you're referring to or it's two gaffs! Ralph, I'm a big fan of Italian 109's too. A lot of late war Luftwaffe 109's were rather plain but the Italians seemed to apply the unit livery and personal symbols right up until the end.
  12. Unfortunately we didn't finish this one up as planned, keeping these guys on track is like herding cats! Watch your windscreen fit, I had issues on this one and the G-10 as well. Here's my contribution form this effort:
  13. That works, no idea why PB doesn't, do you have a Youtube account?
  14. Trying a Youtube video.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYw0JKWBYV8
  15. OK, the Tiger hasn't gotten any love recently so I pulled it off the shelf yesterday. Just about ready for paint, I've used an RB metal barrel, Aber PE grill covers, brass tow hooks and some lead foil to make the side fenders look appropriately abused.
